Everything you need to know about Leg Veins
Unlike varicose veins, which can cause leg ulcers and other medical complications, small leg veins are just seen as a cosmetic problem. These small, dilated blood vessels are extremely common but can be socially embarrassing and restrict clothing choices.
leg thread vein removal
A method is currently available to treat smaller leg vein threads: laser treatment.
Laser treatment is suited to some very small veins which are not injectable. Lasers to treat spider veins in the legs work by producing powerful light. If the wavelength of the system is matched to a target colour (such as the red cells in blood), the energy of the laser is absorbed specifically by that target and minimally by the surrounding tissues. The laser delivers a series of focused energy pulses generating heat for very short periods of time; this closes down the thread veins, without perforating them. The collapsed veins are gradually dissolved and removed by the body’s immune system over several weeks following the treatment. The laser is fired in short bursts, which feels like a hot pin-prick. Before, during and/or following treatment the skin is cooled which reduces this sensation and a cooling gel applied.
During your initial consultation a treatment plan will be formulated to advise you of the best leg thread vein removal treatment for your leg thread veins.
