Aesthetic Clinic of Edmond’s Laser Treatments
Spider veins appear as red or
purple thread-like structures on the skin surface, and can occur on
the face, neck, chest and legs. They are superficial blood vessels
that are found on almost everybody. In the legs, they can be found
alone or in combination with varicose veins. Alone, they are not a
health risk, but often are a cosmetic concern. Spider veins are
generally an inherited condition occurring when small capillaries
dilate on the surface of the skin. There are larger veins called
reticular or “feeder” veins that are the source for
spider veins. Spider veins can worsen for a variety of reasons.
To treat them, we use
state-of-the-art technology and a unique combination therapy. Our
approach involves the use of the Fotona® laser. The laser
produces a unique wavelength of light that safely passes through
the skin and is selectively absorbed by the targeted blood vessel.
The vein will gradually disappear, leaving the skin intact. Get
ready for your summer and upcoming social season without those
vexing veins!
Our distinctive treatment approach will improve your appearance and, like with many patients, your self confidence. The veins will begin to appear lighter after each session. Two to three sessions are usually required to achieve the maximum outcome. The appearance of the vessels will continue to improve for up to one or two months after treatment. Pain associated with treatment is minimal.
