Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is effective for treatment of spider veins and reticular veins. Without an incision a beam of laser light is transmitted through your skin to the targeted vein. The energy causes the blood to coagulate and transmits thermal or heat energy to the wall of the vein. This process causes the vein to collapse and seal off, thereby eliminating the varicose vein. The blood that previously flowed through the varicose vein is redirected to healthy veins.
The laser's parameters are specially designed to match your skin type, assuring exceptionally exact and gentle treatment with no damage to the overlying skin. Clinical trials conducted by leading authorities on laser light document its safety and effectiveness. Patients of all skin colors can be treated.
Though there may be some discomfort, generally described as a rubber band snap, a cooling device is used to minimize the soreness. This treatment is frequently used in conjunction with other treatment modalities, such as sclerotherapy, to achieve optimal results. Temporary bruising and darkening of the skin may result and will disappear in several days or weeks. It usually takes two to six weeks before a response is seen and it may take several months to see final results. More than one treatment is generally needed.
