Laser Vein Treatments in San Diego

Laser Vein Treatments offer a non-invasive solution for those struggling with unsightly veins. Dr. Mark Mofid, a board-certified plastic surgeon in San Diego, specializes in non-invasive treatments for spider vein therapy and varicose vein removal, helping patients regain smooth, healthy-looking skin. Dr. Mofid is the trusted choice for vein treatments in San Diego, offering modern techniques and personalized care.

What Do Laser Vein Treatments Do?

Laser Vein Treatments use advanced laser energy to target and treat problematic veins, including spider veins and small varicose veins. The laser delivers focused heat to the vein, which causes it to collapse and eventually be absorbed by the body. This non-invasive procedure is performed in-office and requires minimal downtime, making it an excellent choice for busy individuals seeking fast, effective results. Laser therapy is designed to improve the appearance and symptoms of vascular concerns, offering both aesthetic and health benefits.

Benefits of Laser Vein Treatments

  • Minimally invasive procedure with little to no downtime
  • Quick treatment sessions (typically 30-45 minutes)
  • Excellent success rate for spider vein therapy
  • Long-lasting results
  • Improved confidence and comfort
  • No scarring
  • Relief from symptoms like aching and burning

Ideal Candidates

Ideal candidates for Laser Vein Treatments in San Diego include individuals who:

  • Are generally healthy and looking to address the appearance of spider or small varicose veins.
  • Experience mild to moderate symptoms of vein-related issues, such as aching or swelling.
  • Are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or undergoing treatment for other vascular conditions.

During your consultation, Dr. Mark Mofid also evaluates other medical and lifestyle factors to determine whether this procedure meets your needs.

What to Expect During Your Laser Vein Treatment

Laser energy will be applied over the skin’s surface to reduce the prominence or eliminate the appearance of spider veins, which commonly form on the legs and face. Patients typically experience slight discomfort during laser vein treatment, as though a small rubber band is snapping the treated area. However, no anesthetic is needed, and the procedure is not generally considered painful.

Recovering After Treatment

Note that the spider veins will be more visible immediately after laser vein treatment. Over the next several weeks, though, they will fade rapidly. Usually, Jessica Davis, RN, or Heather Tellis, RN, under the supervision of Dr. Mofid, need approximately three treatments to shrink the spider veins to the point at which they are no longer visible.

Cost

The cost of Laser Vein Treatments can vary depending on the size and number of veins being addressed and the number of sessions required. Patients can expect to pay between $300 and $600 per session. Dr. Mark Mofid’s team in San Diego will provide you with a detailed quote during your consultation and discuss payment options to fit your budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

The number of sessions required varies depending on the size and number of veins being treated. For optimal results, most patients need 2-4 sessions spaced 6-8 weeks apart. Your specific treatment plan will be determined based on your needs during your consultation.
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure, describing it as a slight pinching sensation. We use cooling techniques and topical numbing agents to ensure comfort throughout the treatment. Any mild discomfort typically subsides within a few hours after the procedure.
Recovery time is minimal, with most patients returning to normal activities immediately after treatment. You may experience some redness and mild swelling for 24-48 hours. To optimize results and promote healing, we recommend wearing compression stockings and avoiding strenuous exercise for a few days following the procedure.
While some improvement may be visible immediately, optimal results typically develop over 4-6 weeks as the body naturally absorbs the treated veins. More prominent veins may take longer to respond, and multiple sessions might be necessary for complete clearance. Results are long-lasting when combined with proper skin care and sun protection.
