Laser Vein and Lesion Removal in Butte, MT

Commonly located on the legs and face, spider veins are tiny blood vessels that branch and become visible through the skin. Caused by many factors, like genetics and age, spider veins can look purple, red, and blue, which makes them challenging to conceal. As spider veins usually progress over the years and lead to stronger visibility, you should seek treatment when you first notice them. To minimize the appearance of veins or lesions on the body and face, our team at Flawless Salon and Medical Spa performs nonsurgical laser vein removal sessions for Butte, MT patients using state-of-the-art Harmony XL PRO technology. Our Long-Pulsed Nd:YAG handpiece allows us to target even the most difficult spider veins. During your private consultation, we will develop a customized plan based on your unique needs and goals for laser vein treatment.

At Flawless Salon and Medical Spa, our technicians are trained in sophisticated treatments to deal with your aesthetic imperfections, such as the visibility of undesirable veins and birthmarks. Our laser vein removal treatment gives you a variety of benefits, including:

• No need to wear compression garments
• Reduced appearance of obvious vascular lesions
• Improved general look and wellness
• Alleviation from swelling and soreness
• Customized treatment plans

Nonsurgical vein removal and lesion removal treatments at Flawless Salon and Medical Spa may help the look of small or mid-sized veins on the body and face. Frequently called spider veins, these visible blood vessels are typically not a medical issue; however, they are considered unwanted. Affected people tend to avoid certain clothes (such as shorts and swimsuits) or use a large amount of cosmetics to try to hide these veins. Laser vein and lesion removal treatments are best for people who are in generally good health, don't have blood clots, and are not pregnant.

Laser vein sessions are completed in our Butte, MT office in about 20 – 40 minutes, based on the number of areas treated. During your laser vein and lesion removal procedure, you will be asked to lay comfortably in one of our treatment rooms as the affected area is cleansed and prepared. If requested, a topical numbing cream can be applied before your treatment to minimize any discomfort. The laser is passed across the skin so the wavelengths can reach the veins with multiple pulses that don't affect the skin. The blood vessel absorbs the energy of the laser, which collapses the walls of the veins. You will be able to leave immediately to get back to your regular activities.

How much does laser vein removal cost?

The cost of laser vein removal with Harmony XL PRO depends on the number of veins we treat and how many sessions you need for optimal results. During your initial consultation, one of our certified providers will assess your veins. They will look at the size and location, then create your treatment plan to estimate your cost. Our group accepts several payment options, and at times, we offer deals on laser vein removal.

Should I get laser vein removal or sclerotherapy?

Treatment with laser vein removal can help veins of all types and sizes. Based on your goals, laser treatments may work better than sclerotherapy. Laser therapy is excellent for most spider veins due to our revolutionary Long-Pulsed Nd:YAG handpiece. However, if you have certain types, you might get better results from sclerotherapy, which treats the vein by injecting a special solution. We will help you select the best treatment option based on your needs and goals.

Does the vein go away?

Laser vein removal treats the vein with a beam of light. The laser is precise and focuses on the vein so it won't affect the nearby skin. When the vein collapses, it takes around 4 – 6 weeks for the vein to reabsorb and fade away.

Where can laser vein removal be used?

Noticeable veins may appear on your face, upper thighs, lower legs, and around the ankles. Anywhere a spider vein exists, laser vein removal may reduce the appearance. 

Is laser vein removal painful?

Often, patients feel a mild tingling or snap when we aim the laser at the vein. Most lasers, like ours, have a built-in feature that produces a cooling effect. This decreases discomfort while also preventing the laser from getting too hot, resulting in a burn or additional damage.
