Laser Spider Vein Removal

Benefits/How It Works

Benefits:

Laser technology has revolutionized cosmetic dermatology and the way we can treat various skin imperfections. We are able to use lasers for vein treatment at our Victoria, British Columbia practice. Our laser vein treatments target the veins only, creating a more attractive skin appearance without substantial discomfort or damage to the surrounding skin.

To learn more about treatment options for vein removal, please send us an email or call us at (250) 598-3300 or (877) 598-3380. Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Mark Lupin understands the significance of patient safety and comfort. His practice is dedicated to providing high-quality cosmetic medical care for patients on Vancouver Island.

How It Works:

With laser vein treatment, unwanted blood vessels on the face, around the eyes, on the legs, and on the body can be treated effectively. Because we have many different laser systems, we can treat a wide range of vessels, including small red and larger bluish veins. Non-bruising technology minimizes downtime and can achieve long-lasting results.

With the HELP-G laser, pulsed light is applied to the skin surface and is selectively absorbed by the blood vessels. The result is vessels that are sealed rather than ruptured. The Cool-Tip technology allows for specific treatment of the targeted blood vessels, while keeping the surface skin comfortable. For larger, bluish veins, one of our long-pulsed Nd:YAG lasers is used.
