What Are Laser Vein Treatments?
Using laser technology to treat varicose veins or spider veins essentially involves sending light energy into the unwanted veins that heat and damages the tissue, which causes the vein to close and eventually be naturally removed by the body.
At Cosmetic Laser Dermatology, our board-certified dermatologists in San Diego are the leading authorities on non-invasive laser vein treatment. We use the latest technology to safely and effectively reduce the appearance of unwanted veins on all parts of the body. Our practice has a wide range of the most cutting-edge cosmetic lasers available for non-surgical vein treatments, which allows our doctors to create a custom treatment plan designed to suit each patient’s needs.

The Top Laser Treatments for Varicose and Spider Veins
Pulsed Dye Laser
Pulsed dye laser treatments offer a safe and extremely effective way to eliminate unwanted veins. Specifically, the pulsed dye laser vein treatment is a great treatment for removing small veins and redness. Pulsed dye technology delivers an intense but gentle burst of light into targeted areas of the skin. When the laser energy is applied to the skin it causes the proteins in the vein wall to coagulate. Results are gradual as the damaged vessels are then removed by the immune system over the next few weeks.
What Veins Can Pulsed Dye Laser Treat?
Pulsed dye laser treatments are a great non-surgical vein treatment for patients with spider veins on the face and chest.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Photofacial
An IPL photofacial works by transmitting a spectrum of light energy. This intense pulsed light treatment penetrates the skin tissue and is absorbed by the blood in the unwanted spider veins. One of the great benefits of the IPL photofacial is that the energy penetrates the wall of the vein without damaging or scarring the surrounding tissue. When receiving an IPL vein removal treatment, the energy is absorbed by the red pigment in the blood, heating the walls of the vein, causing injury, and as a result, shrinkage. Gradually, over a period of 4-6 weeks, the unwanted vein is re-absorbed by the body, leaving smooth, youthful, beautiful looking skin.
What Veins Can IPL Photofacial Treat?
IPL photofacial vein removal treatments are appropriate for treating facial veins, such as spider veins around the nose area.
CoolTouch Varia
The CoolTouch Varia laser uses a long-pulsed laser that emits a light wavelength that can specifically target an unwanted leg vein. As a result of the CoolTouch Varia treatment, the vein simply stops functioning and is gradually absorbed back into the body until it’s no longer visible. The main benefit of this non-surgical treatment is that it can remove unwanted veins without damaging the surrounding skin. The CoolTouch Varia is a safe and effective laser vein treatment that is great for all skin types.
What Veins Can CoolTouch Varia Treat?
The CoolTouch Varia vein removal treatment can be used to treat facial veins as well as varicose or spider veins in other parts of the body, such as the legs.
The Benefits of Laser Vein Removal
Customized Treatments: With the variety of lasers available for non-surgical vein treatments in San Diego, treatments can be customized to each person’s individual needs.
Virtually Painless: Not only is laser vein removal non-surgical, it’s also non-invasive with only mild discomfort around the treatment area during treatment. (Topical anesthetic is available, but generally not needed.)
Safe & Effective: When performed by the board-certified cosmetic dermatologists at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology, laser procedures are completely safe. Our team of cosmetic laser experts have years of experience and training with cosmetic lasers and a wide range of lasers to choose from, so patients will receive the customized care they need for the results they want.
Long-Lasting Results: The final results of laser vein removal are generally long lasting, especially when patients avoid direct sun exposure and make sure to wear sun protection every day.
No Down Time: There is little to no downtime necessary after a laser vein removal treatment and patients are encouraged to resume all normal daily activities. While the final results are gradual and may not be apparent for several months, most patients are satisfied with how effective the treatment can be for erasing unwanted varicose and spider veins.
