Spider Vein Treatment in Kerrville, TX

Dr. Elizabeth McRae performs vein treatment for residents of Kerrville, Texas.

What Is Spider Vein Treatment?

Laser spider vein treatment is a procedure that uses a light beam targeted on unsightly blue, red, and purple veins visible on your feet, legs, or elsewhere on your body. The laser seals off the vein and dissolves them without harming any of the surrounding tissue. Laser vein treatment is a safe and non-invasive way to eliminate spider veins, returning your skin to its clear and youthful appearance.

How Is Spider Vein Treatment Performed?

Laser vein treatment is performed by targeting a laser light beam through your skin and onto the unwanted vein. The laser is set specifically to target the pigments red, purple, and blue, so nothing but the unwanted vein is affected.

The laser seals off the vein, then is used to dissolve what’s left of it. Spider veins can be removed from anywhere on your body but are most commonly found or most noticeable on the legs and feet as we age. The laser is safe and the procedure is virtually painless as we use a topical anesthetic on the areas being treated. A slight tingling may be felt but otherwise this is a very comfortable procedure and lasts no longer than twenty minutes.
