Laser Vein Treatment
Many women and men are self-conscious about unsightly spider veins – small clusters of tiny dark red, blue, or purple veins - on their legs or faces. These veins can be due to heredity, pregnancy, weight fluctuation or lifestyle factors, and they can be corrected either with injections or with lasers. Spider vein removal at the Peoria and Bloomington, Illinois offices of Dr. Jeffrey Poulter is accomplished safely and comfortably with injection treatments for the legs and facial spider veins are treated with the vascular laser in the Bloomington office.
During laser vein treatments, the energy from the laser targets the darkly colored vein, causing it to shrink and dissipate over time. Since only the defective vein absorbs the laser's energy, other tissue remains unaffected. For optimal improvement, several treatments spaced several weeks apart are usually necessary. The vascular laser can also be used to reduce facial bruising following facial injections or surgery.
