Leg Veins - Reduce leg veins by laser
About Laser Treatment for Leg Veins
Leg veins can be a bothersome cosmetic concern, typically emerging from age 26 onwards. Various factors contribute to their development, including prolonged standing, pregnancy, age, and genetic predisposition. These veins, appearing blue/purple or red, are superficial with sagging vein walls that impede proper blood flow. While their function ceases and other veins compensate, these unsightly leg veins can be safely and effectively treated without adverse consequences.
Our advanced laser technology offers a non-invasive solution to restore the smooth, clear appearance of your legs, boosting your confidence and comfort.
Treatment
Our leg vein treatment utilizes cutting-edge technology for optimal results:
1. Long-Pulsed ND: Yag 1064 nm Laser: This advanced laser specifically targets oxyhaemoglobin in the blood, effectively treating visible veins.
2. Customized Treatment Plans: We tailor the laser intensity and focus areas to your specific vein concerns and skin type.
3. Minimal Discomfort: The treatment may feel warm or slightly burning, but is generally well-tolerated.
4. Versatile Application: Effective for both small and large areas of leg veins.
During the treatment, our skilled therapist will systematically apply the laser to the affected areas, causing the vein walls to contract. Your body then naturally eliminates the treated veins over time.
Aftercare
Proper aftercare enhances your results:
- Expect redness and slight swelling for 1-2 days post-treatment.
- Treated veins may appear brighter initially before fading over several weeks.
- Keep the treated area clean and dry, and avoid hot showers or baths for 24-48 hours after the procedure.
- Wear compression stockings as directed by your doctor to promote healing and reduce swelling.
- Avoid strenuous exercise, sun exposure, and alcohol for at least a week, and walk regularly to promote circulation.
