Spider Veins
Laser treatment for spider veins is an efficient and non-invasive procedure involving the application of laser energy to heat and close damaged veins. This procedure offers an effective solution if you are looking to reduce the appearance of spider veins and improve the overall appearance of your skin.
How does it work?
This process uses specific wavelengths and pulse durations to ensure precise depth control without causing harm to surrounding skin or internal tissues During the procedure, the laser is placed directly on the skin, and you may feel a minor sensation as the beam is activated. Particularly effective for superficial spider veins, the laser breaks up blood vessels, causing them to shrink, ultimately being absorbed by the body.
