The MultiLight System successfully treats leg veins, spider veins, port wine stains, and other benign vascular lesions. MultiLight generates intense pulsed light which safely reduces melanin, the dark pigment in the skin, so that pigmented lesions fade and slowly disappear. Treatment is applied by placing a hand-held treatment unit on your skin. Most people, including children, may be treated with the MultiLight process, however your doctor should determine if your condition is suitable for MultiLight treatments. This may require a consultation visit.
Treatment involves a pulse of intense light, similar to the flash of a camera.
You may feel a mild sting or pinch similar to the snap of a rubber band. No local anesthesia or pain medication is required. You may experience some short-term side effects. This may include slight reddening of the skin or local swelling which goes away within a few days. In rare instances there may be some blistering.
