Vein Laser treatment
The most popular treatments at Albany Laser are for broken capillaries (small vessels, generally found on the face) or spider veins (small-medium sized typically found along the legs).
Albany Laser treats spider and facial veins with the gold standard Nd-YAG laser. Laser treatments typically last 15 to 25 minutes. In most cases, up to four treatments are required to eradicate spider veins in the legs or on the face. There is minimal downtime, so you may resume your typical activities immediately following treatment.
How Vein Laser Therapy Works
The laser coagulates the blood in the blood vessel, crushing the targeted vein. After that, the body heals the wound and absorbs the coagulated blood vessel.
During the treatment, our cutting-edge integrated cooling handpiece protects the surrounding skin. We improve the comfort and safety of the therapy by chilling the treated skin.

How does Vein Laser Therapy work?
Laser radiation is focused on the veins, causing them to collapse and, ideally, to disappear. Bruising is common in laser-treated areas and can linger for many weeks. Lasers are particularly well-suited to treating tiny spider veins when a needle cannot be used due to their size.
Other vascular flaws treated with the Nd-Yag laser at Albany Laser include:
- Telangiectasia: These are thin red lines visible on the skin’s surface. These are most typically found near the nose and cheeks.
- Cherry angiomas: are a collection of dilated capillaries that resemble elevated moles but are red or ruby in color.
