Vein Removal Q & A

What is vein removal?

Vein removal treatments eliminate the appearance of visible veins from your skin. Similar to sclerotherapy, vein removal uses energy instead of a chemical agent to make your targeted blood vessels close. This energy redirects blood through other nearby veins.

During vein removal, the team at CANJ Aesthetics directs a catheter into the vein you want to treat, using ultrasound guidance to avoid damaging it or any other tissues in the area. They thread an electrode that will emit radiofrequency or laser energy through the catheter.

Both laser energy and radiofrequency energy can heat the inside of the blood vessel. The energy burns the inside of the vein, which cauterizes and closes it. Over time, scar tissue grows around the closed vein to seal it permanently. 

What does vein removal treat?

Vein removal can treat two main types of visible veins that often appear in areas throughout the body. Both are especially common in the legs. You can discuss vein removal with the team at CANJ Aesthetics for:

Spider veins

Spider veins are tiny web-like veins appearing on the face, legs, and other areas of your body. They can show up because of increased pressure, sun damage, or faulty valves. 

Varicose veins

Varicose veins are similar to spider veins, but they are more prominent and usually bulging. Varicose veins typically appear on the legs because those veins work against gravity using a system of valves. When valves are faulty, blood tends to pool in the vein and cause it to expand.

What should I expect during vein removal treatments?

The team at CANJ Aesthetics lets you know what to expect during your consultation for vein removal. Each session takes around 45-60 minutes. Some veins respond extremely well to a single treatment and do not need further steps after that. However, larger varicose veins may require multiple sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. 

If you’re treating multiple veins with vein removal, you’ll likely need numerous sessions at CANJ Aesthetics. The team creates an individualized care plan according to the number of veins you want to treat and their sizes. 

After treating varicose veins with sclerotherapy, you’ll need to wear compression stockings for around two weeks. Compression stockings place pressure around your legs to increase upward blood flow.
