What Type Of Veins & Conditions Do We Treat?
Our laser therapy is commonly used for thread veins and spider naevi (spider veins), but laser vein treatments using IPL can also be used for other conditions relating to blood vessels such as rosacea and port wine stains.
Over and above blood vessel-related conditions, they are also effective treatments for leg thread veins and facial thread veins that develop from excessive sun exposure.

HOW DO IPL
MACHINES WORK?
IPL Photorejuvenation is one of our minimally invasive treatments for thread veins. It works by releasing a small, sharp bust of filtered light that is absorbed by the red blood vessels.
The rapid absorption of the light from this laser therapy results in the generation of heat that causes the blood vessels responsible for causing redness to reabsorb.

How Long Does Each Treatment Take?
Each treatment will take 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the number and size of veins that require treatment.
How Many Treatments Are Necessary?
The required treatments vary depending on the lesion, but 3 to 5 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart are typically needed.

Immediately after treatment the veins may have gone completely or else it may have turned a greyish colour that will gradually fade.
