SPIDER VEIN TREATMENT IN ROCHESTER, MI
WHAT IS VEIN THERAPY?
Vein therapy at LHR Skin and Vein Center is a non-invasive laser treatment that targets and eliminates the spider veins and broken capillaries that appear on the legs and face. Using the LightSheer Diode Laser — the same FDA-cleared laser used for permanent hair removal — Diana delivers precise light energy directly to the affected vessels.
The laser energy is absorbed by the hemoglobin in the blood within the vessel and converted to heat. This heat dissolves the cells that create the color in the vein and causes the vessel walls to collapse and shrink. The body then naturally reabsorbs the treated vessel over the following days and weeks. Vessels may disappear immediately after treatment or fade fully within 10 to 14 days.
The LightSheer’s ChillTip integrated cooling technology keeps the treatment comfortable throughout — the tip of the laser feels cool against the skin, protecting the surface while the energy works beneath it.
WHAT ARE SPIDER VEINS AND WHAT CAUSES THEM?
Spider veins — also called telangiectasias — are small, dilated blood vessels that appear close to the surface of the skin. They typically look like fine red, blue, or purple lines in a web-like or branching pattern. They most commonly appear on the legs, thighs, ankles, and face — particularly around the nose, cheeks, and chin.
They are caused by a variety of factors including genetics, prolonged standing, hormonal changes, pregnancy, sun exposure, aging, and certain medications. They are not dangerous but can cause significant self-consciousness — and for many people, eliminating them makes a meaningful difference in how they feel about their appearance.
WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR VEIN THERAPY?
Most adults with spider veins or small varicose veins on the legs or face are excellent candidates for laser vein therapy. At LHR Skin and Vein Center, because Every Body is Unique, Diana conducts a thorough consultation before recommending treatment — evaluating your veins, your skin tone, your medical history, and your goals to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for you specifically.
Vein therapy is particularly well suited for clients who have spider veins on the face or legs, broken capillaries around the nose or cheeks, redness associated with rosacea, and small to medium varicose veins close to the skin surface.
WHAT DOES VEIN THERAPY FEEL LIKE?
Vein therapy is generally very well tolerated. Most clients describe a mild pinch or tingling sensation during treatment — brief and manageable. The LightSheer’s ChillTip cooling technology significantly reduces discomfort by keeping the skin surface cool throughout the procedure. No numbing cream is required for most clients and there is no recovery period — most people return to their normal routine immediately after their appointment.
HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED?
The number of treatments varies based on the severity of the veins, the size of the treatment area, and your individual response to therapy. Some clients see dramatic improvement after just one session. Others with more extensive or stubborn veins may require multiple treatments spaced several weeks apart for optimal results.
Diana will give you a realistic assessment at your free consultation based on what she sees — no overpromising, no surprises. Because Every Body is Unique, your treatment plan will be built around your specific veins and your specific goals.
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER VEIN THERAPY
After your treatment you may experience mild redness, slight swelling, or temporary bruising in the treated area — all completely normal responses that typically resolve within a few days. Vessels may appear darker immediately after treatment before gradually fading over the following 1 to 2 weeks as the body reabsorbs them.
Patients are advised to wear compression stockings for two to three weeks following treatment to support healing, improve circulation, and maximize results. Sun protection on treated areas is also important during the healing period.
There is no significant downtime. Most clients leave their appointment and go straight back to work, errands, or their daily routine.
HOW LONG DOES A VEIN THERAPY SESSION TAKE?
A typical vein therapy session at LHR Skin and Vein Center lasts between 30 and 60 minutes depending on the number and size of the veins being treated. Diana works efficiently and precisely — ensuring every vessel in the treatment area is addressed without rushing the process.
