Everyone wants attractive, healthy looking, radiant skin |
Our treatments are based on science,
independent clinical data and results, not 'hype'. By using state-of-the-art, scientifically
proven medical-grade products, we
can achieve superior results.
How does laser technology work?
Laser is a pure form of light consisting of only one wavelength. Different wavelengths have different penetration and
absorption properties on the skin. In general, the higher the wavelength, the deeper the laser's penetration. Different
structures within the skin respond to different wavelengths of laser. As the structures within the skin absorb the laser
energy, they heat up and are destroyed. Since each structure responds to a different wavelength, we can selectively
heat and destroy certain structures within the skin without having much effect on the other skin structures.
What types of leg veins can be treated?
Varicose veins, which are usually a deeper blue, need
different treatment from the discoloured clusters (known
as 'spider veins') that are near the skin surface. For
this reason, the VascuLight® laser system is equipped
with two different laser technologies. Each will be used
as necessary for the type of veins. This non-invasive
technique can now replace the conventional surgical
interventions offered in the past.
Are surface veins and spider veins treated
the same way?
These smaller, superficial structures require a different
technology for successful treatment, not technically a
laser at all. Smaller surface veins are treated using light
energy. The light energy is absorbed by the blood,
changed to heat, and the vein is destroyed. You
usually see immediate results with the disappearance of
these veins.
How many treatments are needed?
Many leg veins need multiple treatments, often over a
few months before the effect is complete. Even small
vessels may require some time to resolve. Sometimes
a bit of 'matting' or 'staining' surrounds the treated
vessel. By using both technologies we can treat the
vein and this minor temporary discolouration and offer a
complete, excellent outcome.
What is the treatment like? Is it painful?
A pulse of laser light may feel like a pinch similar to a
snapping rubber band. Chilled gel or blowing cool air
helps to make the procedure more comfortable. The
entire procedure is brief and non-invasive - no needles
are used at any time.
