LASER VEIN REMOVAL

How does the laser work?

With a beam of light, the laser can deliver a prescribed dose of energy to the spider veins. The laser “selectively” coagulates the problem veins, while sparing surrounding areas. After treatment, the vessel slowly and naturally disappears.

How many treatments are required?

Results are seen within one to three weeks. Typically, one to two treatments are recommended.

Can we be sure that this will work on my veins?

This is something that must be determined with each client individually. Generally, all small red veins of the face and upper body achieve very good results.

What are the side effects?

There is some minor discomfort associated with this laser treatment. Most patients describe the sensation as a series of hot rubber band snaps or pricks to the skin. We can often reduce or eliminate this by cooling the treated area with an air cooling device.

Any redness or swelling that appears will disappear within a few days and patients can resume normal activities immediately.
