VEIN TREATMENTS

In recent years medical lasers have made great advancement in sophistication. Today, lasers are safely used for a wide variety of cosmetic non­ invasive treatments. Therapy treatment is extremely safe and effective on leg veins, as well as veins visible on the face, neck, and chest - just about anywhere! Laser treatment also corrects benign pigmented lesions such as age spots, birthmarks, and non-invasive treatments are increasingly popular because they involve few side effects, you can resume your regular activities immediately following treatment!

Laser Therapy treats many types of leg veins, including shallow spider veins and reticular veins.

Spider Veins are very small veins caused by a dilation of the small venules under the skin. This occurs when the pressure inside the vein increases enough to overcome normal resistance of the vein wall. The ability of veins to resist increased pressure is reduced in women when the body's estrogen level is reduced.

Reticular Veins are small, bluish-colored veins that carry blood to the skin venules and are larger than spider veins. These veins have thin walls and dilate with excessive venous pressure. When this occurs, they become large enough to be unsightly, but are not considered to be varicose veins.

Both spider veins and reticular veins respond extremely well to Laser Therapy.
