How does laser treatment for spider veins work?

A specialized laser emits an intense beam of light that targets abnormal blood vessels and causes them to collapse, without damaging the surrounding tissue. At Beauty & Wellness on Olive in Creve Coeur we use the DYE-VL laser for these treatments, and most patients feel only mild discomfort.

What can it treat?

Laser treatment for vascular lesions is effective for conditions such as:

Spider veins
Broken capillaries
Cherry angiomas
Redness and small red veins from rosacea

Can laser help rosacea?

Rosacea causes redness on the cheeks, forehead and nose, along with pimples, bumps and small red veins. There is no permanent cure, but treatments can reduce symptoms and improve overall skin health. These include topical creams, oral medications and laser therapy.

Laser treatment reduces inflammation in the area being treated, and most patients notice an improvement after a few treatments. If breakouts are your main concern, see our acne treatment.

What happens after treatment?

Redness and swelling are usually minimal and settle within a few days, and some people have light bruising. Keep the treated area clean and covered. Results may be visible straight away or within a few days to a week, and some concerns need more than one session.
