Laser Vein Removal
 |  |  |  |  |  |
The Aesthetic Laser Treatment Center can successfully treat a wide range of unsightly vascular lesions, from fine facial
veins, spider veins and vascular birth marks. The treatments are non-invasive, fast, safe and effective. Because there
are no painful injections or incisions, patients can resume normal activities within minutes of treatment.
Will laser therapy work on my leg veins?
Although there is no way to tell for sure which veins will respond, a consultation with the Doctor to evaluate and access your veins
will be required. Prior surgery or treatment on your veins could affect the treatment outcome. In some cases, further testing may
be recommended to determine if there are underlying venous problems.
What does it feel like?
Although many patients report little or no discomfort, some may experience a mild stinging sensation only when the laser pulse is
delivered. The cold tip on the hand piece helps soothe the skin as the laser is delivered.
How long will the treatment take?
Treatment time should be 15 to 30 minutes but may vary depending on the number and size of the vessel(s) to be treated.
How many treatments will I need?
In many cases, significant improvement is realized in as a few as 1 to 3 treatments. In some cases new spider veins may appear
therefore, additional treatments may be necessary. Treatments may occur at 4 week intervals.
When can I resume normal activities?
Although we encourage you to resume normal activities almost immediately, we do ask that you refrain from vigorous exercise and
avoid hot tubs for at least 24 hours post treatment. Also avoid direct sun exposure after treatment and if you do go in the sun,
protect the treated area with a minimum SPF 30 Sun Block (not sunscreen).
What will the laser do to the veins?
When treating vascular lesions, the blood temperature at the targeted area is elevated to a level that causes coagulation without
damage to the epidermis or surrounding tissue. Because the laser energy is absorbed by melanin in the epidermis, as well as the
desired target of hemoglobin, the epidermal-cooling feature integrated in the hand piece is used to reduce the temperature rise in
the epidermis. Multiple treatments may be necessary to obtain a satisfactory response for some leg veins.
