Commonly found on the face and legs, spider veins are small, branching blood vessels that are visible underneath the skin. Caused by age, genetics, and other factors, spider veins may be blue, purple, or red, which makes them difficult to mask. Since these veins usually multiply over the years and become more visible, you should seek help when you first notice them. Stalder Plastic Surgery performs nonsurgical laser vein removal sessions for New Orleans, LA individuals to minimize the visibility of veins on the face and body. At your private consultation, plastic surgeon Dr. Mark W. Stalder will develop a personalized plan based on your needs and goals for your laser vein treatment.

Who Is A Candidate for Laser Vein Removal?
Nonsurgical vein removal sessions at Stalder Plastic Surgery may help the appearance of small or medium-sized veins on the body and face. Frequently known as spider veins, these visible blood vessels are rarely a medical issue; however, they are considered a cosmetic concern. Affected people tend to avoid certain clothing (such as shorts and swimsuits) or use a lot of makeup to hide their spider veins. Laser vein treatments are best for patients with good overall health, those who do not have a history of blood clots, and those who are not pregnant.
How Does Laser Vein Removal Work?
Nonsurgical vein treatments are completed in our New Orleans, LA office in about 20 – 40 minutes based on the number of areas being addressed. You will lie comfortably in one of our treatment rooms as the skin is cleaned for your procedure. If requested, a topical anesthetic may be applied before your procedure to lessen any discomfort. The laser is passed across the area so the energy can target the spider veins through multiple pulses without affecting the surrounding tissues. The vessel absorbs the energy of the laser, which collapses the wall of the vessel. You can leave our office right after the treatment to return to your normal day.
What Should I Expect after Laser Vein Removal?
Following your laser vein removal treatment, you may experience swelling, redness, and bruising, but these side effects usually disappear in around 7 – 10 days. Support or compression garments can be worn for quicker healing to improve your blood circulation. It is important to avoid extended exposure to UV rays, and you should use sunscreen in areas that have been treated. Certain patients may see improvements immediately, but outcomes will differ for each patient. During your initial consultation, realistic expectations and suggestions on how many sessions are needed to get your best results will be discussed. New spider veins will likely appear in time, so touch-up procedures may be performed as needed.

Laser Vein Removal FAQs
How much does laser vein removal cost?

During your initial consultation, your technician will evaluate your veins, the size and location, and determine the scope of the treatment process to establish a cost. Stalder Plastic Surgery offers several payment methods and we frequently offer deals on treatments.
Should I get laser vein removal or sclerotherapy?
Treatments with laser vein removal works well for veins of all types and sizes. Depending on your veins, laser vein removal might work better than sclerotherapy based on your goals. Laser vein therapy works well on certain veins; however, depending on your needs, you may prefer sclerotherapy, which injects a solution into the vein to remove it. Larger veins such as varicose veins often respond well to laser vein removal, but if the vein is larger, surgery may be necessary. We will work with you to determine your treatment method depending on your specific concerns and goals.
Does the vein go away?
Laser vein removal treats the vein with a focused beam of light that affects the vein and then destroys it. The laser is very precise and focuses on the vein, so it will not damage the nearby skin. When the vein collapses, it will take about 4 – 6 weeks for it to be reabsorbed and fade away.

Dr. Mark Stalder is an exceptional plastic surgeon, and my experience with his office came during a particularly challenging time in my life. With a strong family history of breast cancer on my maternal side, I made the decision to undergo a prophylactic double mastectomy with immediate DIEP reconstruction in an effort to prevent cancer. It was a difficult decision, but one that I did not take lightly. I chose to work with Stalder Plastic Surgery, and I am incredibly grateful for that choice. Throughout the process, every question I had was answered, and every concern I faced was addressed with professionalism and compassion.

When I decided to treat myself to a mastopexy for my 50th birthday, I asked some nurse friends who they recommended for a plastic surgeon. They both said they love and trust Dr Stalder and his team. His patients recover well, love their results, and have so much gratitude for Dr Stalder and his team. I am now among them!Without any pressure, Dr Stalder educated me about fat grafting to also add volume. I chose that option instead of mastopexy alone. I knew I’d love my results, but I didn’t fully appreciate how much of a perfectionist Dr Stalder is. He exceeded my expectations!Recovery was easy, results are beautiful, and I take every opportunity to refer people to Dr Stalder, so they can also have the best possible experience.
I had a great experience with Dr. Stalder and his team. He was very kind, informative, and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. The staff (Jess) is friendly and welcoming, and Abby, the PA, was excellent as well. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
