All patients and providers will use eye protection for the treatment. Laser energy will be delivered precisely to the area of your skin being treated. You may briefly feel a warm sensation as the laser pulses are absorbed by the unwanted vessels. Your procedure may take a few minutes to half an hour depending on the area being treated. - What should I expect after the treatment?
Each patient response can vary. Redness and swelling around the treated vessels are usually seen within a few minutes. A sunburn like sensation and a slight feeling of tenderness is normal and expected. Post treatment reactions tend to subside within 24-48 hours after the treatment. After 48 hours, the skin over the treated veins will look slightly red, purple, or bruised. Sometimes the veins will look more visible than prior to treatment. This is normal. Within the first two to three weeks the redness and/or purple color will begin to fade. Each week, the color will become lighter, and the veins will become less noticeable. Expect optimal results to be noticeable about four weeks post treatment. - What will I need for aftercare?
