Treatment of Unwanted Leg Veins
With the Laserscope Lyra™ Laser
We’re pleased to offer a revolutionary new laser treatment that can
quickly and safely eliminate unsightly leg veins, spider veins and
broken capillaries up to 4mm in diameter.
What are the benefits?
Our advanced technology minimizes the redness and bruising normally
associated with traditional treatments. Best of all, this technology
allows us to treat people of any ethnic origin and skin type including
tanned skin.
How does it work?
The laser energy is absorbed by the pigment in your blood and collapses
the unwanted vein. The laser energy is delivered through a hand-held
device with a cooling tip that protects your skin.
When will you see results?
The appearance of leg veins will either dramatically fade or completely
disappear during the treatment. Some vessels may show temporary swelling
that will subside after a few hours to a few days. The redness of the
treated vessels will gradually disappear as the healing process occurs.
This may take between two and eight weeks.
How often can you have it done?
Most patients see excellent improvement after just two treatments.
Everyone responds differently to treatments, with some needing only one
treatment and others requiring a third treatment. You can optimize your
results by closely following the post treatment instructions. The usual
treatment interval is eight weeks.
Are there any side effects?
Immediately following the procedure you may experience some redness in
the treated area. The redness usually dissipates within one to three
days. Also, although it is not the intended purpose of this particular
treatment, hair growth may be impaired in the treated area.
How long does it take?
Most treatments will take between 15-30 minutes depending on the size of
the area to be treated. Prescribed topical anesthetics should be applied
30-90 minutes before the treatment time.
