Laser
Treatment for Leg Veins
Frequently
Asked Questions
What Are Leg
Vein Treatments?
Leg vein treatments combine safe and effective levels of laser and radiofrequency
(electric current) energies to remove leg veins and other unwanted vessels.
The leg vein treatments combine light and electric energy for ideal outcomes
and improve leg veins and vascular lesions with a very low risk of side effects.
What Can I Expect From
Leg Vein Treatments?
Leg vein treatments can improve unsightly spider veins and other unwanted
vascular lesions. Larger blue-green vessels on legs can also be treated and
will gradually fade. Facial veins can also be treated.
How Many Treatments
Are Required?
Most patients will need between 1-3 treatments.
How Often Are Treatments
Done?
Treatment sessions are typically 6-8 weeks apart. Smaller spider veins may
be treated every 4 weeks.
How Long Do Treatments
Take?
Each treatment session typically takes between 20-45 minutes.
Does The Treatment
Hurt?
The sensation may be described as a "hot pinch", like someone lightly
snapping an elastic band on your skin. Patients tolerate the treatment well
by either cooling the skin during treatment and/or use of a topical anesthetic
cream that numbs the skin.
Who Should Be Treated
With Leg Vein Treatments?
Anyone with unwanted leg veins or vascular lesions may be a candidate for
leg vein treatments. Removal of vascular lesions and veins with elos technology
(laser and radio frequency) is a safe and effective alternative for patients
who want a non-invasive approach to vascular treatment. The leg vein treatment
is the clear choice for patients who do not like needles or who have had adverse
reaction to solutions that are injected into the vein during sclerotherapy.
Your clinician will determine individual suitability for leg vein treatments
during the consultation. All treatments are administered by trained medical
professionals and/or licensed CIDESCO aestheticians.
Are There Any Risks
To Leg Vein Treatments?
ANY medical laser procedure has risks of side effects such as superficial
blistering, crusting, and pigmentary changes in the skin. These risks are
rare and usually quickly resolved. The leg vein treatments incorporate several
technological advances that focus on patient safety to minimize these risks
and provide greater satisfaction.
How Much Does It Cost?
Treatments are customized based on many factors. Cost is usually based upon
the amount of time required for treatment and will be discussed with you at
the time of your consultation.
