Laser Vein Treatment

What is laser vein treatment?

Laser vein treatment at the Women’s Health Specialists of Central Florida uses noninvasive GentleMax Pro® laser technology to get rid of spider or varicose veins that appear on your face, thighs, calves, feet, or other areas of your body. 

These veins often look like a network of tiny red, blue, or purple lines on the surface of your skin. Laser treatment can remove them.

How does laser vein treatment work?

GentleMax Pro laser technology removes unsightly veins by using laser heat to shrink and close veins and creating scar tissue within each vein to seal it off. This forces blood to flow through nearby veins instead. Over time, treated spider and varicose veins fade away.

Is laser vein treatment right for me?

To determine if laser vein treatment is the right procedure for you, Dr. Senchani and her team review your medical history and examine your skin. For larger veins, they might suggest sclerotherapy, a procedure in which your provider injects veins with a special solution to close them off and make them disappear over time.

What happens during the procedure?

During laser vein treatment, you sit down in a comfortable chair in a relaxing room. Dr. Senchani gives you glasses to protect your eyes from the laser and can apply a local numbing agent to your skin to make the procedure feel comfortable. She emits GentleMax Pro laser energy on your skin near the unsightly veins to destroy them. 

What should I expect after laser vein treatment?

After laser vein treatment, you might experience mild redness or swelling at the treatment site. You can apply ice to the area if you’d like to reduce swelling. There’s no downtime after the procedure, so you can resume your everyday routine right away. Wear compression stockings if Dr. Senchani recommends it and protect your skin from the sun.

Over the next few weeks or months, spider and varicose veins fade away. Dr. Senchani might recommend a series of treatments to give you the best outcome.
