Results are gradual and will continue to improve over a 4 week period.

We use lasers to target the underlying vascular feeding system, not the surface layers of the lesion.

Vein removal, also known as vein treatment or vein therapy, encompasses various medical procedures designed to address and eliminate problematic veins within the body. Commonly targeted veins include varicose veins and spider veins, which can cause discomfort, aesthetic concerns, or more serious health issues.

Vein removal procedures vary depending on the type and severity of the veins being treated. Common methods include:

1. Sclerotherapy: A liquid or foam solution is injected into the vein, causing it to collapse and eventually fade from view.
2. Laser therapy: A laser is used to deliver concentrated light energy to the vein, causing it to collapse and gradually disappear.
3. Radiofrequency ablation: A thin catheter is inserted into the vein, delivering radiofrequency energy to heat and close off the vein.
4. Endovenous ablation: Similar to radiofrequency ablation, this procedure uses either laser or radiofrequency energy to seal off problematic veins from within.
5. Surgical interventions: In more severe cases, surgical procedures such as vein stripping or phlebectomy may be performed to physically remove the affected veins.

The choice of treatment method depends on factors such as the size, location, and extent of the veins being treated, as well as the patient's overall health and preferences. Your healthcare provider will assess your specific condition and recommend the most suitable treatment option for you.
