The Treatment
How Laser Vein Removal Works
Laser vein removal directs light energy toward selected visible vessels. The treated vessels may gradually become less noticeable as the body clears them over time. Your provider assesses your skin and vessels to determine whether treatment is suitable.
01
Targeted Laser Energy
The 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser delivers controlled energy to selected visible blood vessels beneath the skin.
02
Selective Heating
Blood in the targeted vessel absorbs the laser energy and heats, which can cause the vessel to close.
03
Skin Cooling
Cooling may help improve comfort and protect the skin’s surface during treatment.
04
Gradual Vessel Clearance
The body gradually clears treated vessels over time, which may make them less visible. Results and timing vary.

Vascular Concerns
Vascular Concerns That May Respond to Laser
Selected superficial vessels may respond to Cynosure Elite+ laser treatment. Suitability depends on factors such as vessel size, depth, location, and skin type, and is assessed before treatment.
Facial Spider Veins
Fine red or purple vessels on the cheeks and other facial areas can sometimes be reduced with carefully selected laser settings.
Leg Spider Veins
Certain small, superficial leg spider veins may respond to Nd:YAG laser treatment. However, sclerotherapy is often preferred for many leg spider veins. Larger veins or symptoms such as swelling, pain, or skin changes require medical assessment before cosmetic treatment.
Chin & Jawline Capillaries
Visible superficial vessels around the chin and jawline may be suitable for targeted treatment. Diffuse facial redness may need a different treatment approach.
Residual Spider Veins
Some remaining superficial vessels after previous vein treatment may be suitable for laser treatment following assessment.
Laser treatment is not suitable for every vascular concern. Your provider will assess the vessels and discuss appropriate options. Results vary; some people may need multiple sessions.

Personalized Assessment
Is Laser Vein Removal Right for You?

Your provider can discuss whether further assessment or an alternative treatment is appropriate. Patients who are pregnant, have recently tanned skin, or have certain medical conditions or medications may need to postpone treatment or undergo additional assessment.

Frequently asked questions about laser vein removal
Learn about treatment suitability, comfort, recovery, session planning, and the differences between laser treatment and other options.
