What is Laser Vein Removal?
Commonly located on the face and upper thighs, spider veins are small blood vessels that branch and become visible underneath the skin. Caused by many factors, like age and genetics, spider veins can be blue, purple, or red, which makes them difficult to conceal. Since these veins usually progress over the years and lead to greater visibility, it's smart to get treatment at the first signs. To decrease the visibility of spider veins on the body and face, Farella MD Spa and Wellness Center offers noninvasive laser vein removal treatments with the Cutera VariLite laser at our Mount Kisco, NY location.
VariLite is a dual-wavelength laser system that generates an intense beam of light that is absorbed by oxyhemoglobin (bright red blood cells carrying oxygen) and melanin (black or brown pigment found in the skin), causing destruction while leaving healthy cells intact. This laser is excellent for treating broken vessels in the face and legs but can also treat other vascular, pigmented, and cutaneous lesions, like facial telangiectasia, cherry angiomas, spider angiomas, rosacea, spider veins, lentigines, freckles, dermatosis papulosis nigra, and keratoses. Schedule a consultation with Dr. John F. Farella to learn whether this treatment is right for you. Consultations and follow-up appointments are held at our White Plains, NY location, and all light and laser procedures and skin care treatments are performed at our Mount Kisco, NY practice.
How Does Laser Vein Removal Work?
Nonsurgical vein removal treatments are completed in our Mount Kisco, NY office in around 20 – 40 minutes, based on the size and number of areas treated. For your procedure, you will be asked to relax in a reclined position in one of our treatment rooms as the skin is cleaned and prepared. At your request, a topical numbing cream can be applied before the procedure to reduce any discomfort. The VariLite handheld laser device is passed across the skin so the wavelengths can reach the spider veins with multiple pulses that don't harm the skin. The blood vessel absorbs the energy of the laser, which collapses the walls of the veins. You will be allowed to leave our office right after the treatment to resume your regular day.

Farella MD Spa and Wellness Center Reviews
I got lipo 360 from Dr. Farella in May. My experience as great and I look fantastic! I chose to get surgery here because he is board certified, has several years of experience, has a certified Operating room in his practice, and because he is located in NY. His CRNA followed up with me the following day of surgery and it was reassuring to know that I was being followed by a medical team. Dr. Farella was the first doctor that told me I didn’t need a tummy tuck. He got my waist from 32 in down to 27 in. If you live in the CT,NY, NJ area and considering cosmetic surgery, I would highly reccomend Dr. Farella.
Dr Farella made me feel so comfortable and at ease before, during and after my procedure! He was so knowledgeable and up to date in his field. I'm very happy with my results

Laser Vein Removal FAQs
How much does laser vein removal cost?
Laser vein removal is priced depending on the number of veins being addressed and the number of sessions suggested to get your ideal results. In your consultation, we will assess your veins, their size, and their location, then develop your custom treatment plan to establish your cost. Farella MD Spa and Wellness Center accepts several payment methods, and we frequently offer deals on procedures.
Should I get laser vein removal or sclerotherapy?
A treatment with laser vein removal can help veins of all types and sizes. Based on your needs, laser vein removal may work better than sclerotherapy, depending on your goals. Laser works great for some veins; however, depending on your needs, you might get better results from sclerotherapy, which treats the vein by injecting a special solution. More prominent veins, such as varicose veins, respond well to laser vein treatments; however, surgery might be recommended if the vein is more prominent. Our team will work with you to determine your treatment choice based on your specific needs and wants.
Does the vein go away?
A laser vein treatment will address the vein with a focused beam of light that heats the vein to destroy it. The laser system is precise and focuses on the target area so it won't affect the nearby skin. Once the vein has collapsed, it takes about 4 – 6 weeks for it to be reabsorbed and disappear.
Where can laser vein removal be used?
Visible veins can be found on the face, thighs, back of the legs, and near your ankles. Anywhere a spider vein exists, laser vein removal may help reduce the appearance of unwanted veins. Our state-of-the-art laser system works with precision so the surrounding skin and tissue are unaffected.
Is laser vein removal painful?
Prior to the procedure, we typically apply numbing cream to the skin. Some patients feel a slight tingling or snap when the laser is aimed at the vein. Most laser systems, including the one our practice uses, are equipped with a built-in system that helps produce a cooling effect. This reduces discomfort while preventing the laser from getting too hot, which may cause damage.
