What are the benefits?

Our advanced technology minimizes the redness and bruising normally associated with traditional treatments. Best of all, our technology allows us to treat people of any ethnic origin and skin type including tanned skin.

How does it work?

The laser energy is absorbed by the pigment in your blood and collapses the unwanted vein. The laser energy is delivered through a hand-held device with a cooling tip that protects your skin. These laser treatments are used in conjunction with vein injections which destroy the deeper vessels which feed the spider veins.

When will you see results?

The appearance of leg veins will either dramatically fade or completely disappear during the treatment. Some vessels may show temporary swelling that will subside after a few hours to a few days. The redness of the treated vessels will gradually disappear as the healing process occurs. This may take up to 12 weeks.

How often can you have it done?

Most patients see excellent improvement after just two treatments. Everyone responds differently to treatments, with some needing only one treatment and others requiring a few more. You can optimize your results by closely following the post treatment instructions. The usual treatment interval is 8 to 12 weeks.

Are there any side effects?

Immediately following the procedure you may experience some redness in the treated area. The redness usually dissipates within one to three days. Also, although it is not the intended purpose of this particular treatment, hair growth may be impaired in the treated area. Veins may also convert to a “cat-scratch” scab for 2-3 weeks.

Post treatment Instructions:

Avoid extensive sun exposure. Cold compresses may be applied to reduce swelling. If blistering occurs, apply Hydrocortisone 1% or antibiotic ointment in a thin layer as directed twice a day. Wear compression stockings continuously for 3-5 days. Do not exercise for 3 days after treatment. Do not take hot showers, baths, or use a hot tub or sauna for 5 days after treatment.
