Laser Treatment
for Facial Veins
in New Jersey

Laser treatment for spider veins on the face uses focused light energy to target and heat the blood vessels beneath the skin. The laser selectively destroys the veins, causing them to collapse and eventually be absorbed by the body. This non-invasive method effectively reduces the appearance of spider veins, broken capillaries, and other facial vascular concerns. The surrounding skin remains unaffected, making it a safe and precise solution for visible veins.

Yes, laser treatment for facial veins is a safe and effective procedure when performed by a trained professional like Dr. El-Attar. Whether you’re looking for a treatment for spider veins on the face or varicose veins, the procedure uses a focused laser beam, which is absorbed by the blood vessels, causing them to shrink and fade. 

Since the procedure doesn’t involve any incisions or injections, it carries very little risk, and most patients experience only minor, temporary side effects like redness or swelling, which go away in a few days.

You may experience redness or swelling around the treated area, which typically subsides within 24 to 48 hours. In 5 to 7 days, the veins may darken, a normal part of the healing process, and will gradually fade over the next few weeks.

• Avoid sun exposure: Protect the treated area with sunscreen or a wide-brimmed hat, especially during the first few days.
• Refrain from vigorous exercise: Avoid strenuous activities for at least 48 hours, as they can prolong swelling and redness.
• Use cold compresses if needed: Apply a cold compress wrapped in a cloth to reduce swelling.
• Avoid hot showers or baths: Stay away from hot water, saunas, and steam rooms for the first 48 hours to prevent further swelling.
• Moisturize gently: Use a gentle, non-irritating moisturizer to soothe and hydrate the skin.

If you’re in good overall health and don’t have major skin conditions, you’re likely a good candidate. However, this procedure may not be recommended if you are pregnant or breastfeeding or have certain skin conditions. It’s best to consult with Dr. El-Attar to confirm your eligibility.

During a laser facial vein treatment, the technician will use a handheld laser device to target the veins on your face. The laser emits light that penetrates the skin to treat the affected veins without harming the surrounding tissue. Some mild discomfort, such as a slight tingling or warming sensation, is normal but generally tolerable. Each session typically lasts 15-30 minutes, depending on the area being treated. It’s a quick, non-invasive procedure that requires no downtime, and patients can usually return to their normal routine on the same day. 

For most patients, laser treatment for spider veins on the face usually requires three treatments to see noticeable results. The number of sessions needed can vary based on the size and severity of the veins, as well as your skin type. These treatments are spaced approximately 4 to 6 weeks apart, and results typically become more visible as the treatments progress, with veins gradually fading and the skin becoming clearer. 

The treated veins are usually permanently gone, but new veins can appear due to factors like genetics, aging, or hormonal changes. Results typically last for a year or more, and with proper skin care and preventive measures, the longevity of the results can be extended. For continued results, some individuals may opt for occasional maintenance sessions.

This treatment is designed for people with lighter skin tones. It’s important to consult with Dr. El-Attar, as he will assess your skin type and recommend the best treatment for your needs to ensure both safety and optimal results.
