Clear the Way for Confidence
Sun exposure, genetics, and the natural ageing process can cause the walls of blood vessels to weaken, leading to dark-colored veins near the surface of the skin. Although common, thread or spider veins, especially those that appear on the face, can impact your self-confidence and mar your ideal look. Fortunately, laser therapy offers a convenient, safe, and highly effective solution, targeting these tiny veins without disrupting surrounding tissues. Our laser therapists at CLNQ are highly experienced in helping clients banish these pesky veins and enjoy renewed confidence in their appearance.
Fragility in the walls of the tiny blood vessels near the surface of the skin can cause them to expand and become visible. These compromised blood vessels can appear as fine red, blue, or purple lines, commonly known as thread veins, spider veins, or broken capillaries. Thread veins on the face can be caused by various factors like prolonged sun exposure, genetic predisposition, rosacea, hormonal changes, and ageing. Most thread veins are not harmful, but many people choose to treat them for cosmetic reasons, especially when they appear on the face. At CLNQ, our skilled laser therapists can safely eliminate unwanted thread veins with our YAG laser, letting you enjoy clear skin without the distraction of unsightly veins.
See Through to You
Laser technology has made it easier than ever to target problem veins with safety and precision:
Precision Targeting
The YAG laser emits a specific wavelength of light that precisely targets the hemoglobin in the blood vessels, effectively treating the thread veins while minimizing damage to the surrounding skin.
Non-Invasive
Unlike surgical procedures, YAG laser treatment is non-invasive, meaning there are no incisions or needles involved.
Minimal Discomfort
With the use of topical anesthetics and cooling techniques, most individuals experience minimal discomfort during the procedure, often described as a mild stinging or snapping sensation.
Quick and Convenient
The treatment sessions are typically quick, and there's minimal to no downtime, allowing individuals to resume their daily activities immediately afterward.
Effective Results
YAG laser treatment can effectively reduce the appearance of facial thread veins, leading to smoother and clearer skin over a series of sessions.
Safe for Various Skin Types
YAG lasers are considered safe for different skin types and tones, with minimal risk of pigmentation changes when performed by experienced professionals.
Progressive Improvement
While multiple sessions might be needed, gradual improvements are observed with each treatment, leading to a visible reduction in the appearance of thread veins over time.
The YAG laser's precision, non-invasiveness, minimal discomfort, and effectiveness in targeting facial thread veins make it a highly favored option for individuals seeking to improve the appearance of their skin without undergoing invasive procedures.

Targeted Laser Technology
Before the treatment begins, the skin is cleansed to remove any makeup, oils, or lotions. Protective eyewear is provided to shield your eyes from the laser.
To minimize discomfort and protect the skin, a cooling gel or a cooling device may be applied to the treatment area. In some cases, a topical anesthetic cream might also be used to numb the skin. Your CLNQ therapist will use a handheld device emitting the YAG laser light to target the areas affected by thread veins. The laser emits pulses of light that specifically target the hemoglobin in the blood vessels without damaging the surrounding skin. You may feel a mild stinging or snapping sensation during the procedure as the laser pulses are applied to the skin, but most people find this very tolerable.
Supported Healing
Your CLNQ specialist will provide you with detailed guidelines on keeping the treatment area protected and healthy following your visit. With a few simple precautions, you can return to your normal routine right away. It's crucial to protect the treated area from direct sunlight for a few weeks. Applying cool compresses or ice packs can help to reduce swelling or discomfort. We’ll advise you to avoid strenuous exercises and keep your skin well-hydrated for a few days after each treatment. Your CLNQ therapist is always available to answer your questions and offer support between visits.
Shed Your Vein Worries
YAG laser treatments can produce complete elimination or visible reduction of problem veins on your face. Your CLNQ laser specialist will meticulously assess your concerns in order to create a customized treatment plan. Patience is key as results may not be immediate, requiring multiple sessions for optimal outcomes. Some individuals might notice subtle changes immediately after the first treatment session. Veins may appear lighter or less prominent due to the initial effects of the laser on the targeted blood vessels. However, significant visible improvements often become more apparent over time, typically after a few weeks to a couple of months following the completion of multiple treatment sessions. This is because the body gradually reabsorbs and eliminates the damaged blood vessels, leading to a reduction in the appearance of thread veins.
The number of YAG laser treatments needed to see significant results for thread veins can vary based on the severity and size of the affected vein. On average, patients might require anywhere from two to four sessions, but in some cases, more sessions may be necessary to achieve the desired outcome.
YAG laser treatment for conditions like thread veins is generally considered safe when performed by trained professionals. Temporary changes such as redness, swelling, or bruising in the treated area are common after the procedure. Rarer risks include alterations in skin pigmentation and scarring or burns. Working with a highly qualified provider and following all aftercare instructions carefully greatly reduces such risks.
Some people describe the feeling during the YAG laser treatment as a mild stinging or snapping sensation as the laser pulses are applied to the skin. However, it's generally well-tolerated by most individuals. Before the procedure, a topical anesthetic cream might be applied to numb the skin and minimize any potential discomfort. This can help alleviate sensations during the treatment.
