What is Laser Veins Removal?
Laser veins removal is a procedure to remove or reduce varicose or spider veins on the face or body. The procedure is carried out with a laser that produces intense pulses of light to treat the veins.
How is Laser Veins Removal carried out?
The technician directs pulses of light from a laser into the area to be treated.
The energy from the laser is absorbed into the blood vessel and causes the vessel walls to collapse and seal together.
The varicose vein is eventually absorbed by the body.
Who is a suitable candidate for Laser Veins Removal?
Veins removal using laser is most suitable for varicose and thread veins that are less than 4mm in size.
