They are quite a nuisance aren’t they?
Leg and facial veins are bothersome at best , unattractive at worst. Fortunately, with our class 4 ND YAG laser treatment you can make yourself look and feel a whole lot better. Depending on the size of the veins it could take several treatments or as little as only one or two.
Red, Blue or purple leg and facial veins can be a result of sun exposure ,use of oral contraception, hormone therapy, age, pregnancy or genetics.
The Laser emits a prescribed dose of energy and ‘ selectively’ targets the problem veins while sparing the surrounding areas .After treatment, the vessel will naturally disappear
It really does depend on the size and type of veins .Typically two or four treatments are required but we would advise at point of consultation on the exact amount of treatments to expect. Results can be seen from as little as two weeks to three months , again larger leg veins will take longer than small facial veins.
Treatment time varies but usually takes 15 to 30 minutes per session.
The treatment causes slight discomfort our cool air system helps to eliminate some of the discomfort caused by laser. Topical creams such as Emla can be applied 30 minutes prior to treatment this will completely numb the area
Expect to see some redness and swelling after treatment this is entirely normal and will soon heal. Normal activities can be resumed immediately see our pre and post care sheets for more details
