Laser Vein Closure
Laser vein closure, also known as laser photocoagulation, is a safe and effective method for reducing visible vessels on the skin, such as spider veins or dilated blood vessels. It is a popular procedure in the field of aesthetic medicine that helps improve the appearance of the skin and restore its balance.
How does laser vein closure work?
During the laser vein closure procedure, a directed beam of laser light is absorbed by the hemoglobin in the blood vessels. This causes energy to concentrate inside the vessel and close it off. The closed vessel gradually gets absorbed, reducing its visibility on the skin.
Benefits of the procedure:
Procedure cost: Starting from 300 PLN
(depends on the quantity and extent of the changes)
Procedure duration: 30-60 minutes, depending on the number of changes.
Anesthesia: Not required.
Recovery: 1-3 days
Here are the absolute and relative contraindications for laser vein closure (telangiectasias):

Consultation: Before undergoing the procedure, a consultation with a specialist doctor is conducted to assess your needs, medical history, and recommend the appropriate procedure.
Preparation: Prior to the procedure, the skin is cleansed, and a numbing cream may be applied depending on the doctor’s recommendations.
Procedure: The doctor performs the procedure by applying the laser beam to individual blood vessels. Patients typically experience only mild pricking sensations or a warm feeling.

Laser vein closure treatment helps reduce the visibility of spider veins and other telangiectasias. You can expect an improvement in the appearance of your skin, and the veins will become less visible or disappear completely. The results may vary depending on individual factors.
The procedure is usually well-tolerated, and most patients experience only minimal discomfort. Local anesthesia is applied before the procedure to minimize any potential discomfort. You may only feel slight tingling or a sensation of pricking.
The duration of the procedure depends on the area being treated for laser vein closure. Typically, it takes around 30 minutes to 1 hour. However, the time may vary depending on individual needs and the extent of the treated area.
After the procedure, it is recommended to avoid hot baths, saunas, and intense physical exertion for a few days. However, you can return to your daily activities immediately after the treatment.
Laser vein closure treatment is generally safe, but like any medical procedure, there is a certain risk of complications. The most common side effects include redness, swelling, or minor bruising at the treated site. However, serious and long-lasting complications are rare.
The effects of the procedure are usually long-lasting, but in some cases, it may be necessary to repeat the treatment to maintain or further improve the results. Your doctor will assess your individual situation and recommend the appropriate number of sessions based on your needs.
Please note that the above questions and answers are just examples. Detailed information about the procedure should be available on the aesthetic medicine or phlebology clinic’s website, along with contact information for patients to consult with a physician for additional questions or concerns.
Laser vein closure treatment helps reduce the visibility of veins, spider veins, and other skin lesions. After the procedure, the skin appears more even, and vascular defects become less visible, enhancing the overall appearance of the skin.
The recovery time after laser vein closure treatment is usually relatively short. You may experience redness, swelling, or minor bruising at the treated site, which typically resolves within a few days to a few weeks.
After the procedure, it is recommended to avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen to protect the skin. The doctor may also recommend applying mild creams or ointments to the treated area to aid in healing.
The effects of the procedure may be visible immediately, but full results can be seen after a few weeks when the skin heals and any signs of swelling or redness subside.
Laser vein closure treatment usually has long-lasting results. However, there is a possibility of new vascular changes appearing in the future, so regular follow-up visits with a doctor may be recommended to maintain the effects of the procedure.
Please note that the answers to these questions may vary depending on individual factors and the recommendations of the physician. It is important to consult with an experienced aesthetic medicine or phlebology specialist before undergoing the procedure to obtain comprehensive information and answers to all your questions.
