Discover Effective Vein and Vascular Treatments in Lafayette
Millions of women and men suffer from vascular lesions. These harmless lesions are blood vessels that are visible through the skin, casting blue, red, or purplish hues and often look like webs. Factors like your age, genetics, lifestyle, and diet may cause vascular lesions to appear. Spider veins can also be caused by sunlight, hormonal changes, like pregnancy, or an injury.
No one wants their unsightly blemishes to be seen, yet so often they appear on very visible areas including your face, cheeks, chin, nose, ankles, knees, and legs. If this sounds like you, youbaby Skin Spa has a long-lasting solution to help you achieve blemish-free beautiful healthy-looking skin.
Say goodbye to unsightly veins and spots, and hello to a beautiful, confident appearance.
Vascular lesions can be easily eliminated with laser technology.
youbaby Skin Spa eliminates vascular lesions.
Elimination of unsightly vascular lesions, commonly referred to as spider veins, with laser treatment is a non-invasive, fast and effective treatment to target unwanted blue, red and purple lesions while sparing the surrounding skin. At youbaby Skin Spa, we use a specialized laser that treats a variety of vascular lesions, including spider veins safely and comfortably. You no longer need to live with unsightly veins anywhere on your face and body.
Achieve clearly beautiful, spot-less skin.
How does the treatment work? The NdYag Alexandrite laser uses long wavelength light energy to target the visible blue, purple, and red colors of vascular lesions. The laser light is converted into heat energy and absorbed only by the cells it targets leaving the surrounding tissue undamaged. The energy pulses cause the blood in the vein to coagulate which helps to destroy the vein. Once the vein is destroyed it is absorbed by the body and the blood is redirected through other veins.
What does it treat? Vascular lesion treatments work on fine telangiectasias, facial veins, spider veins and small angiomas.
What is the treatment like? The treatment is a virtually painless, in-office treatment tolerated well with little to no discomfort, enhanced by a super-cooled treatment tip that is in contact with the skin throughout the session.
How long does the treatment take? Treatment time varies based on the area of treatment – most patients are treated within 15 – 20 minutes however some treatments may take 30 minutes or longer.
What can I expect following treatment? Small spider veins may disappear immediately after treatment. Larger spider veins will darken, and it may be 1 to 3 months before they disappear.
- Apply cold compresses or chilled gel-packs to treatment area.
- You can return to work and your normal activities the next day.
- After each treatment, some patients need to wear compression stockings for a short time.
- You will need to protect the treated area from the sun for 3 to 4 weeks. Protecting your skin from the sun throughout the year helps to prevent new spider veins.
What about possible reactions? Normal reactions include redness, swelling, bruising and a hive-like appearance. Crusting may occur on leg veins and will slough off naturally. Hemosiderin staining is uncommon but may occur (in leg veins) and usually resolves in 3 to 6 months.
How many treatments will I need? Most patients require only one to two treatment sessions. The number of treatments will vary based on your concern. To get complete clearing, you may need 3 or more treatments. Retreatment of the vessels is not recommended for 4 to 6 weeks. Large reticular vessels may take longer to resolve and should not be retreated for 2 to 3 months.
