Vein Therapy
Vein therapy is a non-intrusive procedure to reduce and eliminate the spider veins and broken capillaries that appear on your legs. Although the Light Sheer Diode Laser is designed for permanent hair removal, it is also used to treat spider veins and age or sun spots.
The laser is placed on top of the vein and treatment begins. Light energy will be emitted from the laser which is absorbed by the blood in spider veins and converted to heat. This heat dissolves the cells that create the color and will shrink the vessels themselves. Vessels may disappear immediately after treatment or they may fully or partially fade within 10-14 days.
The tip of the laser will feel cool to the touch. It cools the skin during the treatment and protects the skin. This is due to the chill tip technology on the Light Sheer which makes this laser unique and very comfortable.
