Facial & Leg Veins

Effective Vascular Treatment

Say Goodbye to Facial Thread Veins & Leg Veins with Advanced Laser Technology

Unsightly red veins, spider veins, or broken capillaries on the face and legs can be frustrating and difficult to cover up. At our clinic, we use the Candela Nordlys system, combining IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and Nd:YAG laser technology to effectively treat vascular lesions, thread veins, and spider veins safely and effectively.

Whether you’re dealing with facial redness, visible veins on the legs, or stubborn spider veins, our non-invasive laser treatments offer a fast, effective, and long-lasting solution with minimal discomfort and no downtime.

What Are Thread Veins & Why Do They Occur?

Thread veins, also known as spider veins or broken capillaries, are tiny blood vessels that become dilated or broken, appearing close to the surface of the skin. They can develop on the face, legs, and other areas of the body.

Common Causes of Thread Veins:

✔ Genetics – A family history of thread veins increases the risk.
✔ Sun Exposure – UV rays weaken blood vessels over time.
✔ Aging – Skin becomes thinner, making veins more visible.
✔ Hormonal Changes – Pregnancy, menopause, and birth control pills can trigger vein formation.
✔ Prolonged Standing or Sitting – Causes increased pressure in the veins, particularly in the legs.
✔ Extreme Temperatures – Hot showers, cold weather, or strong winds can cause capillaries to break.
✔ Lifestyle Factors – Smoking, alcohol, and lack of exercise can contribute to poor circulation.

How We Treat Facial & Leg Veins with Candela Nordlys IPL & Nd:YAG Laser

We use the Candela Nordlys system, an advanced FDA-approved laser and IPL platform, to precisely target and remove unwanted veins without damaging surrounding skin.

Dual Approach for Best Results:

🔹 IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) for Facial Thread Veins:
✔ Best for superficial veins & redness (rosacea, broken capillaries, facial flushing).
✔ Uses targeted light energy to break down visible veins and diffuse redness.
✔ Veins collapse and are naturally absorbed by the body over time.

🔹 Nd:YAG Laser for Deeper Leg Veins:
✔ Best for larger, deeper veins on the legs and body.
✔ Uses a longer wavelength to penetrate deeper vessels, sealing them off permanently.
✔ Veins fade gradually over a few weeks to months.

What Areas Can Be Treated?

✅ Face: Broken capillaries, spider veins, rosacea-related redness.
✅ Nose & Cheeks: Common areas for thread veins due to sun damage & genetics.
✅ Legs & Thighs: Superficial and deeper veins, including spider veins.
✅ Décolletage & Chest: Poikiloderma and sun-induced vascular damage.
✅ Hands: Visible aging-related veins and redness.

Treatment Program & Frequency

📅 Recommended Course:

• 2–4 sessions per area, depending on vein severity.
• Sessions are spaced 4–6 weeks apart to allow the body to absorb the treated veins.

📅 Maintenance Treatments:

• For ongoing improvement, yearly touch-ups may be beneficial, especially for those prone to new vein development.

💡 Combination therapy with skincare, sun protection, and lifestyle changes can enhance long-term results.

What to Expect During & After Treatment

How Does IPL/Nd:YAG Laser Feel?

✔ Mild warmth or a quick snapping sensation, similar to a rubber band flick.
✔ The Candela Nordlys cooling system enhances comfort and minimizes irritation.
✔ Nd:YAG for leg veins may feel slightly more intense but is still well tolerated.

What Happens After the Treatment?

✔ Mild redness and slight swelling may appear but typically fades within 24-48 hours.
✔ Veins may darken and fade over 1-4 weeks as the body naturally absorbs them.
✔ Some mild bruising can occur, particularly on the legs.
✔ No downtime – resume daily activities immediately, avoiding high heat and direct sun.

When Will I See Results?

📅 After 1 session: Initial fading of smaller veins.
📅 After 2–3 sessions: Significant reduction in visible veins and redness.
📅 After a full course: Most veins will be completely removed or dramatically reduced.
📅 Long-term: New veins can develop over time, so maintenance treatments may be needed.

Is IPL & Nd:YAG Laser Treatment Safe?

✅ FDA & CE Approved – Proven to be safe and effective for vascular concerns.
✅ Minimal Side Effects – Some redness or mild swelling, but no downtime.
✅ Safe for Fitzpatrick Skin Types I-III – Best results for lighter skin tones with visible veins.
✅ Performed by Trained Experts – Treatments are conducted by qualified laser specialists.

⚠️ Who is NOT suitable for IPL/Nd:YAG vein treatment?

• Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals.
• Those with deep varicose veins (may require medical treatment).
• Clients with blood clotting disorders or recent vein surgery.
• People taking blood thinners or photosensitizing medications.

How to Prevent Thread Veins from Returning

✔ Wear SPF 30+ daily – Prevents sun damage that weakens capillaries.
✔ Avoid extreme temperature changes – Protect skin from hot showers, wind, and extreme cold.
✔ Stay active – Regular exercise improves circulation and reduces vein formation.
✔ Avoid prolonged standing/sitting – Elevate legs and move frequently if working long hours.
✔ Limit alcohol & smoking – Both contribute to weakened blood vessels.
✔ Use targeted skincare – Vitamin C, retinol, and anti-inflammatory ingredients help strengthen the skin barrier.
