Laser Vein Therapy & Sclerotherapy
Today, lasers are safely used for a wide variety of cosmetic non-invasive treatments. This exciting treatment is extremely safe and effective on leg veins, as well as veins visible on the face, neck, and chest - just about anywhere! Laser Therapy also treats benign pigmented lesions such as age spots, birthmarks, and tattoos. These non-invasive treatments are increasingly popular because there are very few side effects, and you can resume your regular activities immediately following treatment!
Which type of veins can Laser Therapy treat?
Laser Therapy treats many types of leg veins, including shallow spider veins and reticular veins.
Spider Veins are very small veins caused by a dilation of the small venules under the skin. This occurs when the pressure inside the vein increases enough to overcome normal resistance of the vein wall. The ability of veins to resist increased pressure is reduced in women when the body's estrogen level is reduced.
Reticular Veins are small, bluish-colored veins that carry blood to the skin venules and, therefore, are larger. These veins have thin walls and dilate with excessive venous pressure. When this occurs, they become large enough to be unsightly, but are not considered to be varicose veins.
Spider veins and reticular veins respond extremely well to Laser Therapy.
Sclerotherapy for the treatment of leg veins
Sclerotherapy was developed over 75 years ago and at present is one of the most prevalent treatments for spider and varicose veins.
During the treatment, a sclerosing agent is injected into the vein through a tiny needle. Treatment can last from 50 minutes to 45 minutes, depending on the number of veins treated in a particular session. Upon injection, the solution replaces the blood in the vein, generating irritation and corrosion to the walls of the vessel. The body then initiates the natural healing process and the vein begins to decompose, shrink and eventually disappear.

Who are candidates for treatment?
Men, women, and children have been successfully treated. Treatments are customized according to hair color, texture and body location. Nearly all hair colors - black, brown, and red - can be treated. Treatment is effective on all skin types, including dark-skinned individuals of all ethnic origins. To find out if you are a candidate, ask to schedule a consultation.
What is treatment like?
First, the area to be treated is cleansed and the hair is shaved. The laser produces a beam of highly concentrated light. Without damaging the surrounding tissue, controlled pulses of light penetrate the skin and are absorbed by the hair follicles. The heat damages or destroys the potential for regrowth. After treatment the area is cleansed and a sunscreen is applied. Large areas such as backs, shoulders, abdomens, and legs can be treated quickly. Facial areas such as the lip, chin, and beard can be treated in minutes.
