ND YAG Veins & Capillaries

Removal for legs

As we age, valves in our leg veins become less efficient, so less blood is pumped back from the legs. This means blood vessels in our legs become larger, darker and more visible. In severe cases, varicose veins may form and may require surgical treatment (vein stripping). Other vessels can be treated by injections (sclerotherapy). Smaller vessels (leg telangiectasias) are often treated by laser, such as the Gentle Nd YAG laser.

Frequently asked questions

How Does The Vein Removal Treatment Work?

Leg vein treatment uses a precisely calculated pulse of laser energy, exactly directed to the vessel being treated. This causes the blood inside the vessel to heat up, causing the wall of the vessel to collapse. The vessel is reabsorbed naturally by your white blood cells. The skin surrounding the vessel is not affected by the treatment.

Who Can Be Treated Using The Vein Removal Treatment?

Any skin type can be treated; however it does depend on the size of your leg vessels and also your medical history.

Does The Vein Removal Treatment Hurt?

Gentle lasers use patented cryogen cooling to minimize discomfort and protect the surrounding skin. Most people find that treatment of smaller vessels is practically PAIN FREE. Even treatment of larger vessels is only moderately uncomfortable and it’s over with very quickly, the results are worth it!

When Can I See My Results From Vein Removal?

Smaller vessels can disappear immediately after treatment, larger ones fade away more gradually over the next few weeks. Normally clients experience a little redness and or swelling (this can last for 2 days) in the treated area. Rarely, blood may collect in the treated vessel. In this case your practitioner will most likely request that you call back two days after your treatment 

How Many Sessions Do I Need For Vein Removal?

This depends on the number of vessels to be treated. We usually recommend 1-3 sessions
