LEG VEINS
Imagine wearing shorts or dresses again without feeling the need to cover up.
Visible leg veins can be frustrating whether it's tiny red spider veins or deeper blue vessels that seem impossible to hide. But you don’t have to live with them anymore.
At Blush, we use the Cutera Excel V+, the world’s leading vascular laser, to safely and effectively treat leg veins that many other lasers simply can’t. The Excel V+ stands apart because it uses two clinically proven wavelengths (532 nm and 1064 nm), allowing us to treat both surface veins and deeper vessels with precision.
Most lasers can only treat superficial vessels leaving deeper veins untouched or requiring multiple, ineffective sessions. Excel V+ technology changes that, offering faster, more complete results with minimal downtime.
How it works:
The laser energy causes the targeted vein to collapse and be naturally reabsorbed by the body over the following weeks. The surrounding skin remains unharmed, and the treated veins gradually fade, leaving your legs looking clearer, healthier, and more even-toned.
If you’ve been told leg veins are "just something you have to live with" it’s time for a second opinion.
Book your consultation and take the first step towards vein-free, confident legs.
FAQ
Where do I start?
Your first step is to book a consultation. This allows us to assess your veins and ensure they are suitable for laser treatment. We are unable to treat varicose veins, but we can advise you on the best course of action if these are present.
How much can be treated in one appointment?
We can safely treat an area about the size of your palm per leg in a single session.
How any treatments will I need?
On average, clients require 3–4 treatments for optimal results. However, some people may need fewer sessions, while others may require more depending on the size, depth, and number of vessels.
How often are the treatments?
Most vessels can be retreated every 6–10 weeks.
Larger reticular vessels (the deeper blue/green vessels) can take longer to resolve and are best treated every 8–12 weeks.
