| Laser Vein Treatment |
|
Though lying below the surface, vein disorders are some of the hardest skin conditions to cover up. Spider veins can be particularly problematic because they appear in the face and legs. They are the result of chronic photo damage; as the skin becomes thinner, the vessels become more visible.
We have had tremendous success treating spider veins, in many cases practically eradicating them. Remedies involve a series of individualized laser treatments using high-powered lasers designed specifically to target this condition. The laser light coagulates the blood inside the vessel, causing your body to harmlessly reabsorb it.
