Laser Vein Removal

How does the treatment work?

The laser emits a specialized light that is absorbed by the blood found in veins. The laser causes the vein to close and be absorbed by the body.

How many treatments are required?

The majority of the treated veins will disappear within two to three treatments, which are administered in three to four week intervals. Additional treatments may be necessary to achieve the maximum long-term effect. New veins may appear with time and require additional treatments.

Is Laser Vein Removal safe?

Laser therapy is safe and has few possible complications. Common side effects include bruising, redness and discomfort around the treated area. These effects are not dangerous and resolve over time.
