Varicose veins – the deeper blue veins – require different treatment from the comparatively discolored clusters called spider veins. The latter are just near the skin surface.
A fully equipped laser therapy centre will have a VascuLight Laser system with two distinct laser technologies. Each is employed as needed on a patient’s type of veins. This effective noninvasive technique is a perfect substitute for the conventional and time-consuming surgical interventions.
The laser component of an advanced VascuLight system treats larger, deeper veins like reticular veins). They respond to the precise level of energy and wavelength of light released. The small albeit powerful spot of laser light will pass through the skin. It is then absorbed by the blood within the particular vein, depending on its color. The heat emitted coagulates or clots the blood and ultimately destroys the function of the patient’s vein. Gradually, it will be absorbed by the body and will recede.
Choose a centre carefully so that varicose veins treatment is painless. Cost alone cannot be the guiding factor in selecting a medical centre. You should understand that prices vary for each individual depending on the extent and scope of laser procedure, meaning area of the body that needs to be treated, and the sessions required.
