What to Expect during a Laser Vein Removal Treatment?
During a laser vein removal treatment, the provider will begin by cleaning the area to be treated and may apply a cooling gel or topical anesthetic to enhance comfort. Protective eyewear is typically provided to shield the eyes from the laser light. The laser device is then used to deliver controlled pulses of light to the targeted veins. These pulses may feel like a mild stinging or warming sensation as the laser works to heat the veins, causing them to collapse. The procedure itself is relatively quick, often taking 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
After the treatment, patients may experience mild redness, swelling, or warmth in the treated area, similar to a mild sunburn. These side effects typically resolve within a few hours to a few days. It’s important to follow post-treatment instructions, which may include avoiding sun exposure and refraining from strenuous exercise for a short period. With minimal downtime, most patients can resume their normal activities immediately, making laser vein removal a convenient and efficient treatment for visible veins.
