The cardiovascular system is an incredible and complex network that keeps us alive and well. Day in and day out, the heart works hard to push blood through our veins and towards our organs.
Over time, however, the constant transportation of blood can take its toll, causing spider veins or varicose veins. You may notice these prominent veins appearing and even protruding beneath the skin.
Laser vein removal is a procedure to remove, or at least reduce the visibility of spider veins.

What is Laser Vein Removal?
Laser vein removal is a non-invasive procedure to remove or lessen the visibility of spider veins or varicose veins. The laser can safely treat veins on the face and legs.
Treatment Procedure
At Guelph Medical Laser, we use the Fotona ND Yag Laser to perform laser vein removal. First, we will ask you to put on special eyewear to protect your vision from the light of the laser.
It is normal to experience moderate discomfort throughout the procedure. Not to worry, we use a Zimmer cooling tool to soothe the skin during the treatment. The procedure takes between 15-30 minutes depending on the complexity of the vein removal.
2 months following the procedure, you will see the full results of the vein removal. It can take up to 4 laser treatments to achieve an ideal outcome.
At Guelph Medical Laser, we work with you to develop a treatment plan that best suits you.
