Safely Delete Unwanted Veins in Ann Arbor, MI
Unwanted, unsightly, purple or snaking veins are simply a bummer. From limiting your wardrobe to making you self-conscious at the beach, these veins fool us by looking like permanent features of our body’s vascular system. Thankfully, spider veins are anything but necessary. With the right kind of laser energy, you can safely collapse those veins for good, regardless of your skin tone. The YAG laser vein removal procedure at Ganger Dermatology permanently shuts down unwanted veins, giving you and your skin a new lease on life!
Shut Down Unwanted Veins Forever
Throughout the dermatology and cosmetic fields, there’s more than one way to close a vein. Sclerotherapy injections are another safe and effective method. But for port-wine stains, stubborn spider veins, and other vascular lesions, laser vein treatments are picking up speed. Depending on the laser in question, patients with darker skin tones face increased risks. But with a YAG laser, vein removal has never been safer or easier for patients of all skin tones.
Laser vein removal works by directing a powerful beam through the skin at the unwanted vein. Here, laser energy is absorbed as heat, gradually clotting blood to degrade and collapse the vein walls. Afterwards, that blood finds a less visible path wherever it needs to go. With the YAG laser specifically, a longer wavelength of light ensures minimal absorption in the surrounding tissue. YAG lasers target the vein alone without also sending risky amounts of energy into the skin.
At Ganger Dermatology, we’re committed to providing our patients with the safest and most effective treatment options. That’s why we’re proud to offer YAG laser vein removal which is safe, effective, quick, and easy for all skin tones.
Benefits of YAG Laser Vein Removal
YAG Laser Vein Removal FAQs
Yes, once the treated vein has collapsed, it will not regrow in the same place or the same way as before. When the laser energy causes coagulation and vein collapse, that blood finds another, less visible path to wherever it was going in the first place. Sadly, this does not mean that additional vascular lesions won’t appear over time. Poor circulation and certain lifestyles (sitting or standing for long periods each day) may result in additional veins that can also be treated with a YAG laser.

Yes, the YAG laser system is purposefully designed to be safe for all skin tones. By employing a longer wavelength of light, the YAG laser system ensures safety on two distinct fronts. Firstly, longer wavelengths have a lower frequency, minimizing interactions. Longer wavelengths also penetrate tissue at higher rates, meaning that the laser passes through you before it has a chance to cause unintended damage. In short, YAG laser vein removal is exceedingly safe no matter how light or dark your skin may be.
YAG laser vein removal can treat numerous types of vascular lesions, including spider veins, port-wine stains, abnormal veins, angiofibromas, and abnormal arteries. To learn if your unwanted veins are a candidate for laser vein removal, call Ganger Dermatology at (734) 344-4567 or find an office near you.
