How Does Laser Vein Removal Work?
At Hilinski Medspa, we use a state-of-the-art long-pulsed YAG laser to treat a variety of vascular skin concerns. The laser’s energy is absorbed by hemoglobin–the red pigment found in blood–causing the targeted vein to heat up and collapse. Over time, the treated vein becomes less visible, allowing your skin to regain a more even tone and texture.
Conditions Treated with Laser Vein Removal
Our laser vein treatment is ideal for reducing the appearance of:
- Spider veins
- Telangiectasias (small, dilated blood vessels near the surface of the skin)
- Facial veins
- Leg veins
- Rosacea-related redness
By targeting these problematic veins, laser vein removal can restore a smoother, more youthful complexion.
What Skin Types Can Be Treated?
Thanks to the advanced technology of the long-pulse YAG laser, we can treat a wide range of skin types safely and effectively. Whether you have lighter or darker skin, laser vein removal can provide significant cosmetic improvements.
What to Expect During Laser Vein Treatment
Laser vein treatment is a fast, minimally invasive procedure that typically lasts between 20 and 30 minutes. Most patients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. While the treatment is well-tolerated by the majority of patients, topical numbing agents can be applied to ensure comfort.
After the procedure, some patients may experience mild redness and swelling in the treated area, but this usually resolves within a few days. If you notice scabbing, avoid picking at it and apply a soothing emollient like Aquaphor to aid in healing.

How Many Laser Vein Treatments Will I Need?
In many cases, a single laser vein treatment session is sufficient to significantly reduce the appearance of veins. However, some patients may require additional treatments to achieve optimal results, especially for larger or more stubborn veins. During your consultation, Dr. Hilinski will assess your specific condition and create a customized treatment plan based on your goals.
