Address Unsightly Spider Veins with Laser Vein Treatment in Atlanta.
Spider veins affect millions of men and women worldwide. They’re especially a concern for millions of women in the U.S. alone. Though most cases are typically a cosmetic issue and involve no symptoms, for some people, they can indicate an underlying circulatory problem. Regardless of it being cosmetic or otherwise, you don’t have to live with unsightly veins. Laser vein treatment in Atlanta with the 1064nm YAG laser is considered the treatment of choice at Atlanta Face & Body.
How does a laser vein treatment work?
During a laser vein treatment, our state-of-the-art 1064nm YAG laser will precisely target visible veins in the desired treatment area. This laser uses focused light energy to heat unwanted blood vessels, causing them to coagulate and gradually be absorbed by the body. Once eventually absorbed, you’ll experience a visible reduction or elimination of unwanted spider veins.

The most common side effects from laser vein treatment include redness or swelling at the treatment site, slight discomfort or tingling, skin sensitivity, bruising, and blistering.
