Treatment of spider/varicose veins by laser
The removal of spider and small varicose veins by laser therapy is safe, effective and non-surgical. The laser is applied to the vein to be removed, delivering a series of light pulses to that vein. These pulses are able to target specific blood vessels without harming any surrounding tissue. The blood vessels in the spider veins are gently heated by the light pulses, which cause the blood to clot. This in turn causes the blood vessel to collapse and the blood becomes reabsorbed by the body as part of a natural healing process. The procedure takes just a few minutes and does not involve any incisions to the skin. It is non-invasive treatment and virtually pain free too. The procedure has been described as “a gentle burning sensation along the vein followed by a sharp pinch at the end” as the vein is sealed.
Larger veins can be treated by injections.
