Are you a Candidate for Vascular Laser Treatments?

All skin types including tanned skin can be treated with this laser therapy. It treats a broad range of vessels from tiny spider veins to deep reticular veins ,in some cases. Varicose veins are not good candidates.

The Benefits of Vascular Laser Treatments for Veins

Often a combination of injection and laser therapy is best for treating leg veins but most often, facial veins are preferably treated with laser therapy.

What to Expect During Laser Treatment Veins

The laser sessions might be described as a stinging sensation as the pulses of energy are delivered through the laser hand-piece. Often, it is easy to visualize the immediate disappearance of the broken veins or capillaries. Larger vessels will appear darker until they are gradually absorbed. Following the treatment, the pain is minimal to non-existent.

Recovery

After a laser vein treatment, most normal activities can be resumed immediately. It is generally recommended to avoid vigorous activities such as strenuous exercise for the first 24 -24 hours after treatment . Naturally , sunscreen is advised to avoid any sun-staining but the best advice is to limit sun exposure for at least 1 week following leg vein treatments.

Results

Most patients find that 75% or more of the veins will show significant improvement within 3-6 weeks following treatment. Some will continue to disappear over the next 8-12 weeks and the rest may need additional sessions.
