Bellingham Small Leg Vein Treatment

At Artistry Medical Aesthetics, we treat small leg veins using the advanced Stellar M22 IPL handpiece. This noninvasive light based treatment targets visible red, blue, or purple veins just beneath the skin’s surface to help them fade gradually and safely.

Each treatment plan is personalized to your needs so we can gently reduce the appearance of small leg veins and help you feel more confident in your skin.

Understanding Small Leg Veins

Small leg veins, often referred to as spider veins or telangiectasias, are tiny blood vessels that appear close to the surface of the skin.

They commonly develop on the thighs, calves, and ankles and may look red, blue, or purple.

These veins can appear due to genetics, aging, sun exposure, hormonal changes, prolonged standing, or activities that increase pressure in the legs.

Although small leg veins are harmless, many people choose to treat them to achieve clearer, more even toned legs.

How IPL Helps Reduce Small Leg Veins

The Stellar M22 IPL handpiece emits pulses of targeted light that are absorbed by the blood inside the small veins. This gentle heat causes the vessel walls to collapse and fade over time while preserving surrounding tissue. Because IPL is noninvasive and precise, it’s an excellent option for treating small, superficial veins that are not suitable for injections or surgical treatments.

Patients often see:

  • Fading of red, blue, or purple surface veins
  • Clearer, more even looking skin on the legs
  • Improved confidence wearing shorts or skirts
  • Gradual, natural looking improvement with minimal downtime

Multiple sessions may be recommended depending on the number and visibility of the veins.

Preparation and Treatment Plan:

  • Pre-treatment with skincare recommended for optimal correction in treatment series. Please call Kelly with any questions at (360) 812-5835

  • Schedule a chemical peel 2–3 weeks prior for enhanced effectiveness

  • Plan 2–4 days of recovery time before and after treatment
  • Limit sun exposure and use SPF on the treated area for 4–6 weeks prior.

  • No self-tanners, spray tans, or tanning beds for 4–6 weeks prior. Your skin must return to its natural color prior to treatment.

  • Discuss any skin condition or photosensitive medications or topicals you may use with me. Here’s a list of some medications you may need to discontinue before treatment. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out prior to this appointment to discuss by calling Kelly at (360) 812-5835

While treatment can control hyperpigmentation, it cannot completely prevent future melasma since hormonal changes often play a role.

Small Leg Vein Treatment Pricing

Small leg vein reduction works best when completed as a full treatment series. Because each session builds on the last, we offer package pricing that includes all 3 recommended treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. This helps support steady improvement so your legs look clearer and more even-toned over time.

All pricing below includes a complete series of 3 small leg vein treatments, paid in full at your first visit.

Why Choose Stellar M22 Laser Technology

The Stellar M22 allows us to perform both laser skin resurfacing and non-ablative laser treatments. By treating the outer layer of skin and stimulating the deeper layers of the skin, this technology supports the growth of new skin and healthy tissue. Patients see reduced pore size, smoother texture, and overall outstanding results.

At Artistry Medical Aesthetics, our med spa treatments are ideal for people who want effective solutions for skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime. 

Many patients also pair their laser sessions with injectable treatments or other cosmetic enhancements for even more radiant results.

Every appointment at Artistry Medical Aesthetics begins with a personal consultation. We carefully review your medical history, assess your skin type, and design a plan tailored to your specific needs. Because our treatments are safe and require minimal downtime, most patients return to their daily routines quickly.
