SAY GOODBYE TO SPIDER VEINS, FOR GOODVisible veins on the legs or other parts of the body can often appear as a natural part of the aging process.

Men and women alike are making facial, and leg veins a thing of the past. With the most advanced technology, a unique design, and a longer wavelength, the Cynosure Elite+ system can safely and effectively treat both superficial facial veins and deeper blue leg veins on men and women of all skin tones. To learn more, reach out and set up your consultation.
WHEN TO CONSIDER LASER VEIN REMOVALMany of our patients come to us having noticed that small, thin veins are becoming visible just under the skin. This is most commonly seen in the face and legs and tends to start out as a relatively simple cosmetic concern. It’s best to address this concern early on as visible veins can eventually progress into varicose veins, which can sometimes be painful and uncomfortable.
We recommend scheduling a consultation to discuss whether or not laser vein removal is right for you if you’ve been feeling self-conscious about an increased number of visible veins in your face or legs. A member of the Rasha's Beauty Skin & Laser team will learn about your cosmetic goals and work with you to create a treatment plan that enables you to discover your ideal results.
