BROKEN VESSELS, BIRTHMARKS & REDNESS
This procedure is for clients who are concerned with unsightly veins or with having a “flushed look.” If you have broken blood vessels, rosacea, or a red-tone to your skin, then you are a good candidate for this procedure.
How much does it cost?
Vein and redness treatment pricing depends on the size of the area to be treated and the severity of the case.
$200 - $1200 for a single treatment.
Does it hurt?
You will feel a warm sensation with each pulse of light delivered to the skin. It feels like a warm zing of energy. Ice packs or topical anesthetics may be applied.
What is the downtime?
Immediately after the treatment, clients will feel a warm sensation and have a reddish tone to their skin, but can return to work the same day. Depending on the laser used, some clients may experience bruising. The doctor will let you know if he expects this before treatment. Cosmetics may be applied to conceal any bruising.
How many treatments will I need?
Depending on the severity of the case and response to treatment, some clients will need multiple treatments spaced one month apart. Yet, it is important to note that most clients achieve the greatest improvement during the first treatment to broken blood vessels and may only need one treatment session.
Medical note:
Clients should not take any medications that indicate “no prolonged sun exposure.”
Treatment cannot be administered if you are pregnant.
Certain medications will affect the outcome of your treatment.
Please notify the staff of all prescriptions prior to scheduling.
