How many treatments are required?

The number of treatments necessary to resolve your vein problem depends on the size of the vein and your body's ability to heal. During your consultation, an approximate number of treatments will be recommended.

What does the treatment involve?

Treatment may vary from 15 to 30 minutes. As a result of treatment, the walls of the veins are damaged by the heat of the laser. The body then begins the healing process. The veins shrink and become less visible or disappear altogether. Medical studies have documented exceptional results on veins with Laser Therapy. Laser Therapy allows customized treatment of virtually every small vein disorder, including deep veins and veins that do not respond to other treatment methods.

What are the side effects and is there "down time"?

The beauty of this treatment is there is no down time involved. You can resume regular activities immediately. Pain is generally mild. Swelling and mild bruising can occur, but most always resolve over time. Limiting sun exposure will greatly minimize the risk of complications.

Which type of veins can Laser Therapy treat?

Laser Therapy treats many types of leg veins, including shallow spider veins and reticular veins.

Spider veins are small veins caused by a dilation of the small venules under the skin. This occurs when the pressure inside the vein increases enough to overcome normal resistance of the vein wall. The ability of the veins to resist pressure is reduced in women when the body's estrogen level is reduced.

Reticular veins are small, bluish-colored veins that carry blood to the skin venules and, therefore, are larger. These veins have thin walls and dilate with excessive venous pressure. When this occurs, they become large enough to become unsightly, but are not considered to be varicose veins.

Spider veins and reticular veins respond extremely well to Laser Therapy.
