Nd: YAG laser technology delivers a precise wavelength of light that penetrates the skin’s surface to target unwanted blood vessels. The laser heats and collapses these vessels without damaging the surrounding tissues, and over time, the treated veins are naturally absorbed by the body and fade away.
There are several benefits of Nd: YAG spider vein treatment, including precision targeting that protects the surrounding tissue. The laser reaches superficial and deep veins, which makes it ideal for leg and facial varicose veins.
Controlling the energy delivery with adjustable settings allows us to customize the Nd: YAG procedure for each varicose vein size and location to meet the needs of every patients at our Southlake office!
Nd: YAG treatment for spider veins is a quick, in-office procedure performed in our private, accredited facility in Southlake. To clear your spider veins, the process may require several sessions, which are usually spaced several weeks apart.
During the procedure, we will clean the area that needs treatment, and you will wear protective eyewear. We may use a cooling gel or device on the area to improve your comfort. Our esthetician will then pass the handheld Nd: YAG device over the targeted veins as it emits pulses of energy that coagulate the blood vessels.
Each session lasts 15–45 minutes, depending on the number and size of the veins that need treatment. Nd: YAG has several benefits: It is non-invasive and comes with minimal discomfort during the process, and provides a quick recovery period afterward. You likely can return to your daily activities immediately after treatment.
Although downtime is minimal, proper aftercare helps ensure your healing process goes smoothly and you achieve the best possible results! After the procedure, you will wear compression stockings to support healing and improve circulation if the treated veins are on your legs. You should avoid sun exposure for several weeks to prevent pigmentation changes. Mild redness or swelling may occur but usually subsides within hours to a few days after treatment.
Over the following weeks, the treated veins gradually fade. You may require follow-up sessions for complete clearance, especially when multiple spider veins are present.
At North Texas Plastic Surgery, our team understands the intricacies of vascular anatomy. Their technical expertise allows for precise energy delivery and minimizes risks, such as bruising or pigmentation changes. The advanced cooling system integrated into the laser device ensures comfort while protecting your skin. Our approach emphasizes customized treatment with comprehensive pre- and post-procedure care.
Nd: YAG laser treatment offers long-lasting improvements for treated veins. While new spider veins can form over time due to genetics or lifestyle factors, proper follow-up treatments and maintenance care can help you maintain smooth, vein-free skin.
