LEG VEINS TREATMENT
Reduce visible leg veins safely with medical-grade Nd:YAG laser
Many people develop visible veins on their legs over time. These may appear as fine red or purple thread veins on the surface or slightly deeper blue vessels. They are usually harmless, but they can affect confidence, especially in warmer weather or when wearing dresses or shorts.
At Beyoo Medical Aesthetics in Lancaster, we treat unwanted leg veins using medical-grade Nd:YAG laser technology in a calm, clinical setting, with an experienced skin and laser therapist and nurse-led oversight. The goal is simple: clearer looking legs, with safe, natural results.
Book your leg vein consultation in Lancaster to have your veins assessed and find out if laser treatment is suitable for you.
Why patients seek help
Patients often tell us they feel self-conscious about showing their legs, particularly in summer or on holiday. Some notice that small veins have gradually appeared after pregnancy, exercise or prolonged standing.
Common concerns include:
- Fine red or purple thread veins on the thighs, knees or calves
- Blue or greenish veins visible just under the skin
- Clusters of spider veins that spread gradually over time
- Wanting smoother, clearer skin and confidence in bare legs
These veins are very common and can be treated safely and effectively with the right laser approach.
If you’ve been covering your legs because of thread veins, book an assessment and we’ll talk you through your options.
What causes leg veins
Leg veins develop when small surface blood vessels become enlarged or weakened.
- Genetics: a family tendency to visible veins
- Hormones: pregnancy and menopause can increase risk
- Prolonged standing or sitting: increases pressure in leg veins
- Sun exposure: can thin the skin and make vessels more noticeable
- Ageing: gradual loss of collagen makes vessels more visible
Although they are common, they can be improved dramatically with the right laser treatment.
Treatment options at Beyoo
Nd:YAG Laser Vein Removal for the Legs
Our medical-grade Nd:YAG laser is designed to treat vascular concerns safely and effectively. The light energy targets the vein directly without harming the surrounding skin. The vessel heats, collapses and is gradually reabsorbed by the body, leaving the surface clearer.
Laser treatment is suitable for:
- Fine to moderate red or purple thread veins
- Blue surface veins that do not require surgical intervention
- Veins on the thighs, calves, ankles and backs of the knees
Treatment time: 20 to 45 minutes depending on the area
Downtime: mild redness or warmth for 24 to 48 hours
Results: gradual improvement as veins fade over several weeks
Most patients need a course of three to six sessions for the best results, spaced four to six weeks apart.
What to expect
- Consultation: Your treatment begins with a consultation with our experienced skin and laser therapist. We will assess your veins, discuss your medical history and confirm that laser treatment is suitable for you. If your veins appear raised, painful or complex, we may recommend a GP or vascular referral before treatment.
- Treatment: The Nd:YAG laser is applied to the affected veins. You may feel brief warmth or light stinging as the energy is delivered. The procedure is quick and comfortable, and no anaesthetic is needed.
- Aftercare: You can return to normal daily activities straight after treatment. We advise avoiding hot baths, vigorous exercise and direct sun exposure for 48 hours. Compression tights may be recommended to support healing.
Recovery & results
Mild redness or swelling may appear for 24 to 48 hours. Some veins darken before fading gradually as the body naturally reabsorbs them.
Most patients see visible improvement within a few weeks, with continued fading over time. For best results, a course of treatments and occasional maintenance sessions are advised.
Results are long-lasting, but new veins can develop over the years due to genetics, hormones or lifestyle.
Safety & reassurance
All leg vein treatments are performed by our experienced skin and laser therapist, using a medical-grade Nd:YAG laser under the supervision of our nurse prescriber and medical team.
Your comfort and safety come first. Every patient receives a full consultation and assessment before treatment to ensure suitability and achieve the most natural result possible.

Frequently asked questions
