Swelling and discoloration are common side effects following treatment. As a result, a blister and/or crust may emerge and last for 7-14 days. During this time, extra care must be taken when handling the delicate treated area. It may take 4-6 weeks before the effects of treatment become noticeable. At this point, there is a possibility for additional treatment to achieve further improvement.

Condition Overview
A Unique Area of Expertise
Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are enlarged veins that appear bluish-purple under the skin. The size of these veins can increase slightly, leading to swelling or twisting. You'll typically find these in the legs.
Spider Veins
Telangiectasias, or spider veins, are small dilated blood vessels that can be seen under the skin. Their appearance can range from red, blue, or purple, and they can be seen in clusters or "branches".
Vascular Lesions
"Vascular lesion" is a general term that encompasses various abnormalities in blood vessels. This includes birthmarks such as port-wine stains and strawberry hemangiomas, along with cherry angiomas that progress gradually.

the Process
Expect Excellence
Consultation
Your first visit to Bella Vi will involve a personalized consultation. From the moment you enter our door, you’ll experience joy, sophistication, and glamour—and it only gets better. We infuse every moment spent with you with careful and compassionate attention. During our consultations, we place great importance on thoroughly addressing all of your aesthetic concerns, analyzing the areas you wish to address, and formulating a personalized treatment plan that goes beyond your expectations.
If you choose to proceed with spider vein removal treatments, we will provide you with comprehensive information to properly prepare for your appointment.
Treatment
To ensure your complete comfort during the spider vein removal treatment, we will first administer a topical numbing solution. After ensuring sufficient numbness, we proceed to use our laser applicator with precision and efficiency. By absorbing energy, this device causes the blood vessels to heat up, collapse, and seal shut. As time passes, the vessels that have been treated undergo reabsorption by the body and gradually diminish.
Results
Laser vein treatment typically takes around 30 minutes. With no need for downtime or recovery, you can carry on with your day after this noninvasive procedure. Note: it may take up to 3 months after your last session to see complete results.
Ongoing Maintenance
Additional treatments may be necessary to remove all visible spider veins or to treat other areas, but our team can assist you in scheduling follow-up appointments. By visiting our clinic for spider vein removal in Franklin, you can expedite your journey towards a more confident and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Simply put: when you get spider vein removal in Franklin, your body will redirect blood flow to healthier veins.
Following your spider vein treatment, we advise you to follow these post-care instructions:
- To prevent/reduce swelling and discomfort, cool water compresses may be applied to the area for 10 minutes of every hour. Do not apply ice directly to the treated area.
- If you feel any discomfort (typically does not last for more than 6 hours), use acetaminophen (Tylenol). Do not use aspirin or ibuprofen during the healing process (1-2 weeks), as this can increase bruising.
- Use a mild, non-irritating soap such as Cetaphil to gently cleanse the treated areas. If a blister or crust has formed, apply Cicalfate or Aquaphor healing ointment to the treated area. IF the wound is oozing, apply a bandage (nonstick with tape); otherwise, you may leave it open to the air. Repeat this process twice daily.
- Showers are permitted, but prolonged hot baths are not advised for 1-2 weeks. Gently pat the treated area dry with a soft cloth. Do NOT rub with a towel or washcloth, because the area is extremely delicate while healing.
- Do NOT rub, scratch, or pick the treated area. If a crust develops, let the crust fall off on its own.
- Makeup and moisturizer may be applied as usual if crusting is not present. Otherwise, wait until the crusting has come off. IF makeup is applied to cover up the bruising, do NOT use makeup remover or cleanser harshly while the skin is still healing, as this may injure or abrade the treated area. Instead let the makeup wear off on its own.
- Avoid tweezing, waxing, bleaching, or chemical peels during the treatment. Do NOT use any irritants such as Retin-A, Benzoyl Peroxide, or astringents.
- Avoid swimming and contact sports while the skin is healing.
To avoid the formation of new spider veins and varicose veins, we suggest the following:
- Regular exercise
- Not standing or sitting for long periods of time
- Avoiding wearing tight clothing and soft-sole shoes
- Avoiding crossing your legs
- Wearing compression stockings as needed
- Eating a healthy diet
- Elevating your legs
