Leg Vein Removal

How Laser Leg Vein Removal Works?

Laser and Pulsed Light treatments are currently used as an alternative to or in addition to sclerotherapy treatment for small veins or spider veins. These lasers operate on the same principle -  a light beam is pulsed into the veins in order to seal them off.  The heating of the blood causes the blood vessel to constrict and eventually dissolve, fading from view.  Several laser vein treatments are usually needed for the best results.

What Can I Expect During and After Treatment?

An IPL leg vein removal treatment is safe, painless and incurs no down-time. The laser will be placed over the leg vein and as the light pulses into the vein you will feel a mild sensation on the skin that feels similar to a light rubber band snap. There will be an audible tone while the laser is working to remove the vein and a small flash in light. After a leg vein treatment the vessels will darken and then disappear or shrink. You may experience pinkness and mild swelling for up to 72 hours following the procedure.
