Laser Spider Vein treatment at Prolase Laser Clinic
What are spider veins?
Laser Vein Treatment in Glendale

Millions of women and men are troubled by unattractive spider veins on their faces and legs. Spider veins are called as such because they resemble a "star" with numerous small veins radiating from a center point. They may also appear as fine, separate lines, a web-like maze, or as "branches" from a single "tree trunk." It is estimated that more than 75% of females over the age of 18 have spider veins. These red, blue or purple thread-like lines may develop on any part of the body, including the face, but most often appear on the thighs, calves, or buttocks. The condition is associated with increased pressure to the veins.

What is the role of Laser in the treatment of spider veins?

At Prolase Laser Clinic we use the best and most standard treatment for spider veins (Laser Vein Removal). Laser vein removal is an easy, fast, and effective way to treat superficial veins. The laser uses a focused beam of light. In the treatment of veins, the wavelength of light is targeted to the pigment in the blood. The laser heats up the small vein and destroys it. The laser beam is focused and does not damage the nearby skin tissue. Over a period of four to six weeks, the vein is reabsorbed by the body and disappears.

 

How does the laser work?

We at Prolase Laser Clinic use the Candela Yag Laser. The Candela GentleYAG laser pierces the skin and penetrates the superficial blood vessel. The heat generated from the laser coagulates the blood inside the vessel causing it to collapse and seal. Over the next few weeks, the vessel will disappear and all the blood will be removed by the body's scavenging cells. Prolase laser treatments allow the delivery of a precise dosage of energy to each blood vessel without injuring any nearby structures.
