What is Laser Vein & Lesion Treatment?
Commonly found on the legs and face, spider veins are small, branching blood vessels that are visible underneath the skin. Caused by many factors like genetics and age, spider veins may be blue, purple, and red, which makes them hard to mask. As these veins typically multiply over time and lead to stronger visibility, it's important to get help when you first notice them. To decrease the visibility of blood vessels on the body and face, AestheticFX Med Spa performs nonsurgical laser vein and lesion removal sessions for Frisco, TX residents. In your initial consultation, Beverly Farris can suggest a personalized plan to meet your unique needs and goals for your laser vein and lesion treatment.

How Does Laser Vein & Lesion Treatment Work?
Nonsurgical laser vein and lesion treatments are performed in our Frisco, TX Med Spa in about 20 – 40 minutes, based on the size and number of areas treated. For your laser vein and lesion reduction, you will relax in a reclined position in one of our treatment rooms as the affected area is cleansed and prepared. At your request, a local anesthetic may be applied before the treatment to lessen any potential discomfort. The handheld laser device is passed over the skin so the wavelengths can reach the spider veins with multiple pulses without affecting the surrounding tissues. The abnormal blood vessel absorbs the laser energy, which closes the walls of the veins. You will be able to leave our Med Spa right after the treatment to resume your normal routine.
Laser Vein Removal FAQ
Does the vein go away?
A laser vein treatment will address the vein with a beam of energy that heats up the vein to destroy it. The laser is precise and highly focused on the target area, so it will not damage the nearby skin. After the vein collapses, it takes about 4 – 6 weeks for it to be reabsorbed and fade away.
Where can laser vein removal be used?
Visible veins are often found on the face, thighs, lower legs, and near the ankles. Anywhere a spider vein exists, laser vein removal may be a good treatment option. Our state-of-the-art laser system uses precision, so the nearby tissue and skin are generally unharmed.
Is laser vein removal painful?
Before your treatment, we may apply a numbing cream to your skin. Most patients report feeling a slight tingling sensation or a sting when the laser is aimed at the vein. Most laser systems on the market, like ours, are equipped with a built-in feature that produces a cooling effect. This decreases discomfort while at the same time prevents the laser from becoming too hot, which may damage your skin.
