Millions of women are bothered by unsightly spider veins which make them feel embarrassed to wear shorts, skirts, or swimsuits. In the past, this problem could only be solved through painful procedures and surgery, but those days are mercifully over.
Spider veins, or telangiectasias, are that small red, blue and purple blood vessels that appear most frequently on the face and thighs. Laser Vein Removal is a non-invasive procedure known as VascuLight laser treatment.
Lasers deliver concentrated light in a specific wavelength of the spectrum. Each wavelength is absorbed by a different target or chromophore, such as pigment, blood, or water. The light pulses heat the blood within the leg vein. The heat of the blood affects the vessel lining, which causes the vessel to constrict and eventually fade from view. This same technology can also be used to remove or reduce unwanted facial veins. It is necessary to shave the treatment area immediately before beginning laser treatment.
The number of treatments required varies with the size and depth of each vein. For maximum long-term resolution, multiple treatments may be necessary. However, if new veins appear, additional treatments are required. Treatments may be in 3 – 4 week intervals. Often more than three treatments are necessary to achieve full clearance of leg veins.
