SPIDER VEIN REMOVAL THERAPY
This non-invasive 980 Laser treatment is a safe, effective treatment for leg veins, unsightly redness and facial veins/capillaries, including; facial telangiectasias (spider veins), Rosacea, Cherry Anginomas, Port Wine Stains and birthmarks.
The laser targets hemoglobin which is colour of the blood; Laser beam catches this colour and dissolves the veins or vessel. Unfortunately, this is a painful procedure and local swelling, bruising, blistering, redness and heat in the area treated are very common.
Laser treatments are usually recommended in a series of 3 treatments depending on the client's condition. Each time a client has approximately 50% of reduction of the condition they originally came with.
Vascular lesions are a type of common skin concern, affecting up to 50% of women aged 18 years and older.1 Spider veins, telangiectasias, and diffuse redness may be systemic but are often a result of aging, sun damage or pregnancy. Today, more than 45M individuals are affected by rosacea2, a chronic skin condition. Often mistaken for sunburn or rosy skin, rosacea presents with redness, visible blood vessels and tiny red bumps that can be compared to acne and often worsens over time.
Lasers and light-based devices enable providers to effectively treat superficial and deep vascular lesions on the face and body.

What areas of the skin surface can be treated with Vascular Laser?
Virtually any area of the body that bothers you can be treated including facial areas such as around the nose and eyes, the mouth, cheeks and chin with speed and minimal discomfort
What desired results can be expected?
Often, our clients find that one treatment is sufficient for their vein removal needs (in small areas, such as on or around the nose). However, for optimal results, multiple treatments may be necessary for larger areas such as the legs or if there are excessive dilated capillaries over the cheeks. If a vein goes completely away with treatment, it should not return, but occasionally the body reopens the vessel before it is completely reabsorbed or the vessel only partially responds.
Because of this we recommend that most people need 1 to 2 treatments that are 8-12 weeks apart
Is Laser spider vein removal safe?
With the laser treatments, there is some discomfort during the procedure that we try to minimize as best we can with our laser cooling tip. After the procedure is over, there is no discomfort.
There may be small pink bumps that resemble mosquito bites that can last a day or two, and the area may be sensitive to very hot water for up to 48hrs after the treatment.
Uncommonly, a skin wound such as superficial blisters and scabs can occur, which heal within 2 days to 14 days. Use of antibiotic ointment on a regular basis usually results in uneventful healing. There is a <0.5% possibility of a skin wound leaving behind a permanent scar
