Face/Leg Veins

Laser vein therapy can feel like a rubber band snap but the surface of the skin is protected and cooled by a spray before and after the laser is activated which helps to make the treatments more comfortable.  Treatments are very quick as the laser burst is less than a second and are completely tolerable.

After laser vein therapy, you may notice immediate improvement if the vessels are small.  However, for most lesions, the process is gradual as the body dissolves the collapsed vessel which can take days up to weeks to fully clear.

The number of treatments for laser vein therapy depend on the size and location of the vessel.  In general, most vessels on the face will be completely treated after the first session.  Vessels on the legs will likely need 2-3 sessions but you will see a significant improvement after the first.

It is normal to have redness and some swelling.  In some cases you may notice “welts” or “stripes” or hive type lesions which can develop immediately after treatment or within the first 24 to 48 hours after treatment.  This is a normal response to therapy.  In some cases a bruise may appear and usually disappear in under a week.  In rare cases, a dark area of pigment may occur at the treatment site which may persist for several months.
