LASER VEIN TREATMENT



Today, lasers are safely used for a wide variety of cosmetic non- invasive treatments. This exciting treatment with the Syneron Laser is extremely safe and effective on leg veins, as well as veins visible on the face, neck, and chest - just about anywhere! Laser Therapy also treats benign pigmented lesions such as age spots, birthmarks, and tattoos. These non-invasive treatments are increasingly popular because there are very few side effects, and you can resume your regular activities immediately following treatment! Which type of veins can the Syneron Laser treat? The Syneron Laser treats many types of leg veins, including shallow spider veins and reticular veins.

Spider Veins
are very small veins caused by a dilation of the small venules under the skin. This occurs when the pressure inside the vein increases enough to overcome normal resistance of the vein wall. The ability of veins to resist increased pressure is reduced in women when the body's estrogen level is reduced.

Reticular Veins
are small, bluish-colored veins that carry blood to the skin venules and, therefore, are larger. These veins have thin walls and dilate with excessive venous pressure. When this occurs, they become large enough to be unsightly, but are not considered to be varicose veins.
