How many treatments are needed

Many leg veins need multiple treatments, often over a few months before the effect is complete. Even small vessels often require time to resolve. Typically, you can expect three sessions or more to achieve the appearance you desire.
 

What is a treatment like? Is it painful

A pulse of laser energy feels like a pinch similar to a snapped rubber band. Most patients describe a tingling sensation during the brief time the laser is actually firing. However, because we offer cooling gel and for the sensitive patient, topical anesthetic cream, you are quite comfortable during treatments.

Are these vein treatments permanent

The removal of spider and reticular leg veins is not an exact science. Most patients achieve a significant reduction in the appearance of their veins and are very satisfied with the treatments. Of course, aging begins the moment the treatment ends. In addition, other factors such as standing and genetics continue. We recommend a single yearly treatment to "clean up" any new veins that appear.
 

What kind of results should I expect

Some immediate improvement is typically visible, with the leg veins, blotches and/or blemishes disappearing over two to three weeks. Complications, such as scarring, bleeding and pigment loss, are very rare. Most patients return to their regular routines quickly with virtually no after-care required. However, you may experience some redness around the treated area, similar in appearance to a mild sunburn. This usually goes away in a few days.
 

Are the vein treatments safe

There are a few uncommon risks associated with both laser leg vein therapy. These include pigment changes and blistering. However, We are specially trained in the use of the lasers, the occurrence of these events when doing leg vein treatments is rare. Additionally, your eyes will be shielded during all treatments.
