Why Choose CATARA Med Spa for Vascular Laser Therapy
Laser Vein Removal Treatment in Algonquin, IL
Am I a Candidate?Feel Confident in Your Skin
One of the most common confidence-shaking conditions we see at our CATARA Medical Spa in Algonquin is spider veins. This may cause you to be reluctant to dress in a way that exposes the skin with these visible veins present. Luckily, these veins are easily treatable and don’t have to continue to hamper your self-esteem.
Spider veins are often considered the same as varicose veins, but the two have distinct differences. Spider veins appear on the surface of your skin. They are small, typically pink, purple, or red. Our laser vein removal treatment allows spider veins to be easily treated with very little recovery. Spider veins can appear on different areas of the body, primarily the legs, face, nose, and ankles.

The Laser Vein Removal Process
What to Expect
Consultation
Before your LASER vein removal at CATARA Medical Spa in Algonquin, you will meet with a member of our team for a consultation to discuss your individual situation. We will go over any concerns you may have and share all relevant information you should be aware of before scheduling your treatment.
LASER Vein Removal Treatment
First, we apply a handheld laser against the skin to cover the targeted vein. This handpiece delivers light that penetrates through the skin and into the blood inside the vein. The skin around the vein will be unaffected. As the blood absorbs the energy from the LASER, the vein will begin to heat, causing the vessel’s lining to constrict and fade away from the surface of the skin and out of view. This leaves the skin clear and looking as if the veins were never visible!
Next Steps
After your LASER vein removal treatment in Algonquin, we will discuss any follow-up or post-care instructions you need to be aware of. In the case of larger veins or additional treatment areas, an additional appointment may be required to fully eliminate visibility.

- Stay well hydrated in the days leading up to your appointment.
- Take any recommended medications you were advised to take.

Post-Treatment Instructions
