Additional Facts

Who is a good candidate for Laser for Spider Veins?

- Overall healthy patients who desire treatment of spider veins, also known as telangiectasia

- Patients with varicose veins can benefit from surgery, sclerotherapy or endovenous LASER (EVLT)

What are Laser for Spider Veins contraindications?

We recommend avoiding the procedure in severe or uncontrolled systemic diseases, connective tissue disease, malignancy, unrealistic expectations, local skin pathology and pregnancy.

Note: A contraindication is a condition or factor that serves as a reason to withhold a certain medical treatment due to the harm that it would cause the patient.

How is this procedure performed?

- Local tumescence anesthesia is infiltrated into the treatment area

- The LASER probe is introduced into the target vein

- LASER produces heat causing collapse and obliteration of the veins which eventually fade away.

- Multiple treatments might be needed.

How long does the effect last?

The effect is expected to be permanent, however new veins can develop.

What should I expect during recovery?

- Recovery is fast after EVLT.

- Some redness, skin sensitivity and swelling can occur during recovery which last for a few hours to a few days.

- Avoid sun exposure and hot showers.

- Skin moisturizers are commonly used after EVLT.

Where is the scar?

There are no incisions or scars. However scarring is an uncommon complication that can occur after the procedure.

Massages help with the healing process

I go for lymphatic massages ever since I had a procedure done at the neighboring Akkary Surgery Center. I HIGHLY recommend anybody that has a procedure done to book several follow-up appointments at the Medspa with Ashley. She knows several techniques that are able to break up new and old scar tissue on the body. This not only helps with the healing process but also ensures that you maintain the results you expect! Could not recommend any higher!!

Improve the quality of your life!

The spa itself is a peaceful, tranquil atmosphere. Would LOVE to have regular services from both the massage therapist and esthetician. My massage therapist is very knowledgeable and experienced in massage therapy. Her work exudes confidence. She listens to my needs and addresses them by paying close attention to my muscles. I've experienced great relief from daily aggravating symptoms with improvement in my everyday activities. I will be recommending Skinsational to everyone looking to improve their quality of life!

I recommend the flotation therapy

If you have not tried it yet, I recommend the flotation therapy! I am not a huge fan of water. I hate swimming and pools, lakes, the ocean. But this was totally different. My fears were quickly remedied by the ability to float without fear of sinking! It was the most relaxed I have ever been in water. It felt like I was in there for maybe 15 minutes and it had been 50! Just try it!
