Can Gentle YAG Replace Sclerotherapy/
Candela's
Gentle YAG laser system has started to become widely used for a variety of skin treatments but is only just
beginning to be explored as a possible replacement for sclerotherapy. In the past, the only viable option for removing spider veins was sclerotherapy. Gentle YAG opens up the options to make spider vein removal a quicker, easier procedure.
In comparison with sclerotherapy, Gentle YAG is a more convenient option which gives more flexibility to you in terms of treatment. With sclerotherapy, attention needs to be paid to the timing of the treatments and summer is a bad time for them because of the tanning of the skin which normally happens during these months. Gentle YAG lasers don't use the same technology as sclerotherapy and are safe for use during the summer months which is an ideal time for many people to consider such treatments.
Additionally, Gentle YAG requires fewer treatments to get rid of the unsightly spider veins. This means that you have more flexibility in scheduling your treatments and it costs you less in time spent at the doctor. Because of the ease of Gentle YAG treatment for veins in comparison with sclerotherapy, you may also be able to save on treatment costs.
