Spider veins are small blue and purple blood vessels on the legs and face which can be caused by many different factors including: pregnancy, age, trauma, or heredity. Allure Laser Treatment provides Tallahassee, Thomasville, & surrounding North Florida South Georgia areas with a quick and safe way to eliminate these vessels leaving your face and legs looking smooth and beautiful again. Allure uses two ways to remove spider veins- laser vein treatment or sclerotherapy (saline injections).

The Cynosure ND:Yag is the latest laser technology used to treat spider veins. The hand-held device produces a 1064 nm wavelength that is almost completely transparent to the skin and is highly absorbed in the blood. This allows the laser beam to pass through the skin and penetrate the targeted vessels, causing the blood inside the vessel to coagulate and the vessel walls to collapse and seal. These vessels are then dissolved within the body.

Tallahassee, Crawfordville, Woodville, Havana & Thomasville areas did you know Laser spider vein therapy is a faster, gentler way to remove unwanted spider veins with great results. The laser applies precisely controlled pulses or energy (electrical and light energy) reaching into the spider vein that is beneath the skin.

The Cynosure system contains a tissue surface-cooling device, which continuously blows cold air on the skin surface at the site of the coming laser impact. This reduces the pain of the laser pulse. Some say the laser pulse feels like a rubber band being sprung on your skin.

A common method of treating spider veins in the legs and ankles is with sclerotherapy. In this treatment, saline solution is injected into each affected vein, causing the vein to collapse and fade from view.

Although everyone is different, you can generally expect to receive one injection for every inch of spider vein that is treated. Bright light and magnification may be used to ensure maximum precision while the skin is held taut to inject saline solution. A cotton ball and compression tape is often applied to each injection site as it is finished. Sometimes, laser spider vein therapy is used in combination with sclerotherapy.

Treatments

Veins treatments are spaced between 4-8 wks apart. Each treatment usually lasts 20 to 30 minutes.

Depending on the severity of the veins, you may require between one and three treatments in six-week intervals. The treatment is performed on the existing vessels, diminishing or completely eliminating their appearance. The development of new veins cannot be prevented and if your body tends to develop vascular problems you will most likely need to come back for additional treatments.

Risks

Bruising, pain and discoloration of the skin are possible following spider vein removal. These side effects are not permanent. To determine if laser treatment is right for you, call Allure Laser Treatment (850) 877-1111 and set up your free consultation.
