Laser Vein Treatment in Venice, FL
What Is Laser Vein Treatment?
Laser vein treatment is a gentle, non-surgical way to improve the appearance of small, visible veins that can show through the skin. These veins often look red, blue, or purple and may appear on the face, legs, or other areas. They form when tiny blood vessels weaken or expand, becoming more noticeable over time.
At REJUVA Dermatology in Venice, FL, we use focused laser light to carefully heat and close the targeted vein. Once sealed, the vein slowly fades as your body naturally absorbs it. The laser precisely targets only the unwanted veins, keeping the surrounding skin safe and intact. This treatment is a great choice for anyone who wants clearer, smoother-looking skin without surgery or a long recovery. It’s quick, safe, and performed in our clinic by skilled dermatology professionals dedicated to your comfort and care.
Who Is Best for This Treatment?
Laser vein treatment is ideal for people who want to reduce the look of small or medium-sized veins, such as spider veins or light varicose veins. It may be a good option if you:
You may be a good candidate for LLLT if you:
- Have visible red, blue, or purple veins on the face or legs
- Avoid wearing shorts, skirts, or short sleeves because of visible veins
- Prefer a treatment that doesn’t require needles or a long recovery
- Are in good health and have realistic expectations
Laser therapy works best on surface-level veins. If your veins are larger or deeper, your dermatologist may recommend other options, such as sclerotherapy. During your consultation, our team will assess your skin and veins, then create a personalized plan to meet your needs and goals.
What Is the Downtime?
One of the biggest advantages of Laser Vein Treatment is that there’s little to no downtime. Most patients return to work, errands, or other daily activities right after their appointment. After treatment, you might notice mild redness, warmth, or slight swelling in the treated area.
These effects are temporary and usually disappear within a day or two. Some veins may look darker before they fade completely—this is normal and part of the body’s healing process. To help your skin recover, your dermatologist may recommend avoiding direct sunlight for a few days and applying sunscreen regularly. Simple aftercare steps like these help protect your skin and support faster healing.
How Long Do Results Last?
You might see initial results in a few weeks, but expect the full improvement to develop gradually over two to three months.
However, new veins can form over time due to genetics, aging, lifestyle habits, or standing for long periods. You can help prevent new veins by staying active, keeping a healthy weight, and avoiding sitting or standing for too long. If new veins do appear, additional sessions can be scheduled to maintain smooth, even-toned skin.
Side Effects
Laser Vein Treatment is very safe when done by trained professionals. Most side effects are minor and short-lived. Common ones may include:
- Mild redness or puffiness around the treated vein
- Temporary warmth or tenderness
- Slight darkening of the vein before it fades
- Mild dryness or flakiness in rare cases
These effects usually resolve within a few days. You’ll receive easy-to-follow aftercare instructions from your provider so your skin heals correctly and you achieve your optimal results.
When Can I Resume Normal Activities?
You can walk and move around immediately after your session. Most people return to their usual routine within 24 hours.
To help your skin recover smoothly, we suggest the following:
- Avoid heavy workouts or strenuous activity for the first 48 hours
- For the next few days, avoid any kind of extreme heat exposure, such as saunas or very hot baths.
- Apply sunscreen daily and avoid tanning
- Keep the treated area clean and well-moisturized
These simple steps encourage proper healing and help you see your results sooner.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the treatment hurt?
Most people describe the feeling as a quick, warm pulse or a light snapping sensation, similar to a rubber band. A cooling system is used during treatment to make you as comfortable as possible.
How long does each session take?
A session usually lasts 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the size and number of veins being treated.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies. Many patients see noticeable improvement after one or two treatments, while others may need a few more to achieve their ideal results.
Can I wear makeup after treating facial veins?
Yes. You can apply makeup the next day once any redness has faded. Use gentle, fragrance-free products and avoid rubbing or scrubbing the area.
Are the results permanent?
Treated veins are permanently closed and won’t return. However, new veins may develop later. Occasional maintenance treatments can help you keep your skin clear and even-toned.
Is it safe for all skin tones?

Yes. Many patients choose to combine vein treatment with other cosmetic options, such as microneedling or laser resurfacing. Your dermatologist can help you plan the safest and most effective order for your treatments.
What should I do before my appointment?
Avoid tanning or heavy sun exposure before your session. You may also need to pause certain skin products or medications if advised by your provider. Following these steps helps your treatment go smoothly and reduces any chance of irritation.
