Laser Treatment Of Leg Veins

Laser treatments can effectively address spider veins in the legs. Laser surgery sends very strong bursts of light onto the vein, which makes the vein slowly fade and disappear. Lasers are very direct and accurate, so the proper laser controlled by a skilled doctor will usually only treat the necessary areas. Lasers can treat blemishes on most skin types and colors. Some patients prefer laser surgery because it does not require needles or incisions. Still, when the laser beam touches the skin, the patient will feel a sometimes-painful sensation of heat. Cooling helps reduce the pain. Laser treatments last for 15 to 20 minutes. It takes two to five treatments to remove spider veins in the legs depending on the severity of the veins.
