Laser Vein Therapy

The Spectrum Laser delivers pulses of light energy which cause the blood within the vein to coagulate, eventually destroying the vessel which is later reabsorbed by your body. Blood flow will the be redirected to veins deeper below your skin's surface, where it should be.

Blood Blisters or "Hemangiomas" respond very well to the Spectrum Laser treatment. Usually with just one treatment. Patients with port wine stains and other vascular lesions who have given up on finding a solution have been overwhelmed by the success of their Spectrum Laser treatment.

Most patients experience a stinging sensation as the pulses of energy are delivered through the hand piece. Following the treatment, the pain is minimal to nonexistent.

All veins from all parts of the body. Small facial veins can be treated quickly without bruising or complication. Spider veins and large blue leg veins can also be treated with excellent results. Knotty varicose veins are NOT good candidates. A careful evaluation and consultation will help you determine which vessels can be treated and the best course of treatment.

Often, patients find that one or two treatments are sufficient. However, the number of treatments necessary depends on the number, color, and size of the vessels being treated.

Following your treatment, some redness or bruising may occur. When larger veins are treated, a tan or brownish pigment may persist for a few weeks or month following treatment. Patients who have leg vein treatments may be advised to wear support hose for a short period of time.
