Introduction

Visible facial veins, spider veins, and broken capillaries can make skin appear older or less even-toned. At Wellness Center of Cleveland, we offer safe and effective vein removal using the Long-Pulsed YAG laser, a technology designed to gently target and fade unwanted blood vessels—restoring clearer, more radiant skin.

What Is Long-Pulsed YAG Vein Removal?

The Long-Pulsed Nd:YAG laser uses a specific wavelength of light (1064 nm) that penetrates below the skin surface to heat and collapse small blood vessels without harming surrounding tissue. Over time, the treated veins are naturally absorbed by the body and disappear.
