The light energy emitted by the Nd: YAG penetrates the skin, penetrating the blood vessel or spider vein. The energy generates heat, coagulating the blood within the vein, causing it to collapse, sealing it closed. The blood is rerouted to deeper blood vessels, and the damaged vein slowly disappears as the body sheds the cells naturally.

The beauty of the Nd: YAG laser is the surrounding skin and vessels are protected by the custom cooling feature between each pulse of the laser.

Patients can expect to feel like they have a sunburn. We recommend topical lubricants and topical steroid creams to help with the healing process.

Do not take Aspirin or other blood thinning drugs (e.g. Vitamin E, Ginkgo Biloba), ibuprofen, or other non-steroidal inflammatory drugs (e.g., arthritis medicine) for 1 week before and 1 week after your treatment because these medications can increase bleeding and bruising.

Do not apply any cream, lotion, oil, or self-tanners to your legs the night before or the day of your treatment.

We recommend not to drink alcoholic beverages and not to smoke for 2 days before and 2 days after your treatment because drinking alcohol thins blood and smoking slows or impairs bleeding.
