Laser Treatment
Laser treatment may be used for facial capillaries, spider veins, and selected smaller leg veins. Laser energy is absorbed by blood within the targeted vessel, generating heat that causes the vessel to gradually fade.
Dr. Dany Touma and his dermatology colleagues use vascular laser technologies according to the size, colour, location, and characteristics of the vessels being treated. Nd laser technology may be used for selected facial and leg vessels, while treatment choice depends on the individual clinical assessment.
Lasers are generally more suitable for smaller vessels. Larger blue veins or more prominent varicose veins may require a different approach, including sclerotherapy, which may also be combined with laser treatment when appropriate.
The number of treatment sessions varies according to the type and extent of the vessels, skin characteristics, and response to treatment. A consultation is recommended to determine whether laser treatment, sclerotherapy, or a combination approach is appropriate.
