Laser Vein and Hyperpigmentation Treatment in Carrollton, TX

Spider veins, hyperpigmentation, and acne are common skin concerns affecting women throughout the North Dallas area. Frequently found on the face and legs, spider veins are small, branching blood vessels that are visible through the skin and may be caused by age, genetics, or other factors. Hyperpigmentation refers to discoloration of the skin and may affect any area of the body. Patients who find these skin blemishes or persistent acne to be bothersome may be good candidates for laser vein and hyperpigmentation treatments from medical director Dr. Anam Tharoo.

Laser vein reduction sessions at MedSuite at Castle Hills may help the look of small to medium-sized blood vessels on the body and face. Commonly called spider veins, these blood vessels are not usually a medical problem, but they are considered a cosmetic problem. Many people avoid certain clothes (such as shorts and swimsuits) or use a large amount of makeup to attempt to hide their spider veins. Laser vein removal is a good option for patients who are in generally good health, do not have blood clots, and are not pregnant.

Hyperpigmentation can be caused by a variety of factors including hormonal changes, pregnancy, aging, and more. It can also affect the skin in multiple ways. Typical candidates for hyperpigmentation treatments include those who are in good overall health and have:

• Age spots
• Sun damage and sun spots
• Unwanted freckles
• Patches of darker, discolored skin (melasma)
• Uneven skin tone

Nonsurgical laser vein and pigmentation reduction treatments are performed in a private treatment room at our facility. These procedures only take about 20 – 40 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated, and generally require little to no downtime. Pulsed light energy from our Viora V30 laser will pass into the blood vessels, pigmented areas, or acne blemishes, diminishing their presence from within and helping to generate a clearer complexion for your skin. Dr. Tharoo can help you determine the number of visits needed to meet your needs, which may consist of 1 – 3 treatments scheduled 4 – 6 weeks apart. Follow-up sessions may be desired to achieve and maintain optimal results.

Where can laser vein and hyperpigmentation removal be used?
Visible veins are often found on the face, upper thighs, lower legs, and near the ankles, while hyperpigmentation can be found almost anywhere on the skin. For areas on both the face and body, laser vein or hyperpigmentation removal may be an appropriate treatment method. Our advanced laser system works with precision as it targets the selected vein or skin so the surrounding area is unaffected.

Is laser vein or hyperpigmentation removal painful?
Before the procedure, we may put on an ointment or local anesthetic to numb the treatment area. Most patients feel a slight snap or tingling sensation when the laser focuses on the target. Many laser systems, including the one our practice uses, are equipped with a built-in system that helps produce a cooling effect. This reduces discomfort while also preventing the laser from becoming too hot, which may cause damage to the area.

Does the vein go away?
Laser vein removal treats the vein with a beam of light that affects the vein and then destroys it. The technology is very precise and is focused on the target area, so it will not damage the nearby skin. After the vein collapses, it will take about 4 – 6 weeks for it to be reabsorbed by the body and disappear.
