Vascular Reduction in Saratoga Springs & Latham, NY

After being treated with our Long-Pulsed Yag laser, the veins are permanently destroyed. Our laser heats up the unwanted veins, causing them to collapse and shut. After each session, your spider veins will become lighter and eventually disappear. It’s important to note that laser vascular reduction treatments cannot prevent new spider veins from occurring. To guard against new veins, you’ll need to address the underlying issues that contribute to the formation of spider veins in the first place.

Every vein treatment is unique. The time of treatment depends on the size, type, and area of the vein being treated. Since they’re smaller in size, spider veins can typically be treated in as little as 15 minutes. We may suggest multiple laser vein treatments to achieve your desired results.

The vascular reduction process may cause some mild discomfort. Many patients describe the feeling of treatment as a mild stinging sensation or a rubber band being snapped against the skin. If you’re worried about discomfort, a topical anesthetic can be applied, but often, patients find the treatment to be completely comfortable. Some redness and swelling may occur after treatment, which can subside in the following weeks.
