Laser Vein Therapy Training
Spider veins are one of the most common aesthetic concerns among men and women. Over the past decade, modern treatment methods have improved drastically, which has led more businesses to incorporate these procedures into their service menu.
To meet this growing demand for cosmetic vein reduction, medical aesthetics schools across the country have designed training courses for individuals looking to become a cosmetic laser tech and learn spider vein removal techniques.
With over a decade of excellence, National Laser Institute offers laser vein therapy training that focuses on the best techniques to treat spider veins as well as other cosmetic procedures for anti-aging. Not only does this course offer classroom education, but it includes hands-on laser practice to ensure the best aesthetic results every time.
What Are Spider Veins?
Also called telangiectasias, spider veins are groups of tiny blood vessels that develop close to the surface of the skin and have the appearance of spiderwebs. They are caused by structural abnormalities and are often blue, red or purple in color.
Spider veins are commonly found on the face and legs in adults, though women tend to develop them more frequently than men. Factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, medications, pregnancy and obesity increase the chances of having this aesthetic vein condition.
Due to advances in laser technology and higher demand for minimally invasive treatments, clients have several options when it comes to vein reduction. They can choose from cosmetic methods such as lasers or injections. During laser vein therapy training, you will learn spider vein removal techniques using cosmetic lasers. Your course will also include hands-on laser practice in a medical spa environment where you will treat several clients to help prepare you for your new career opportunity as a cosmetic laser technician.
How Spider Veins Are Treated With Lasers
Laser technology can effectively treat unwanted spider veins that are up to two millimeters in diameter. A combination of different cosmetic lasers allows clients to receive the safest, most effective treatment. Longer wavelength lasers are used for larger veins while a shorter wavelength laser can treat smaller, more superficial veins.
During cosmetic vein reduction, a laser is applied to the vein or red spot, sending out bursts of light, causing the vein or red spot to shrink and fade without damaging the surrounding skin. Over time, the treated vessels slowly shrink and are absorbed by the body, revealing beautiful skin minus unsightly spider veins.
Since vein reduction is considered a cosmetic treatment, proper cosmetic laser training is a must! National Laser Institute offers spider vein therapy training where you will learn how to address spider veins with cosmetic lasers as well as other techniques for leg veins to provide your clients with the safest and most effective treatment.
