Welcome to Erika’s Beauty Lab
Feel Confident in Your Skin
One of the most common confidence-shaking conditions we see at Erika’s Beauty Lab in Littleton, CO is varicose veins. This skin condition may make you reluctant to dress how you want to or live your life. Luckily, it doesn’t have to define your life!
Varicose veins are small and typically purple or red and appear on the surface of your skin. Our state-of-the-art laser can quickly and accurately target and destroy these veins non-invasively, without harming your skin at all. These affected veins will change color first, then completely disappear! Once they’re gone, they’re gone for good, and you can feel confident showing skin again.

Before & After
What to Expect
The Varicose Vein Reduction Process
1
Consultation
Before your laser vein removal at Erika’s Beauty Lab in Littleton, CO, you will meet with a member of our team for a consultation to discuss your individual health conditions. We will review any concerns you may have and share all relevant information you should know before scheduling your treatment.

Spider Vein Reduction Treatment
First, we apply a handheld laser against the skin covering the targeted vein. This handpiece delivers light that penetrates through the skin and into the blood inside the vein. The skin around the vein will be unaffected. As the blood absorbs the energy from the laser, the vein will begin to heat, causing the vessel’s lining to constrict and fade away from the skin’s surface and out of view. This leaves the skin clear and looking as if the veins were never visible!

Next Steps
After your laser vein removal treatment in Littleton, CO, we will discuss any follow-up or post-care instructions you need to know. In the case of more prominent veins or additional treatment areas, additional appointments may be necessarily to completely resolve the issue.
Pre-Treatment

Hydrate
Stay well-hydrated in the days leading up to your appointment.

Following your Varicose Vein Reduction in Littleton, Erika’s Beauty Lab Recommends:
Use Cold-Compress
Cool (not frozen) packs can ease any discomfort in the treated area.
No Strenuous Exercise
Avoid strenuous exercise and activity if the treatment area is sore.

Treatment may split the skin at the site of the veins. While uncommon, this is normal and will not complicate recovery. All you need to do is make sure the treatment site is kept covered with a bandage during the healing process.
