The first step with vein removal is to attend a private consultation with Dr. Block-Wheeler and his team of skilled providers in San Francisco. During this first session, we will discuss your goals and determine the best approach to achieving the look you desire. The doctor will review your medical history and answer all your questions in depth. You will better understand the risks, downtime, costs, and other details associated with vein removal. It is important to be open and honest with our team when disclosing your medical history, allergies, current medications, and pre-existing conditions, as this will help to reduce the overall risks of complications. Once you have been approved for the treatment, we will schedule your appointment and provide you with a few guidelines to follow before your visit.
When you arrive at The Block-Wheeler Clinic in San Francisco, you will be greeted and escorted to a comfortable treatment room, where we will briefly review your care plan and go over any last-minute details. Laser vein removal is non-invasive and typically does not require a topical anesthetic. An Nd: YAG laser or intense pulsed light will deliver quick light pulses directed at the vascular lesions or areas of pigmentation. You may feel a brief sensation of warmth with each light pulse. Our state-of-the-art technology includes a cooling mechanism that keeps your skin comfortable throughout your appointment.
After vein removal, you will be able to resume your normal activities right away. There is no downtime or recovery period. You may notice some redness or darkening of the pigment immediately after your session. Rest assured, this is normal, and the symptoms will fade within a few hours or by the next day. Over the course of 7 to 14 days, pigmented areas will first darken and then disappear. Within 3 to 4 weeks after your appointment, you will notice an overall improvement in your skin’s tone, texture, and clarity.
