Although any vein can become varicose, these veins most commonly occur in the legs and feet due to the greater pressure in the lower body generated by standing and walking. This is the area many patients feel they want to treat and resolve, both for the pain and appearance.
While varicose veins can affect virtually anybody, women and older adults are most likely to suffer from them. These enlarged veins are most often found in the legs and ankles. For some patients, they can be painful, causing pain, swelling, and cramping. Beyond that, they can dry out the skin and make it look thinner. It’s not uncommon for sufferers of varicose veins to feel self-conscious about the condition. Thankfully, there are now treatments available for it.
At La Fontaine Aesthetics, our board-certified staff is dedicated to providing the best varicose vein treatment Denver has to offer. Our luxurious med spa environment is equipped with a wide array of advanced assessment technologies and four separate laser systems, including one for endovenous ablation therapy, to help ensure that the patient’s condition is correctly identified.
Varicose veins can be best defined as excessively dilated veins that can be perceived under the skin and most often occur in the legs. They are typically the result of excess and abnormal pressure within the veins. These conditions can be caused by numerous factors, such as genetics, obesity, pregnancy, or standing for long periods of time.
There are a number of conditions that can lead to the development of varicose veins. Some of these include:

Laser Vein Treatment is part of a new group of technologies that elicit dramatic results without requiring surgery. At La Fontaine, we offer two options for varicose vein treatment in Denver:
This laser works by emitting a powerful burst of light energy directly into the vein. This light causes the vein to seal up, redirecting blood in the area to another vein. With time, the treated vein becomes reabsorbed by the body. This method is most often recommended for patients dealing with smaller veins.
For patients who are dealing with more advanced cases of varicose veins, endovenous ablation therapy is often recommended. This technique works by inserting a thin laser or radio wave emitting tube under the skin around the vein by way of a very small incision. The laser modifies the composition of the vein, making it close up and fade away over time. This treatment typically involves applying a numbing agent to the area to ensure patient comfort, and patients are equipped with a leg wrap before being discharged.
Patients will be able to get back to their daily routines immediately after undergoing the treatment. That said, it’s not uncommon for patients to experience some mild bruising or discomfort around the treated area, which will dissipate over time. Patients are advised to wait at least a week before resuming any strenuous activity or exercise.
They typically cost anywhere from $350 to $500, but the prices may be higher in certain regions.
Cases in which the patient’s condition is found to be a functional issue are covered by insurance. Cosmetic cases are not covered.
It is estimated that approximately 50 - 55% of women and 40 - 45% of men suffer from vein-related issues.
