Vessels on the legs, gently addressed.
Small visible vessels on the legs — thread veins, telangiectasias, and similar — respond well to focused laser treatment. The Aerolase Neo targets the vessel directly, with most clients seeing meaningful improvement over a short series.

— Our Approach
Targeted laser for surface vessels.
Surface-level leg vessels are well-suited to laser treatment. For deeper or larger veins, we'll refer you to an appropriate specialist.
— The Technology
650 microseconds of precision.
The Aerolase Neo's 650-microsecond pulse targets hemoglobin inside small leg vessels, causing the vessel to collapse over time with minimal surrounding tissue disturbance.
It's contactless. No cooling gel, no anesthetic — appropriate for the surface vessels common on calves, ankles, and thighs.

— Common Questions
Good questions. Simple answers.
If you don't see your question here, our team is happy to answer it during your free consultation.
Is the treatment safe for darker skin tones?
The Aerolase Neo is FDA-cleared for use on all Fitzpatrick skin types (I–VI), including melanin-rich skin. Its short 650-microsecond pulse is designed to minimize the heat-related side effects that can be a concern with some traditional treatments. Any treatment risks specific to your skin will be reviewed during your complimentary consultation.
Can you treat varicose veins?
We treat small surface-level vessels. For larger varicose veins or those requiring sclerotherapy or surgical intervention, we'll refer you to a qualified vein specialist.
Will the vessels come back?
Treated vessels typically don't return, but new vessels can develop with prolonged standing, pregnancy, genetics, or other factors. Maintenance addresses new vessels rather than the originals.
Does the treatment hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as a series of brief, warm pulses. The treatment is contactless and doesn't typically require numbing, though sensitivity varies. If you have particularly sensitive skin, let your provider know during the consultation and they'll adjust the protocol.
Should I wear compression after a session?
Compression is sometimes recommended after leg vein treatment to support results. Your provider will give you specific guidance based on your treatment plan.
Is there any downtime?
Most clients return to their day right after a session. You may see brief redness or warmth in the treated area for a few hours. Specific aftercare instructions will be provided based on your treatment.
