Proven to deliver excellent clinical and aesthetic results, laser treatment for vein diseases is one of the options we offer. The treatment is minimally invasive, causes no scarring and has a relatively short recovery period.

Treatment
The treatment area is locally anesthetized. A burst of light is emitted into the treatment area and absorbed by the blood vessels in the skin. These blood vessels are coagulated and then reabsorbed by the body during the natural healing process. Treatment sessions may vary from 15 to 30 minutes and multiple treatments may be required depending on individual conditions.

Recovery
Following laser treatment, patients are required to wear a compression stocking for one to two weeks to sustain vein pressure. Walking is encouraged immediately after the procedure and normal activity can be resumed within 24 hours. However, vigorous physical activity should be avoided until complete healing has occurred. Mild bruising or swelling might occur but will subside gradually. Limiting sun exposure will further reduce the risk of complications. The results from laser treatment are long lasting, but the condition might re-occur due to prolonged sun exposure or genetic developments.
