What Is Laser Vein Treatment?
Laser vein treatment is a nonsurgical procedure that focuses on the skin to treat affected veins. Laser vein treatment is an effective procedure for treating spider veins and tiny varicose veins just under the skin’s surface. Often, more than one laser session is required to achieve optimal results and they are scheduled every four week*s as prescribed by Dr Omarjee. If a patient has poor blood circulation feeding these tiny veins, the larger ‘feeder’ vein must be treated first with laser treatment. At The DOC Clinic, Dr Omarjee and his dedicated team, utilise a range of different technologies and applications to treat various vein conditions. Dr Omarjee has recently welcomed a number of new lasers including the Nd: YAG laser.
Are There Any Associated Side Effects?
Side effects associated with laser vein treatment are usually minor and may include:
- Pain during the actual treatment is normal, but can be reduced by contact cooling and a topical anaesthetic may be applied.
- Redness, swelling and itching, immediately following the procedure may last a few days* after treatment.
- Bruising is said to affect up to 10% of patients. However, this also fades on its own.
How Many Laser Vein Treatments Can I Expect To Achieve My Desired Results?
Treatment time depends on the form, size and location of the vascular lesions, as well as the skin type of the patient. Typically, smaller vessels can be removed in one to three sessions*, however, for larger veins, both spider and varicose veins, several sessions* may be required for patients to achieve their desired results.
