Who offers painless laser vein treatment?
There is no "painless" laser vein treatment. The pain from laser vein treatment can range from mild discomfort to a throbbing, burning feeling. Some people describe it like a small rubber band rapidly snapping on one's skin. However, for the best results, including making the treatment as comfortable as possible, always use a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Most local doctors can refer you to a specialist in the area of laser vein treatment. The procedure itself usually takes only 10 to 20 minutes and is usually fairly painless since a cooling cream or topical anesthetic can be used as well as the cooling head on the laser. More than one treatment may be necessary and is considered cosmetic surgery. Should check to verify if your insurance covers this.
What is the process for spider vein removal?
The most common process or treatment for spider vein removal is called sclerotherapy. In this process a sclerosing agent is injected into the vein which causes it to disappear. It generally takes at least 2 visits/treatments for it to be effective. After the treatment the patient must wear compression stockings for several days. Another method is a laser treatment where a bright laser beam is directed at the vein. Again, it takes multiple visits. Sometimes the two types of treatment are combined.

Phlebology, The New Vein Treatment By Laser?
There was a time in the recent past when any type of vein problem would have to be tolerated by the person who had them. That isn't true today. Now there is phlebology which is another word for laser vein treatment. Phlebology can treat the unsightly veins in the legs, nose and even the face. This laser procedure can treat spider veins, varicose veins, thread veins, reticular veins and even bulging leg varicose veins. Not only are these veins unsightly, they can also be very painful. To have these veins treated, a patient needs to visit a phlebologist who is a vein specialist doctor. Using a laser to treat the various vein problems is a much lesser invasive procedure than surgery. The phlebology field was created when vascular surgeons didn't have the background or expertise in lasers, or ultrasound. They were only familiar with the vein stripping surgery. That's why it is so important to see a phlebologist for this type of treatment. During the first visit to the phlebologist, he will examine the legs or face and evaluate the valves in the veins. If more information is needed, he may order Doppler testing or ultrasound to further test the veins. Then he can explain what type of treatment would be best. Small leg veins could be treated with laser vein removal. This may be done in addition to sclerotherapy which uses a small needle injection, or done alone. The procedure begins with a local anesthetic cream. Then the laser beam is applied directly to the skin in just a brief moment. After the treatment, the veins may appear inflamed, but this is temporary. In a few weeks they will disappear. Facial veins and spider veins can also be treated by laser. On facial veins the laser or the IPL, intense pulsed light, will eliminate the veins. The facial veins respond well to the laser even though the skin may be red for a while after the treatment. However, after a few weeks, the redness and the veins will be gone. The method works very similar to spider veins anywhere on the body. Other laser vein treatments are called the VNUS CLosure and Endovenous Laser Treatment, EVLT. The VNUS closure or EVLT is used to treat perforator veins of the legs which are the much shorter veins. It is radiofrequency that is used in these treatments and they can be done in the doctor's office under a local anesthesia. Before deciding to have laser vein treatment it is necessary to obtain a full evaluation by a qualified phlebologist.
