Laser Vein Treatment & Sclerotherapy In Glendale, CA
Laser Vein Treatment & Sclerotherapy In Glendale, CA
Laser Vein Treatment is a non-invasive method designed to target and eliminate visible veins, such as spider veins and small varicose veins. This procedure works by directing a concentrated laser beam onto the affected vein, where the light’s specific wavelength is absorbed by the hemoglobin in the blood. This absorption causes the vein to heat up and eventually collapse. A treated vein is naturally reabsorbed by the body over a period of time, resulting in clearer skin. Laser Vein Treatment can be applied to various areas, including the legs, face, and hands, making it a versatile solution for enhancing skin appearance. This treatment is both precise and effective, especially for veins that are too small or delicate for more invasive methods.
Sclerotherapy (Vein Injection)
Sclerotherapy, in contrast, involves injecting a sclerosing solution directly into the vein. This solution triggers irritation in the inner lining of the vessel. This causes it to collapse and eventually be reabsorbed by the body. Sclerotherapy is particularly effective for treating medium-sized veins, including spider veins and larger varicose veins. There is little downtime associated with the procedure, and it is minimally invasive. Together, Laser Vein Treatment & Sclerotherapy in Glendale, CA, provide a comprehensive approach to vein removal, addressing a wide range of needs and conditions. This combination of treatments is ideal for those who experience discomfort or cosmetic concerns due to visible veins. As the body processes the treated veins, full effects generally become apparent within a few months, with initial results visible in just a few weeks. The results are long-lasting, though maintenance treatments may be necessary based on individual factors. To take the first step towards smoother, clearer skin, schedule an appointment at New Look Skin Center in Glendale, CA.

FAQ
Are compression stockings required post leg vein treatments?
After Laser Vein Treatment & Sclerotherapy, compression stockings are often recommended, particularly for leg treatments. These stockings help reduce swelling, promote proper blood flow, and assist in the healing process. Wearing them as directed by your provider can enhance the effectiveness of the treatment and lower the risk of complications.
How many laser vein treatments are needed?
The number of Laser Vein Treatment sessions needed depends on the size and number of veins being treated, as well as the patient’s response to the treatment. On average, patients may require between one to three sessions to achieve optimal results. During your consultation, your provider will evaluate exactly what you need and create a customized treatment plan for you.
Will I see immediate results?
While some patients may notice a reduction in visible veins shortly after Laser Vein Treatment & Sclerotherapy, it usually takes a few weeks to see significant improvement. The treated veins gradually fade as the body absorbs them. Full results may take up to three months to become fully visible.
What are the contraindications for laser vein treatment?
Laser Vein Treatment is not recommended for people with certain medical conditions, such as active skin infections, uncontrolled diabetes, or those taking blood-thinning medications.
