Laser Vein Treatment

Gone are the days of hiding your legs because of spider veins or small varicose veins. With laser technology, unsightly veins under your skin can be removed with just a few treatments and very little discomfort. We can treat spider veins and reticular veins on the legs — and you’ll be wearing shorts and skirts with bare legs before you know it!

We can also treat broken capillaries and small spider veins on the face, called telangiectasia, to restore your natural beauty and keep you looking your youthful best.

How it works

Laser vein treatment works by heating up the vein, causing the blood within the vein to coagulate. This simple treatment destroys the vessel by blocking blood flow. The body then naturally absorbs the vein because it doesn’t serve a purpose anymore. Smaller veins can disappear almost right away, while bigger ones may take a few weeks. *

No Accutane use for 6 months prior, and no waxing, retinols, hydroquinone, benzoyl peroxide, etc. for 5 days prior to your appointment. It’s important to keep the treated area out of sunlight post treatment. Your skin might feel a little uncomfortable for a few hours after the treatment; cold compresses can help.

A Consultation for Spider Vein or Single Spot/Lesion is required before treatment to determine which technology is best suited for you. You can also email or text us us a photo if its a single spot/lesion.

Pre- and Post-Care

    • No sun-tanning or self-tanners 4 weeks prior to treatment (Includes spray tans, tanning lotions, tanning beds, etc.)

    • Some medications or supplements may increase the risk of bruising. Consult with your physician.

    • Avoid treatments that may irritate the skin for 1-2 weeks prior to treatment (waxing, depilatories, over-the-counter or prescription Vitamin A creams, retinol, benzoyl peroxide, glycolic/salicylic acids, astringents, etc.)

    • Notify the clinic of any changes to your health history or medications since your last appointment.

    • Avoid sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen to prevent further sun damage.

    • Bruising, redness and swelling are common and resolve in a few days.

    • A “bug bite look” is common and usually resolves in 1-2 days.

    • Avoid heat – hot tubs, saunas, etc. for 1-2 days.

    • Avoid skin irritants 1-2 weeks post-treatment (Over the counter or prescription Vitamin A, retinol, benzoyl peroxide, glycolic/salicylic acids, astringents, etc.)

    • Notify clinic of any concerns (blistering, excessive redness/swelling, discomfort etc.)

    • Compression stockings (20-30 mm/hg) are recommended.

    • Avoid high-impact activity 3-5 days

    • Hemosiderin staining (brown staining) may occur after treatment and usually resolves with time (can take 1-2 years). Permanent staining can happen, but it is rare, and strict avoidance of sun exposure may decrease risk.

    • Large leg veins may take a couple of months to resolve and should not be re-treated before then.

“I have been dealing with numerous unsightly spider veins on my legs for many years, something I thought I had to live with. I recently found out that with today’s laser technology, not only could my spider veins be treated, but that they could be dramatically reduced.

In my very first treatment at Nivali, I saw amazing results instantly. The treatment had a very mild sensation, and the myths about laser technology being painful were eliminated. I experienced no discomfort beyond my own comfort level.

The atmosphere was professional, and Charmaine was friendly and attentive. I am continuing my treatments and look forward to having clear legs for the first time in many years.”
