What is laser vein treatment?
Laser vein treatment is a non-invasive procedure that uses laser energy to target and eliminate varicose and spider veins, improving the appearance of your skin.
How does laser vein treatment work?
The laser emits focused light that heats and destroys the vein, causing it to collapse and be absorbed by the body, redirecting blood to healthier veins.
Is laser vein treatment safe?
Yes, laser vein treatment is considered safe when performed by an experienced professional, with minimal risk of complications.
What types of veins can be treated with laser therapy?
Laser treatment is effective for treating spider veins and small to medium varicose veins, typically located on the legs.
How long does a laser vein treatment session take?
A typical session lasts between 15 minutes to an hour, depending on the number and size of veins being treated.
Is laser vein treatment painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort, often described as a mild snapping or tingling sensation. Topical numbing creams can be applied for added comfort.
How many sessions are required for laser vein treatment?
The number of sessions depends on the severity of the veins, but most patients require 1-3 sessions for optimal results.
