How does laser spider vein removal work?
Our Fotona Nd:YAG laser has a wavelength of 1064 nanometers.
This wavelength targets hemoglobin or blood. Each vessel
is traced with pulses of laser light. As the energy is
absorbed by the blood in the vessel, heat is created and
the vessel wall is destroyed. The vein will die and the
body will clear away the tissue as it would clear away
a bruise. Treatments with our Fotona Nd:YAG laser require
no anesthetics and no downtime, with very low risk of side
effects. People with all skin colors can be safely treated.
How long will it take for my veins to disappear?
Each client’s body will have its own time schedule for how
quickly veins will be reabsorbed. This could range from
days to weeks and possibly months.
How many treatments will I need?
Clients often differ in what they want out of their treatment.
Some want their veins completely gone; others may want
them to just look better. While many clients may need only
one treatment to accomplish their goal, others should expect
2 or more treatments for clearing. Treatments are usually
6 weeks to 6 months apart.
Will my treated veins come back?
Once a vein is completely dead and reabsorbed, it should
be gone. However, a person who has already made spider
veins may have the tendency to make more in the future.
Any newly developing vein can be quickly treated.
What is the cost of laser spider vein removal?
Cost will depend on how many veins you have and the time
it takes to treat them. Many clients can be treated in
as little as 15 minutes. An assessment of cost will be
determined at your free consultation.
Are there activity restrictions immediately after
treatment?
You may continue with normal daily activities; however, you
need to refrain from hot baths or exercise for 3 days. Depending
on your vessels, you may be wearing an ace wrap for 3 days
as well. These wraps may be removed for showering and reapplied
during these 3 days. These minor restrictions will enhance
your treatment result.
