Laser Treatment
Laser treatment is a non-invasive procedure used to effectively eliminate spider or thread veins. This treatment utilizes focused light energy to target and destroy the small blood vessels without harming the surrounding skin, leading to a clearer and more even skin tone.
Anaesthesia
Topical anaesthesia may be applied for comfort, although it is often not necessary.
Side Effects
Possible temporary redness, swelling, or bruising in the treated area, which typically resolves quickly.
Treatment Time
Approximately 30-60 minutes, depending on the number of veins treated.
Target Areas
Commonly performed on the face, legs, and other areas with visible spider veins.
Downtime
Minimal; patients can usually resume normal activities immediately after treatment.
