Laser Vein Treatments
Laser vein treatments offer advanced techniques to minimize the appearance of varicose and spider veins. At Berman Skin Institute, we offer minimally invasive laser vein treatment solutions so you can regain your confidence and achieve your cosmetic goals.
What Are Laser Vein Treatments and How Do They Work?
Laser vein treatment — specifically endovenous laser treatment (EVLT™) — is an ultrasound-guided procedure that can treat vein conditions, such as varicose and spider veins. Specifically, EVLT™ laser vein treatments use a thin fiber to apply laser energy to the damaged vein. The vein will close off, and the body will naturally absorb the dead and damaged veins, rerouting the blood through healthier surrounding veins.
What Are the Benefits of Laser Vein Treatments?
At Berman Skin Institute, we do our best to ensure you receive a seamless laser vein treatment experience. We always like to recommend laser treatment for varicose veins and spider veins because it is:
- Minimally invasive: Our laser vein treatments use a simple entry point near the knee to insert the laser fiber. This minimizes the risk of scarring and post-operative infections.
- Effective: Laser vein treatment offers solutions for even larger varicose veins. Most patients can see a noticeable reduction after one treatment.
- Safe: While every surgical procedure poses some risk, major complications are rare with laser vein treatments. A vein specialist will assess your specific risks and suitability for these procedures during your consultation.
- Convenient: Because of its minimally invasive design, laser vein treatments require no hospital stay. You can walk out of our center following the procedure and return to work the next day.

Laser Vein Treatment FAQs
Let’s dive into some FAQs regarding Laser Vein Treatment.
Laser vein treatment is a minimally invasive procedure used to reduce the appearance of varicose and spider veins. Berman Skin Institute uses endovenous laser treatment, or EVLT™, to apply laser energy to targeted veins.
EVLT™ is performed with ultrasound guidance. A provider inserts a thin laser fiber through a small entry point near the knee and directs laser energy into the affected vein. The vein closes, and the body gradually absorbs it while blood flow is redirected through healthier surrounding veins.
Laser vein treatment may be used to address varicose veins and spider veins. The appropriate treatment depends on the size, location, and characteristics of the veins being treated.
Yes. The procedure uses a small entry point to access the targeted vein rather than the larger incisions associated with traditional vein surgery. This can help reduce scarring and support a more convenient recovery.
Laser vein treatment may offer several benefits, including treatment for larger varicose veins, minimal scarring, no hospital stay, and a short recovery period. Many patients may notice a reduction in the appearance of treated veins after one procedure.
Laser vein treatment is completed as an outpatient procedure. The exact appointment length can vary depending on the number and location of veins being treated.
Many patients can return to work the next day. Your provider will give you individualized instructions based on your treatment and recovery.
Laser vein treatment is minimally invasive, and major complications are rare. However, every medical procedure carries potential risks. A vein specialist should evaluate your health, vein condition, and treatment suitability during a consultation.
The treated vein closes after the laser energy is applied, and the body gradually absorbs the damaged vein. Many patients see a noticeable reduction in varicose or spider veins after one treatment, although individual results vary.
People seeking to reduce larger varicose veins or visible spider veins may be candidates. A consultation with a vein specialist is necessary to determine whether EVLT™ is appropriate for your specific condition.
