Laser Treatment Spider Veins

Do you have a problem with spider veins? You know, those small, thin veins that lie close to the surface of the skin. These veins have a spider shape with a number of veins stretching outward from a dark central point. Or they could imitate a pattern that looks like small branch-like shapes, although sometimes they appear like thin separate lines or like a sunburst or cartwheel that are found mostly on the inner knee or the outer thigh area. If you these little creatures present on your body and would like to get rid of them, then you should try laser treatment spider veins or EVLT.

Spider Veins Laser Treatment

With the advanced technology of lasers, treatment of spider veins and deeper, reticular veins can be done relatively easily right in the cosmetic surgeon's office. Lasers are extremely safe and effective on leg veins, as well as veins visible on the face, neck, and chest. The treatments cause very few side effects and you can resume your regular activities immediately following the procedure.

The number of treatments will be determined during your consultation and depends on the size of the vein and your body's ability to heal. Treatment time lasts from 15 to 30 minutes. During the procedure, the laser's heat damages the vein walls and causes the body to induce a healing process. Once healed, the veins shrink and become less visible or in optimal results, disappear altogether.

Generally there are no side effects, but swelling and minor bruising can occur. Due to only mild pain associated with the treatment, normal activities may be resumed immediately. It is also advised to limit sun exposure to minimize the risk of complications.
