Say goodbye to spider veins with our advanced laser treatment

The Sharplight Nd Yag laser treats a broad range of vessels, from tiny spider veins to Cherry Angiomas on the face and body.

How does it work to close the vein?

The Nd Yag Laser/IPL delivers pulses of light energy that cause the blood within the vein to coagulate, eventually destroying the vessel, which is later reabsorbed by your own body. Blood flow will then be redirected to veins deeper below your skin's surface.

What visible vessels can be treated with the Nd Yag Laser

• Broken blood vessels on the face (telangiectasias)

• Nose veins

• Spider angiomas

• Cherry angiomas

• Small leg veins

How many laser treatments do I need?

Results vary depending on the patient and the condition being treated. Typically, patients may need 1–3 treatments for smaller facial veins, with treatment intervals of 4–8 weeks. Larger veins or other vascular lesions may need more treatments.

Is there downtime?

After the treatment, you may have some redness and bruising, but it can be hidden with makeup. Blistering and scarring are rare.

What can I expect when I get a spider vein treatment done?

When you come in for a treatment, we will cleanse the area that we are treating, then apply a small amount of ultrasound gel to the skin. You will wear laser safety goggles to shield your eyes. You will feel some heat and the sensation of an elastic band hitting the skin when the laser/IPL is activated. The treatment only takes a few minutes, and the laser exposure time is only seconds. After the treatment is over, we apply some aloe vera gel to the skin.

You should never pick the skin after treatment, and always protect your skin from the sun. The discomfort is brief and minimal, lasting only seconds.

You can wash your face as normal and put makeup on right away.
If you need another treatment we recommend waiting 4-8 weeks in between treatments.
