FDA Approved Spider Vein Treatment
How Does It Work?
Laser light is delivered through the skin and to the vein. After heating, the vein walls collapse and seal shut. The sealed vein is then broken down and absorbed by the body.
Who Would Be Appropriate For Treatment?
Treatments are effective for most individuals, including those with darker or tanned skin. Treatments work best on smaller veins. Consult with your physician to determine if your veins are appropriate for treatment.
Is the Treatment Painful?
Discomfort varies depending on the size and location of the vein. Many describe each laser pulse as feeling the snap of a rubber band against the skin. As there can be moderate discomfort, your physician may offer an anesthetic gel to reduce any pain.
How Long Do the Results Last?
The appearance of existing veins will be diminished or completely eliminated. However, the development of new veins cannot be prevented. If your body has an underlying vascular problem, you may need additional treatments
