Laser Vein & Lesion Treatment in San Antonio, TX

How much does laser vein and lesion treatment cost?
A laser vein treatment is priced depending on how many veins are being addressed and the number of sessions that are suggested to achieve ideal results. When you have your initial consultation, our team will examine your veins along with the extent and location of them and create a personalized treatment process in order to establish your total cost. South Texas Family Medicine and Aesthetics offers numerous payment options and often provides deals on procedures such as laser vein removal.

Should I get laser vein and lesion treatment or sclerotherapy?
A laser vein and lesion treatment may help veins of all forms and sizes. Based on your veins, some treatments may be better than sclerotherapy, according to what is being treated. Laser therapy can work effectively for spider veins, but if you have certain types of spider veins, you might prefer sclerotherapy, which places a saline-based liquid into the spider vein to collapse it. Larger veins, such as varicose veins, generally respond well to laser vein therapy, but if the vein is large and bulging, surgery may be a better option. We will work with you to select your ideal treatment method, depending on your unique concerns and goals.

Does the vein go away?
Laser vein therapy will address the vein using a focused beam of energy that stimulates the affected vein and then obliterates it. The laser system is extremely precise and is highly focused just on the target area, so it won't harm the nearby areas of skin. After the vein has collapsed, it takes around 4 – 6 weeks for it to be flushed out of your body and vanish.

Where can laser vein and lesion treatment be used?
Unwanted spider veins and vascular lesions may be situated on your facial area, legs, and around your ankles. Anywhere a spider vein or vascular lesion exists, laser-based vein removal can be an ideal treatment technique.

Is laser vein treatment painful?
Before your treatment, a member of our staff will often apply a numbing gel to help you remain at ease. Most people feel a slight snapping sensation as the laser is aimed at the area. Many laser systems on the market, such as Harmony XL PRO, are complete with a built-in fan or cooling system that helps produce a comfortable effect. This reduces discomfort while also preventing the laser from overheating, as this could cause a wound or other damage to the area of the skin.
