Laser Varicose Veins Treatment In Beverly Hills, CA

A modern, non-surgical solution to unsightly and painful veins by Dr. Solomon

Varicose veins are more than just a cosmetic concern—they can cause pain, swelling, fatigue, and affect your quality of life. For patients in Beverly Hills who want to restore smooth, healthy-looking legs and improve circulation without invasive surgery, laser varicose vein treatment offers a fast, effective, and virtually painless solution.

At Solomon Aesthetic Podiatry, Dr. Nathan S. Solomon combines his advanced medical training with a focus on aesthetics to deliver exceptional results using state-of-the-art laser vein technology. Whether you’re experiencing visible varicosities or underlying venous insufficiency, laser therapy can help you regain both comfort and confidence.

What Are Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted, and discolored veins caused by malfunctioning valves within the vein. Normally, these valves keep blood flowing toward the heart, but when they weaken or fail, blood pools and veins swell, often becoming visible through the skin.

Common symptoms include:

  • Bulging or rope-like veins
  • Leg/ankle fatigue or heaviness
  • Itching or burning
  • Swelling in the ankles or calves
  • Cramping, especially at night
  • Skin changes near the ankle or shin
  • Aching or throbbing after standing for long periods

Varicose veins most commonly appear on the legs and ankles, but they can also form in other parts of the lower body. If left untreated, they can progress and lead to complications such as venous ulcers, skin discoloration, or blood clots.

What Is Laser Varicose Vein Treatment?

Laser vein therapy uses focused light energy to close off problematic veins. At our Beverly Hills clinic, we use both endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) for deeper veins and surface laser treatments for smaller visible veins.

How it works:

  • The laser targets hemoglobin in the blood, heating the vein wall
  • The heat causes the vein to collapse and seal shut
  • Blood is rerouted to healthier nearby veins
  • Over time, the treated vein is absorbed by the body and fades from view

This process is safe, effective, and minimally invasive, no need for large incisions, stitches, or general anesthesia. It’s often completed in under an hour and provides long-term relief with minimal discomfort.

Benefits of Laser Vein Therapy

Laser treatment offers several advantages over traditional vein surgery (ligation/stripping) and sclerotherapy:

  • Minimally invasive: Tiny laser fiber inserted through a small puncture
  • No general anesthesia: Procedure performed with topical and local anesthesia
  • Quick recovery: Most patients return to normal activity within 24–48 hours
  • Minimal discomfort: Only slight pressure or warmth during the procedure
  • No scarring: Virtually no marks left behind
  • High success rate: Over 90% effectiveness in treating symptomatic veins
  • Outpatient treatment: No hospital stay required
  • No need for compression forever: Many patients are able to stop wearing support stockings permanently

Patients typically notice improvements in both appearance and leg comfort within a few weeks. Leg fatigue, swelling, and aching often decrease within days.

What to Expect During Your Visit

Initial Consultation

Dr. Solomon will perform a full medical evaluation, including a duplex ultrasound to map the vein system and identify the location of valve failure or reflux. This imaging helps pinpoint which veins need treatment and ensures that we address the root cause—not just the visible symptoms.

You’ll receive a customized treatment plan based on:

  • Size and location of your varicose veins
  • Symptoms (cosmetic, medical, or both)
  • Skin condition and medical history
  • Your activity level and goals

The Procedure

  • Performed in-office under topical and local anesthesia
  • A thin laser fiber is guided into the vein through a tiny incision (usually near the knee or ankle)
  • Laser energy is delivered while the fiber is slowly withdrawn
  • The vein closes and is naturally reabsorbed over time

Time: About 30–60 minutes per leg depending on the number of veins treated.

Some cases may be combined with ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy for tributary veins or spider veins. Combination therapy maximizes cosmetic and functional outcomes.

Recovery and Aftercare

After treatment, patients can walk immediately and are encouraged to resume light activity the same day. Walking helps improve circulation and speeds healing.

Post-procedure instructions:

  • Wear compression stockings for 1–2 weeks to support healing
  • Avoid heavy lifting, intense exercise, or hot baths for several days
  • Elevate legs when resting to reduce swelling
  • Keep the treated area clean and dry
  • Stay well-hydrated and avoid prolonged standing

Side Effects May Include:

  • Mild bruising or tightness along the vein
  • Itching or numbness (temporary)
  • A pulling sensation during recovery

Most side effects resolve within a few days to two weeks. Rarely, small lumps or hardened veins may be felt under the skin as the body absorbs treated veins. These are not dangerous and typically fade.

Who Is a Candidate?

Laser vein therapy is ideal for:

  • Adults with visible varicose veins
  • Patients experiencing leg pain, swelling, or fatigue due to venous insufficiency
  • People who have failed conservative therapies like compression stockings or lifestyle changes
  • Individuals seeking a cosmetic solution for unsightly veins
  • Patients looking to prevent worsening vein disease

Contraindications include active infections, clotting disorders, pregnancy, or poor overall vascular health. Dr. Solomon conducts a full screening to determine candidacy and safety.

Prevention Tips: Avoiding New Varicose Veins

Even after successful treatment, it’s important to support vein health. Dr. Solomon recommends the following:

  • Maintain a healthy weight to reduce pressure on veins
  • Avoid standing or sitting for long periods—move around frequently
  • Exercise regularly to promote circulation
  • Elevate your legs when resting
  • Wear compression stockings if advised
  • Avoid high heels for extended periods
  • Stay hydrated and eat a low-sodium diet

Good vein care habits can extend the results of your treatment and reduce the likelihood of recurrence.
