Vein Treatment

If your skin is very light, then a 532 laser in the right hands can be very effective or a 1064 yag at the proper settings can be effective. I have treated many red leg veins successfully on the legs, but there can be no tan or darker skin color as the 532 light likes brown as much as it likes red. See a Board Certified Dermatologist or Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who treats this problem and they should improve.

Spider veins

Facial capillaries, especially the red ones respond to Laser treatment. They require multiple sessions to see the results.Spider veins of te legs Respond better to sclerotherapy, they do need 3-6 sessions. very minute vessels that remain called BLUSHES are very difficult to treat. Lasr has the better chance. Cautery leaves scars. Leg veins need a full work up to make sure that the feeder veins are treated first, then the spider veins can be treated.
