How long do results last?

Results from Leg Vein Laser Treatment can be long-lasting. However, new veins may appear over time due to factors such as genetics, hormone changes, or lifestyle. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain results.

Are there any side effects?

Is the treatment painful?

Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure. The treatment uses adequate cooling to ensure patient comfort. Some patients may experience a slight stinging sensation, but this is usually well-tolerated.

How many treatments are typically needed?



The number of treatments required varies depending on the size and number of veins being treated. Some patients may see significant improvement after just one or two sessions, while others may need multiple treatments for optimal results.

How does the Nd:YAG laser work for vein treatment?



The Nd:YAG laser emits a 1064nm wavelength that penetrates deeply into the skin. This light energy is absorbed by the blood in the targeted veins, causing them to heat up and collapse. Over time, the treated veins are reabsorbed by the body, fading from view.

What types of veins can be treated with this laser?



The Nd:YAG laser is effective for treating leg veins, port-wine stains, blue vessels, and venous lakes. It's particularly useful for deeper or thicker vascular targets that are typically found on the legs.

What is Leg Vein Laser Treatment?


