Laser Vascular and Pigmented Lesion Treatment in Denver, CO

Typically located on the face and upper thighs, spider veins are small, branching blood vessels that appear visible underneath the skin. Caused by many factors, like age, sun damage, and genetics, spider veins may look purple, red, and blue, making them hard to conceal. This treatment can also help with pigmented lesions, such as brown spots or age spots. To reduce the appearance of abnormal veins or pigmented lesions on the face and body, our Mountain Med Spa team in Denver, CO performs Harmony XL Pro laser vein removal treatments. During your private consultation, Dr. Rock Navarkal will develop a customized treatment plan that meets your needs and cosmetic goals.

Laser vascular treatment offers our patients a number of great benefits that help them feel more comfortable in their own skin, including:

• Pain-free, quick sessions
• Care that stays in the comfort of our office
• Trusted treatment by many professionals
• Increases your confidence in and enjoyment of your body

At Mountain Med Spa, laser vein reduction treatments may improve the appearance of small to medium-sized veins on the face and body and pigmented lesions. Many people tend to avoid certain clothing, like shorts and swimsuits, or use a large amount of concealer to hide spider veins or brown spots. If you feel embarrassed by the appearance of a pigmented lesion or spider vein, laser vein treatment could provide the results you desire. Laser vein reduction is great for people who are in good health, do not have blood clots, and aren't pregnant.

As an outpatient procedure, we complete appointments at our Denver, CO office in around 20 – 40 minutes. While you relax on a comfortable chair, we will clean your skin and if needed, apply a numbing cream. After preparing your skin, the laser is gently passed over the treatment area. This will encourage the blood vessel to soak in the energy of the laser and close the walls of the vein.

Right after your procedure, you may experience redness, bruising, and swelling. However, these side effects should subside in about 1 – 2 weeks. For faster healing, patients can wear compression garments to encourage the circulation of blood. Additionally, you should avoid excess sun exposure and frequently apply sunscreen to the treatment areas. Some patients see visible improvements right away, but results vary for each person. During your initial consultation with Dr. Navarkal, he will set realistic expectations and provide recommendations on how many follow-up appointments you may need. Over time, additional spider veins will likely develop so you may need to schedule touch-up appointments.

How much does laser vascular treatment cost?
Your laser vascular treatment will vary in cost based on how many veins are being treated and how many sessions are necessary to achieve optimal results. When you have your consult, we will assess your veins, the extent of them, and location, then create a customized treatment process to help establish a cost. Mountain Med Spa accepts multiple payment options and often offers specials on procedures like laser vein removal.

Should I get laser vascular treatment or sclerotherapy?
Treatment with laser vein removal is suitable to address veins of all kinds and sizes. Based on your situation, some treatments may work better than others according to what is being treated. Laser vein therapy may work effectively for certain veins; however, depending on your needs, you may get better results from sclerotherapy, which injects a sclerosing solution right into the spider vein to collapse it. Larger veins such as varicose veins respond well to laser-based vein removal; however, if the vein is large and bulging, surgery might be the best option. We will help you determine your best treatment method based on your needs and goals.

Does the vein go away?
Laser-based vein therapy will focus on the vein by emitting a concentrated beam of light that stimulates the spider vein and eradicates it. The technology is extremely meticulous and focuses just on the target vein — so it won't affect the surrounding skin. After the vein has collapsed, it takes around 4 – 6 weeks for the vein to be flushed out of your system and disappear.

Where can laser vascular treatment be used?
Visible veins can be located on the facial area, legs, back of the legs, and near your ankles. In most areas of the face and body, laser vein removal could be a good treatment option. Our innovative laser technology works with precision when treating the specific vein so that the tissue and skin around the veins are unaffected.

Is laser vein removal painful?
Prior to the session, we often put on a numbing agent to keep you at ease. Some patients feel a brief snapping sensation as the laser targets the vein. Many laser systems, including the one our practice uses, come with a special safety feature that helps produce a cooling sensation. This decreases discomfort while at the same time preventing the laser from overheating, as this may result in a burn or other harm to the treated area.
