How a Laser Vein Treatment in Wayzata Can Clear Your Skin and Renew Your Confidence

We all have certain aspects of our appearance that we’re a little sensitive about or more aware of. One of the most common skin concerns our patients visit us seeking to treat is the appearance of spider veins. These concerns can be caused from anything from genetics and aging, to weight gain and skin trauma. Unfortunately, they cannot be corrected easily from at-home or topical products, but they can be reduced with our laser vein treatment in Wayzata.

At Vively, we can correct spider vein issues and more with ClearV. Vively Body Science is a physician-owned medical spa in Wayzata, Minnesota. We serve clients from all over the Twin Cities area and its western suburbs. Below, our team discusses what issues this service treats, its benefits and treatment process, and frequently asked questions about ClearV. 

To get an idea of how these two treatments target this skin concern and others, let’s look more in depth at spider veins. 

Spider Vein Causes 

Spider veins can appear in a few areas of the body, predominantly on the legs and face. When you have spider veins in the legs, these occur when the vein valves stop working correctly. The purpose of veins in the body is to carry blood through to your heart. To ensure that blood flows upward towards the heart, veins have a one-way valve. This valve will close when the blood passes through. 

If the valve gets weak or is damaged, blood can struggle to flow through properly in the right direction. The blood can pool in the vein, and over time, it causes a bulge in the vein branching out, creating spider veins. 

Spider veins in the face can be genetic, or damaged (dilated or engorged) due to a variety of reasons. This can include sun exposure, flushing, exercise, irritants or trauma, among other things. This is often a result of increased pressure (trauma) or sun damage.   

Several factors can contribute to your risk of developing spider veins. One of the most common risk factors is genetics. In fact, 90% of those with spider veins have a family history of them.

Other factors include:

  • Pregnancy 
  • Being female
  • Age
  • Being overweight
  • Hormone levels
  • Standing and sitting for long periods
  • Previous vein issues or blood clots
  • Pressure in the face from excess coughing, sneezing, vomiting, etc.
  • Sun damage

How To Treat Spider Veins | Laser Vein Treatment in Wayzata

Laser vein treatments can help to treat vascular issues and chromophores (the molecules that produce the color in skin) to correct cosmetic issues and give you the clear skin you deserve. Let’s discuss how our ClearV and ClearSilk treatments can renew your skin and your confidence.

The Technology Behind ClearV

1064 Wavelength

The 1064nm wavelength in ClearV’s technology has strong absorption by oxyhemoglobin. This provides ClearV with the ability to selectively heat veins to eliminate them while making vessels less noticeable.

Subsurface Vein Illumination (SVI™)

SVI: this technology is created to give enhanced visibility to your laser vein treatment provider, a Vively team member! We use this visibility to better see any subsurface and feeder veins, creating more thorough and effective results.

Laser Vein Treatment in Wayzata: How It Works

Consultation/Determine Your Treatment

Before your ClearV treatment, you’ll meet with a team member vein specialist to discuss your concerns and treatment goals. In this complimentary consultation, we’ll discuss how ClearV can help and examine the areas of your body you’d like to treat. We will determine if this treatment is right for you. 

Based on your ClearV consultation, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan that reflects your desired results. 

Procedure

During your laser vein treatment, we will use the ClearV to target unwanted visible spider veins and/or unwanted vascular skin issues and reduce or eliminate them. You may see improvement after one procedure, though typically our patients see the best results after 3 to 6 treatments.

Aftercare

For optimal results, we advise that you limit activity and minimize the amount of time standing for the first 48 hours after your procedure. We also recommend that you wear compression socks or another form of compression (such as an ACE wrap) while your treatment area(s) resolve.
