Laser Leg Vein Treatment

IPL laser technology for veins involves very specific wavelengths of high energy, pulsed light to penetrate the skin without causing damage. The depth, size and color of the vein determine the wavelength, power, pulse width, and pulse interval to be used.

Optimal effectiveness in treating common leg spider veins or telangiectasias may often be achieved with a combination of sclerotherapy followed by IPL. Patients that are non responsive to sclerotherapy or experience matting from sclerotherapy are excellent IPL candidates. However, no existing IPL or laser, alone, can offer consistent, satisfactory results in the treatments of leg veins.

When seeking IPL or laser treatment for your spider veins, it is important to select a physician who also specializes in foam sclerotherapy.
