Vein & Vascular Lesion

Facial & Body Veins

Not all veins are created equal. At LIFT Medical we treat telangiectasias and reticular veins on the face and body. These vessels live in the intra and sub dermal layers of the skin. Telangiectasias and reticular veins affect up to 25% of the population. They are painless and flush to the skin, but they are unsightly.

Using light therapy (Nd-Yag or IPL) our registered nurses can selectively target these vessels. The light acts as a source of heat, which closes and shrinks the targeted vessel. Treatments are performed 6-12 weeks apart and the number of treatments needed for optimal clearance varies.

After my Treatment for leg veins

• Wear compression stockings.

• Do not drive 4 or more consecutive hours. Avoid flying for 7 days post treatment.

• Avoid crossing your legs while sitting.

• Maintain a healthy lifestyle that includes: maintaining a healthy weight and regular exercise.

• Swelling may be present in the area for up to 48 hours.

• Bruising or crusting of the skin may occur and last up to 7-10 days.

• Avoid sun exposure or diligently wear sun screen.

After my treatment for Facial veins

• Sun protection is a must. Continued sun exposure can cause additional broken capillary formation. Light therapy also increases your sensitivity to the sun.

• Avoid topical AHA, Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid or Retinoic Acid for 3-5 days.
