Laser Therapy -
Fine Leg Vein Removal
Many of our patients
complain of fine leg veins caused by genetic factors,
hormones and pregnancy, by standing on their feet for many
hours during the day, or by blood clots or phlebitis.
However, our state of the art laser will remove fine leg
veins (not large varicose veins) without scarring.
Is This Laser
Surgery Painful?
There is only
minimal discomfort since we use a cooling device. This treatment does not
involve any injections, and it does not result in ulceration
that saline injections may cause. You don't have to limit
your activity or exercise program post laser surgery.
How Many Sessions
are Required?
Although one or two
sessions may be most helpful, it may require half a dozen to
get the improvement that we would like.
Does this Laser
Leave Scars?
We are excited about
our vascular lasers that remove fine leg veins without
scarring.
News
We now have the Vbeam Perfecta laser system. This is 30% more powerful than its predecessor. This is considered the best pulsed dye laser system available.
Case Study
Emily has athletic
looking legs but she was embarrassed by unsightly veins. She
inherited her leg veins from her mother, and they blossomed
during a pregnancy. She liked outdoor sports activities but
the veins did not cover with make-up.
The staff at DLAM
felt she was a good candidate for laser since she is a fair
skinned Caucasian with fine leg veins (not large varicose
veins). The fine veins were vaporized after four sessions.
Pain was minimal, and there was no bruising, ulceration or
scarring.
Before & After
Emily did not have
to limit her activity or wear compression hose as is
required with conventional saline injections. She did not
miss any days of work. The staff recommends only regular
exercise such as walking and jogging to maintain good muscle
tone.
