Laser Skin Care and Vein Removal: How it Works
As people age, many of them develop spider veins. If you’re one of them, you don’t have to live with the unsightly veins on your legs or anywhere else on your body anymore. Rather than tolerate your spider veins, why not get rid of them through laser skin care? If you want to get rid of spider veins, laser treatments can be an excellent solution. Laser vein removal works by sending an intense but highly localized pulse of light from a specialized laser at just the right wavelength. That light pulse is then absorbed by the color in the blood vessel, and destroys the vein so it is no longer as visible.
The Sciton Laser- Fast and Effective
The Sciton Leg Vein Laser is a safe, gentle, fast, and effective way to have laser vein removal done. While it’s generally used on smaller veins, it also works on bigger veins. This treatment is not limited to just the legs and works anywhere on the body. The majority of spider veins are seen on the legs, but they can appear other places as well. Your arms and even your torso can develop spider veins making you want to keep those areas covered. This doesn’t have to be the case anymore! Seeing your doctor about eliminating and minimizing spider veins can give you the confidence you are looking for. Laser vein removal treatments are more common today than ever before and have proven to be safe and effective!
Preparing for Your Treatment
When you’re ready to have laser skin care to get rid of spider veins, or any other skin rejuvenation procedure, some preparation is required to maximize your results from treatment. Avoid tanning, as you want there to be a strong contrast between the color of skin and the color of the vein for the laser to work effectively. You don’t want any extra tint of any kind on the skin, if possible. That includes a fake tan, too! So, avoid tanning lotions before treatment. Shave the hair at the treatment site before you arrive for treatment. This will help ensure the highest benefit from the laser and keep the hair from reducing the laser’s effectiveness. You can minimize any bruising by avoiding any anticoagulants, ibuprofen, and aspirin right before and right after your appointment. Severe pain is uncommon and most people can resume normal activities immediately following treatment.
The Results you Expect
Using IPL and Laser Rejuvenation you can drastically improve the appearance of your skin. Generally, you can expect to undergo treatment two-four times in order to see the most benefits from the vein therapy. The number of treatments varies from person to person depending on how well the treatment works on their specific veins. Some factors may include number of spider veins you have and the size of the area to be treated. Your doctor can help you estimate how many treatments you may need, and work closely with you to monitor your progress. You no longer have to live with prominent spider veins! Having them treated will not only help you look better, but can help you feel better about yourself too!
