Why Choose Our Laser Leg Vein Removal

Lynton Lumina YAG laser

The Lynton Lumina YAG laser is absorbed by the blood in the vein, which collapses and is cleared away.

Suitable for all skin types

From very fair to dark skin, the YAG laser is suitable, as long as the skin isn’t tanned.

Doctor-led care

Every treatment starts with a check of your skin type and medical history, under doctors’ protocols.

How it works

Free consultation and vein assessment
A personalised plan and a clear price
A course of sessions, usually up to six

Spider veins and thread veins on the legs are very common. They show as fine red, blue or purple lines, most often on the thighs, calves and ankles, and they tend to become more noticeable over time. If you live in St Clears and would like yours to be less visible, laser treatment at our Llanelli clinic can help.

Cowell St Skin & Hair Clinic is in the centre of Llanelli. We are a doctor-led clinic registered with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales, and we have been treating clients since 2016.

Every client starts with a free consultation. There’s no pressure and no sales pitch, just an honest view of what treatment can and can’t do for you.

What Are Leg Veins?

Small red or purple veins on the legs, known as spider veins or thread veins, sit just beneath the surface of the skin and are very common. Clients from St Clears often come to us when the veins have become more noticeable with age.

They’re not usually a health concern and are often linked to family history, hormones, pregnancy, prolonged standing and ageing. Our laser treats these small surface veins, not varicose veins, which are bulging veins that need a GP or vascular specialist’s assessment.

We’re doctor-led and registered with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales, and leg vein treatment starts from £30 a session. At your consultation we’ll confirm what type of veins you have.

How Laser Leg Vein Removal Works

Our Lynton Lumina long-pulsed YAG laser, used within the NHS and approved in the NHS Supply Chain, targets the haemoglobin in the blood inside each vein. The heat this creates causes the vein to collapse.

In the weeks after, your body clears the treated vein away and it becomes far less visible. A cryo-cooler cools the skin during treatment, so no numbing injections are needed.

What Results to Expect

Leg veins fade gradually over the weeks after each session. Most people need a course of treatments, typically up to six sessions, to see a significant improvement.

Results vary with the size and depth of the veins, and treatment does not stop new veins forming in the future. We will give you an honest view of what to expect at your consultation.

We can treat all skin types. Tanned skin cannot be treated, and that includes fake tan.

What You Can Expect from Treatment

About 30 minutes: per session, depending on the area
Mild sensation: warmth or tingling, with the skin cooled throughout
A course: typically up to six sessions for a significant improvement
Settling redness: skin may look red and slightly raised for a few days
No downtime: normal activities straight away, avoiding heat for 24 to 48 hours
Honest advice: if laser isn’t right for your veins, we’ll say so first

Your Free Consultation

We’ll examine your leg veins, confirm your skin type and discuss your medical history and medication.

By the end, you’ll know if laser treatment is right for you, the number of sessions we’d suggest and the price, without any pressure to book.

To secure your appointment we take a £30 deposit. It comes off the price of your treatment, or we refund it in full if you decide not to go ahead. Please read our cancellation policy before you book.

Before and After Your Treatment

Before you come in

Come with the area clean: no make-up, perfume, deodorant, or body or face creams.
No real or fake tan on the area. Sunbeds and prolonged sun exposure are not allowed in the month before treatment, and any tan must fade completely before we can treat.
Avoid retinol creams on the area for 14 days before treatment.
Use SPF 50 on the area between treatments, or keep it covered.
Tell us about any change to your medical history, and any medication you take, including anything bought from a chemist or herbalist.
Arrive in good time, so we can cool the skin first if needed.
We may charge for an appointment that cannot go ahead because of a tan or fake tan.

After each session

The area may look red and raised and may tingle. This is normal and settles over the next few days.
If the area still feels hot at home, use a cold flannel or cool pack. Do not put ice or ice packs directly on the skin.
Occasionally there is swelling or bruising, which can last from one or two days up to one or two weeks. Swelling is usually worst one to two days after treatment. For the face, sleep with your head raised on pillows.
A bruise may appear on the treated area. It can last up to 15 days, and as it fades it may leave a brown mark that usually goes within one to three months.
Larger vessels can look darker at first. This can take up to four weeks to clear as the body reabsorbs them.
Make-up can be applied after several hours if the skin is not sore or broken. Remove it gently, without rubbing.
For 24 to 48 hours, avoid hot showers, baths, saunas, steam rooms, strenuous exercise and anything that raises your body temperature.
Wash as normal, but take cool showers and pat the skin dry. Apply aloe vera gel 3 times a day for up to a week. If it feels uncomfortable, treat it as you would sunburn.
For a month after treatment, keep the area covered or use SPF 50. Sun on treated skin can cause sunburn and dark patches.
If the skin blisters, contact us straight away. Keep the area clean and dry, do not pick it, and do not use lotions or creams on open skin.
