PHYSICIAN-PERFORMED LASER THERAPY
This Is Medical Care,
Not a Spa Treatment
Spider veins and visible vascular concerns aren’t just cosmetic issues. They’re often signs of underlying circulation changes that deserve medical attention.
At Thrive, Dr. Sharma brings his extensive cardiology and vascular medicine background to every laser treatment. You’re not receiving spa-level care from an aesthetician. You’re working with a board-certified physician who understands your vascular health comprehensively.
This means safer, more effective treatments designed for your specific vascular concerns with medical precision you won’t find at typical medspas.
Performed by a Vascular Medicine Specialist
Dr. Sharma holds board certifications in Vascular Medicine and Endovascular Medicine. He evaluates your vascular health before, during, and after treatment to ensure optimal results and safety.
Medical-Grade Laser Technology
We use advanced laser systems specifically designed for vascular treatments. These aren’t beauty-grade devices. They’re medical equipment that delivers precise, effective results.
Comprehensive Vascular Assessment
Before any laser treatment, Dr. Sharma evaluates your overall vascular health. If your visible veins indicate deeper circulation issues, you’ll know and receive appropriate medical care.

YOUR TREATMENT JOURNEY
What to Expect From Your First Visit Through Clear Skin

Dr. Sharma examines the veins you’re concerned about and evaluates your overall vascular health.

You’ll receive clear information about what laser therapy can achieve, how many sessions you’ll likely need, and what results to expect.
What You’ll Leave With
Understanding of your vascular health, personalized treatment plan, pricing information, and the option to begin treatment the same day if you’re ready.
Timeline
Initial consultation, typically 30 minutes
Your Laser Treatment Session
What Happens
You’ll be positioned comfortably in our treatment room. Dr. Sharma cleanly prepares the treatment area and may apply a numbing gel if needed. The laser handpiece is applied to target veins with precision. You may feel slight warmth or a snapping sensation. Most patients find treatments quite tolerable.

Timeline
Treatment sessions scheduled 4-6 weeks apart
Immediate Aftercare
What Happens
Treated veins may appear darker immediately after treatment. This is normal and means the laser is working. You may have mild redness or swelling that typically resolves within hours to a few days. Dr. Sharma provides specific aftercare instructions including sun protection and activity guidelines.
What You Can Do
Return to normal activities immediately. Most patients drive themselves home and go back to work the same day. You may be advised to wear compression stockings for leg treatments and avoid intense heat or sun exposure for a few days.
Timeline
Days 1-7 post-treatment
Seeing Your Results

Treated veins gradually fade as your body absorbs them. Facial veins may fade within 1-2 weeks. Leg veins typically take 4-8 weeks to fully disappear. You’ll return for additional sessions if needed, typically spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Dr. Sharma tracks your progress and adjusts treatment as needed.
What You’ll Experience
Progressive improvement with each treatment session. Most patients achieve significant clearance within 2-3 sessions. You’ll feel more confident as visible veins fade and your skin tone improves.

Weeks 4-12+ depending on severity
YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
What Patients Ask About Vascular Laser Treatments
Does laser vein treatment hurt?
Most patients describe the sensation as a quick snap or pinch, similar to a rubber band against skin. Facial treatments are generally very tolerable. Leg treatments may cause more discomfort but remain manageable for most people. We can apply numbing cream before treatment if you’re concerned about sensitivity.
How many treatments will I need?
This depends on the severity and extent of your veins. Most patients need 2-3 sessions for significant improvement. Facial veins often respond more quickly, sometimes in just 1-2 treatments. Leg spider veins typically require 2-3 sessions. Dr. Sharma provides a realistic estimate during your consultation based on your specific concerns.
Is there any downtime?
No. You can return to normal activities immediately after treatment. Treated areas may be slightly red or swollen for a few hours to a couple of days, but this doesn’t typically interfere with work or daily life. You should avoid intense heat, hot tubs, and direct sun exposure for a few days following treatment.
Will my insurance cover this?
Vascular laser treatments are typically considered cosmetic and not covered by insurance. However, if your veins are causing medical symptoms like pain, swelling, or indicate underlying vascular issues, insurance may cover part of the evaluation and treatment. We’ll discuss costs clearly during your consultation.
Can the veins come back after treatment?
Treated veins are permanently gone. However, you may develop new spider veins over time due to genetics, hormones, sun exposure, or lifestyle factors. Many patients return for occasional maintenance treatments every few years. Dr. Sharma discusses prevention strategies to help minimize new vein formation.
Are there any risks or side effects?
When performed by an experienced physician like Dr. Sharma, laser vein treatments are very safe. Possible temporary side effects include redness, swelling, bruising, or darkening of treated veins before they fade. These typically resolve within days to weeks. Serious complications are rare.
How soon will I see results?
Facial veins often show improvement within 1-2 weeks. Leg spider veins take longer, typically 4-8 weeks to fade completely. You won’t see instant results immediately after treatment because your body needs time to absorb the collapsed veins. Each treatment session builds on the previous one for progressive improvement.
What's the difference between laser treatment and sclerotherapy?
Both are effective for spider veins. Sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution directly into veins, while laser therapy targets veins through the skin surface. Laser works especially well for facial veins, very small spider veins, and patients who prefer to avoid injections. Dr. Sharma recommends the best approach for your specific veins during your consultation.
