Before the procedure, we can usually apply a numbing cream on your skin. Some patients report feeling a mild tingling sensation or a sting as the laser is aimed at the vein. Many laser systems on the market, including the one our practice uses, have a built-in feature that produces a cooling effect. This reduces discomfort while also preventing the laser from getting too hot, which may cause a burn or additional damage to the area.
