At Willow Medical Aesthetics, we understand that unsightly veins can be a source of discomfort and self-consciousness. That’s why we’re excited to offer laser vein treatment using the cutting-edge Motus AZ+ device. We zap away your hemangiomas, port wine stains, birthmarks, leg veins, and spider veins with our safe and effective treatment.
The Non-Invasive Solution to Vascular Lesions
Laser vein treatment is a non-invasive solution for vascular lesions like spider veins, birthmarks, and hemangiomas. The treatment uses a focused laser beam to target the pigment in the blood vessel, which causes the vessel to break down and fade over time. Laser vein treatment is safe and effective, with minimal downtime and discomfort. It’s a popular choice for those looking to improve the appearance of their skin without undergoing invasive surgery.
Laser Vein Treatment Corrects:
- Spider veins: small, visible veins that appear on the skin’s surface
- Varicose veins: larger, bulging veins that cause discomfort and swelling
- Hemangiomas: a type of birthmark caused by a collection of blood vessels
- Port wine stains: a type of birthmark that appears as a red or purple patch on the skin
- Cherry angiomas: small, bright red spots caused by the proliferation of blood vessels
- Rosacea: a skin condition that causes redness and visible blood vessels on the face
- Angiomas: benign tumors made up of blood vessels
- Venous lakes: blue or purple, soft, and slightly raised lesions on the lips or ears
The Science Behind Laser Vein Treatment
The science behind laser vein treatment lies in the selective absorption of laser energy by the pigment in the blood vessels. The laser emits a focused beam of light absorbed by the hemoglobin in the blood vessels, causing them to heat up and collapse. The body’s natural healing processes then remove the damaged vessels over time. The Motus AZ+ device used at Willow Medical Aesthetics delivers the laser energy in short pulses, allowing for more precise targeting of the affected vessels.

Your Laser Vein Treatment Session
At Willow Medical Aesthetics, we make your laser vein treatment session as comfortable as possible. During the session, you’ll be positioned comfortably, and a cooling gel may be applied to the treatment area to minimize discomfort.
Your provider will use the Motus AZ+ device to deliver the laser energy to the affected vessels. The length of the treatment will depend on the size and number of the veins being treated, but most sessions are completed in 30 minutes.
Side Effects
Although laser vein treatment is generally safe and well-tolerated, some patients may experience mild side effects such as redness, swelling, or bruising at the treatment site. These effects usually resolve within a few days to a week. Rarely, more severe side effects such as blistering, scarring, or changes in skin pigmentation may occur.
Downtime
Laser vein treatment requires little to no downtime, and most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the session. However, your healthcare provider may recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, hot baths or showers, and direct sunlight exposure for a short period following treatment to minimize the risk of side effects.
Onset
Patients may notice an immediate reduction in the appearance of treated veins after the laser vein treatment session. However, it may take several weeks or months for the body to completely eliminate the treated vessels. The final results of the treatment can usually be seen within 4 to 6 weeks.
Longevity
The longevity of laser vein treatment results depends on several factors, including the size and location of the treated veins, the patient’s overall health, and lifestyle habits. Treated veins are permanently eliminated, but new veins may form over time.
