Laser Vein Treatment | Bluffton, SC

Usually located on the face and legs, spider veins are small, branching blood vessels that are visible underneath the skin. Caused by many factors, like genetics, advanced age, and obesity, spider veins can be blue, red, and purple, which makes them difficult to hide. Since these unattractive veins usually multiply over time and become more visible, it's advisable to get help when they first appear. To reduce the look of spider veins on the body and face, VIP Cosmetic Surgery offers noninvasive laser vein removal treatments. During your first visit, medical director Dr. Kenneth Farr can assess your condition and create a personalized treatment plan. To schedule your appointment, call our office in Bluffton, SC. 

Laser vein reduction sessions are performed at our Bluffton, SC med spas as outpatient procedures. Treatments take about 20 – 60 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being addressed. First, the skin will be cleansed and a local numbing cream will be applied to reduce any discomfort. Then, the laser handpiece will be passed over the skin to deliver pulses of light energy. This will cause the vessels to collapse and shrink. 

Following your laser vein removal treatment, you may experience swelling, redness, and bruising; however, these side effects usually subside over the next 7 – 10 days. On average, small spider veins usually disappear after 3 – 6 weeks and larger vessels dissipate after about 3 – 4 months. Typically, multiple treatments are needed to attain the best results. 

Instead of concealing or covering unattractive spider veins on your face and body, try nonsurgical laser vein reduction treatments at VIP Cosmetic Surgery in Bluffton, SC to help improve the appearance of your complexion. At your consultation, Kenneth Farr, M.D. will examine your skin and build a custom treatment plan to suit your goals. The results yield clearer, smoother skin.
