Leg & Facial Veins Laser
Leg and Facial Veins Laser treatment reduces the visibility of unwanted veins on the legs and face. The laser emits a focused light beam that targets the blood pigments without damaging the surrounding skin. This light energy causes the blood within the vein to coagulate, eventually leading to the collapse and absorption of the vein by the body. The procedure effectively treats spider, reticular, and some smaller varicose veins, making it a versatile solution for enhancing the skin’s appearance.
Leg and Facial Veins Laser in West Des Moines, IA, is suitable for individuals who are self-conscious about visible veins on their face or legs and looking for a non-invasive treatment option. This treatment mainly benefits those with fair to medium skin tones and works best on smaller veins. Typically, results are visible a few weeks after treatment, with optimal results visible after multiple sessions. Results usually last for several years, depending on individual factors.

Leg & Facial Vein Treatment with Cutera Excel® V
Our leg and facial vein treatments now use the advanced Cutera Excel® V laser. This gold-standard vascular laser system uses two powerful wavelengths (532 nm and 1064 nm) to safely and effectively target superficial and deeper blood vessels.
- The 532 nm wavelength targets superficial veins, spider veins, and redness (e.g., broken capillaries, rosacea) for a smoother, more even complexion.
- The 1064 nm wavelength (Nd:YAG) penetrates deeper, addressing leg veins, reticular veins, and deeper vascular lesions often resistant to lighter treatments.
Excel® V’s dual-wavelength capability, combined with adjustable spot sizes and built-in cooling, allows us to treat a broad range of vascular issues from delicate facial spider veins to larger leg veins with precision, comfort, and minimal downtime.
