Facial Vein Laser Treatment Miami
 Facial
veins (also called telangiectasias) are usually
found on the forehead, nose, cheeks, eyelids, neck
and upper chest. The exact cause is unknown but
doctors believe they are related to heredity, oral
contraceptives, hormone therapy, sun exposure or
normal aging. They may also be related to rosacea,
another treatable skin condition. These spider
veins and red blotches on the face affect millions
of people.
How Long Do Treatments Take And Do They Hurt?
Depending on the number of vessels treated and
their location, treatments usually take
only several minutes. Most patients describe the
sensation to be like the snap of a
rubber band on the skin as the pulses of energy
are delivered through the handpiece. A
topical anesthesia is available for patients with
sensitive skin. After treatment, the pain is
minimal to nonexistent.
What Is Recovery Like?
After treatment discomfort is minimal. When
treated with certain lasers or light systems
some swelling, redness may occur.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Usually multiple treatments are necessary to
achieve optimal results. Tiny pink and red
vessels typically require two to three treatments
and veins that are darker or purplish are
usually more difficult to remove, and require more
treatments. Treatments are spaced at
four to six week intervals.

How Does The Treatment Work?
The treatment is performed at your doctor’s
office; using new light and laser technology
to deliver precise dosages of energy to each
vein, with minimal risk to the skin. Light
energy is delivered through a special
handpiece to the targeted vein. The energy is
then absorbed by the blood vessels. The heat/energy
absorption causes thermocoagulation
(clogging) of the blood vessel. The clogged
vessel is then slowly absorbed by the body
Will The Veins Return After Treatment?
Optimal results can be maintained only if you
apply sunscreen on the treated area and
avoid sun exposure. Over time it is possible for
new veins to grow in, but these too can
be erased.
