Laser Vein Removal
At Eros Beauty and Wellness, we understand that visible veins, whether spider veins or small varicose veins, can affect not only your appearance but also your confidence. Our laser vein removal services in San Diego provide a safe, effective, and minimally invasive solution to reduce or eliminate unwanted veins and restore smooth, healthy-looking skin.
Whether you’re concerned about veins on your legs, face, or other areas, laser vein removal offers a modern alternative to surgery, allowing you to achieve visible results with minimal downtime.
Laser Vein Removal in San Diego
Laser vein removal is a non-surgical procedure that uses targeted laser energy to collapse and fade visible veins. By directing focused light at the affected veins, the treatment stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, allowing the veins to gradually disappear over time.
Laser vein removal is commonly used to treat:
- Spider veins – Small, thin veins visible near the surface of the skin, often red, blue, or purple.
- Small varicose veins – Enlarged, twisted veins that may appear on the legs.
- Facial veins – Veins around the nose, cheeks, or chin that can cause redness.
Unlike invasive treatments, laser vein removal is precise, targeting only the affected vessels while leaving surrounding skin unharmed.
How Laser Vein Removal Works
Laser vein removal works through a process called photothermolysis, where laser energy is absorbed by the blood vessels, causing them to heat up and collapse. Over the following weeks, the treated veins are naturally absorbed by the body, reducing their appearance.
The treatment process typically includes:
- Consultation and Evaluation – Our specialists assess your veins, skin type, and medical history to determine the best approach.
- Customized Laser Settings – Using advanced laser technology, the treatment is tailored to your specific veins and skin tone.
- Laser Application – A handheld device delivers pulses of light to the targeted veins, often accompanied by a cooling system to ensure comfort.
- Healing and Results – Collapsed veins are gradually reabsorbed by the body. Multiple sessions may be necessary for optimal results.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure, often described as a mild snapping or tingling sensation.
Benefits of Laser Vein Removal
Laser vein removal offers numerous advantages over traditional vein treatments:
- Non-Invasive – No incisions or stitches are required.
- Precision – Lasers target specific veins without damaging surrounding skin.
- Quick Recovery – Most patients resume normal activities immediately.
- Minimal Discomfort – Cooling mechanisms and modern laser technology reduce pain.
- Long-Lasting Results – Treated veins are permanently removed, though new veins may develop over time.
With laser vein removal in San Diego at Eros Beauty and Wellness, you can enjoy smoother, clearer skin with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Who Can Benefit from Laser Vein Removal?
Laser vein removal is suitable for most individuals with visible veins who are seeking a non-surgical solution. Ideal candidates may have:
- Spider veins on the legs or face
- Small varicose veins
- Redness or visible veins caused by genetics, aging, or sun exposure
- Healthy skin without active infections or open wounds in the treatment area
Our team provides a personalized consultation to determine if laser vein removal is appropriate for you and to create a tailored treatment plan.
Preparing for Your Laser Vein Removal Treatment
Proper preparation can enhance results and reduce the risk of side effects. We recommend:
- Avoid Sun Exposure – Protect treated areas from direct sunlight for at least two weeks prior.
- Skip Certain Medications or Products – Some topical agents or blood-thinning medications may need to be paused; our specialists will advise you.
- Shave or Cleanse the Area – Ensure the skin is clean and free of lotions or oils before treatment.
- Wear Comfortable Clothing – Especially for leg treatments, loose clothing helps prevent irritation post-treatment.
Following these guidelines helps optimize treatment safety and effectiveness.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
Laser vein removal sessions are designed to be comfortable and efficient. Here’s what typically happens:
- Initial Consultation – Your provider evaluates the veins and marks the areas to be treated.
- Laser Procedure – The laser is applied to the veins in short pulses. You may feel a mild snapping or warming sensation.
- Post-Treatment Care – The treated area may appear slightly red or swollen for a few hours. Our team provides instructions for care at home.
Most treatments last 20–45 minutes depending on the size and number of veins being treated. Multiple sessions are often needed to achieve optimal results.
Post-Treatment Care and Recovery
After your laser vein removal session, following proper care is crucial:
- Avoid Sun Exposure – Protect treated areas with clothing or sunscreen.
- Gentle Skincare – Use mild cleansers and moisturizers; avoid exfoliating products for several days.
- Compression Garments – For leg treatments, wearing compression stockings may be recommended to support healing.
- Monitor for Side Effects – Mild redness, swelling, or bruising is normal and typically resolves within days.
With appropriate aftercare, most patients see noticeable improvement within a few weeks, with full results developing over several months.
