Vein Treatment
Millions of people of all skin colors suffer from unsightly red, purple and blue spider and varicose veins. Laser vein treatment is highly successful in safely diminishing and eliminating these troublesome veins.
Spider veins (not to be confused with varicose veins) are dilated or stretched blood vessels that have branching pattern and are commonly found on the thigh, lower leg and occasionally on the face. Spider veins are progressive in nature and usually increase in number and visibility with age.
What causes spider and varicose veins?
Heredity, hormones, pregnancy, menopause, lack of movement, obesity, sun exposure, aging and trauma are some of the contributing factors. Although these veins do carry blood, most of them are unnecessary and can be safely removed. Left untreated, varicose veins may grow and cause serious health problems.
How long does it take?
The amount of time needed depends on the number, size and depth of veins being treated. Typical sessions take 30-60 minutes. Multiple treatments have be needed for optimal results.
Will it hurt?
Some patients describe a slight burning when the laser bursts, but most experience very little discomfort.
How long will the results last?
More than one treatment is often required, since all the veins will not respond to the first treatment. Also, since spider veins are a progressive condition, you can expect new spider veins to form over time, which may require treatment every few years to maintain the improvement.
