Laser Vein Removal 1064 LP Yag Laser

Which type of veins can Laser treat?

Laser Vein Removal with the 1064 LP Yag Laser treats many types of leg
veins, including shallow spider veins and reticular veins.

Spider Veins are very 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 veins to resist increased 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 be unsightly, but are not considered to be varicose veins.

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

Who are candidates for treatment?

Men and women may be treated. Light and dark-skinned individuals can now safely and effectively benefit from Laser Therapy. Patients on blood thinners or with serious illness generally are not candidates for treatment. Patients with dark suntans or photosensitivity disorders, diabetes, bleeding disorders, or currently taking photosensitizing medications are not good candidates.

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, normally 2-3 treatments is enough for good results.

What does the treatment involve?

Treatment may vary from 30 minutes to 90 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 Treatment. The 1064 LP Yag 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 normal 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.
