This laser targets broken capillaries that are directly at the surface of the skin, such as cherry angiomas and spider veins. These are most commonly the "red" veins. We find these anywhere on the body, but especially our more sun-exposed areas, such as the face, chest, and arms. This laser "zaps" or constricts broken capillaries with a heat frequency. Full resolution of the veins can take anywhere between 1 and 6 total treatment sessions, depending on the severity and stubbornness of the vein. These treatments are fast, typically painless (a quick rubber-band snapping sensation as the laser pulsates), and require little to no downtime. Because we're using a heat a the surface of the skin, most patients do not have to worry about healing from any cuts, wounds, blistered, cauterized or damaged skin tissue! Expect a little redness and soreness following treatment and avoid sun exposure.
