This intense pulse light therapy technique of treating spider veins uses intense pulsed light that can be used to selectively damage or destroy abnormal veins including small spider veins and small vascular birthmarks.
Unlike laser, the intense light therapy is more suited for vascular lesions slightly deeper in the skin. This treatment may be recommended when sclerotherapy or laser therapy does not effectively treat the superficial vein. Two to four treatments may be required depending on the number and size of the lesions.
Pulsed light is a non-invasive form of light therapy that is specifically designed to eliminate undesired blood vessels from all parts of the body. The pulse light generates a pulse of intense, concentrated energy which is directed through a hand piece to the blood vessel underneath the skin.
About Vein Center of LouisianaAt Vein Center Louisiana, a Lafayette varicose veins center, patients are treated with a variety of vascular treatment options which help to remove spider veins and varicose veins, both of which can interfere with proper vascular function. Individuals suffering with vascular disease often note discomfort, itching in the area, or a heaviness in the area. Patients also notice the dysfunctional vein as it often becomes readily visible beneath the skin appearing distorted and enlarged.
At Vein Centers of Louisiana, Dr. James Ingram consults with each patient to personally ensure that questions are answered and that a satisfactory and effective treatment plan is negotiated. Patients are treated with injection-based treatments and laser-based treatments, both of which are non-invasive and highly effective options for a number of different vascular concerns. Patients are treated with ultrasound guided treatments as well, which helps to enhance accuracy and effectiveness of treatments.
