Dallas Spider Vein Treatment Q & A

Q. How does it work?
A. The laser light is absorbed by hemoglobin and light pulses are delivered to the vein causing the vessel to coagulate and subsequently be absorbed by the body.

Q. What areas can be treated?
A. All areas of the body can be treated. Most commonly performed treatments are on the face and legs.

Q. How long does the procedure take?
A. It depends on the size of the area and the vessel. Generally, it takes 15 minutes per area.

Q. Is it painful?
A. Anesthesia is not required. The only effect is a hot and tingling sensation that is well tolerated.

Q. What results can I expect?
A. Most people describe laser vein treatment as a feeling like the snap of a rubber band against the skin. After the treatment, you can immediately return to normal activities, so long as strenuous activity is avoided for a few days.

Q. How many treatments are required?
A. Typically 2 to 3 treatments are required and should be performed every 6 to 8 weeks. Some veins may disappear after a single treatment, while others may take longer.
