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?
Your laser vein removal treatment is priced based on the number of veins are being addressed and the number of sessions that are recommended to get your ideal results. 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.

Stalder Plastic Surgery Reviews
Great Team, great work. I would recommend them to anyone or should I say everyone. Great job DR. STALDER, keep up the great work.
I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with the team at Stalder Plastic Surgery. They are sensitive, caring, professional, comforting and smart. They walked me through a life changing surgery and I felt that they were a constant source of support.
Dr. Stalder and his office staff are beyond amazing. They make you feel so comfortable and welcome. They made my reconstruction journey so pleasant and calming.
On August 1, 2023 at the age of 69 I was diagnosed with breast cancer in my right breast. So many things go through your mind at this time and so many choices to make. Within a week I had a team that consisted of an oncologist, radiologist, breast surgeon and plastic surgeon. All amazing doctors, but my plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Stalder, of Stalder Plastic Surgery hit it out the ballpark. My spouse and I went into our first visit with so many questions, we had a list, and each question was patiently answered. During a few consultations with Dr. Stalder I decided that I would do a double mastectomy with DIEP Flap reconstruction. Even though my cancer was only in my right breast I didn’t want the concern of it occurring in my left breast at a later date. Jess, Dr. Stalder’s patient rep had recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. She had gone through the same surgery I was about to undergo. I spoke to her at length about my decision and what was to come. Jess was so very so helpful and supportive and really put my mind at ease with my decision. Abby, Dr. Stalder’s PA is the best, such a sweetheart. She was there for every visit from pre-op to all of my follow ups. When she went out on maternity leave, Alexa stepped in, once again another fabulous person. She made me feel as if she had been there from day one as well. I can’t leave Angie out either. On a few occasions when I called with a question and staff was with other patients she always answered my questions or made sure I got my question answered. The surgery I chose consisted of two surgeries, the first the Masectomy and DIEP flap and then a few months later there was the “tweaking” surgery. The second one was to even out my breasts and move the scar from the DIEP flap and tighten up my belly. The first surgery was September 19, 2023 and the second was on February 19, 2024. All through these surgeries Dr. Stalder and his amazing team have been right there along for the ride with me. Always patient and kind when I came in for follow-ups with my list of questions. Dr. Stalder always walks in with the biggest smile and makes you feel so comfortable. And let me tell you how important that is considering you are completely naked during those follow up visits. It’s been almost a year since my first surgery and I can’t thank Dr. Stalder, Jess, Abby, Alexa and Angie enough for their professionalism, kindness, compassion, making me feel like a person, not just a patient, and for giving my spouse piece of mind during this ordeal as well. You guys rock!
Dr. Stalder and his staff are deserving of more than 5 stars. They are truly the best - doctor, physician's assistant , Abby and office staff, Jess. My mastectomy and reconstruction surgeries were very difficult and had many unforeseen complications. Dr. Stalder was so caring and encouraging. He and his staff were never more than a phone call away. They were always patient and kind. The end results are amazing; he has made me feel whole again. I am forever grateful for Dr. Stalder and staff.
