High energy beam penetrates through the skin and gets absorbed in blood cells inside the leg veins. Once absorbed, the energy turns into heat, which evaporates blood and heats up vessel walls. Heated vessel walls collapse and glue together. Destroyed bloodless vessels dissipate in the body within a few weeks. It usually takes up to 2 treatments six weeks apart to seal the vessels. It may vary slightly based on the severity of the vessels. Once the vessels are sealed, they will dissipate in the body and never re-canalize. However, based on the individual, new leg veins may form. What to expect during the procedure A topical anesthetic may be applied before the treatment. This is optional and depends on the area, vessel severity and sensitivity of the patient Laser application. The laser will be transmitted through the cold window to protect the skin and assure further comfort. The sensation is similar to hot needle pricks. This sensation will only continue during lasing. As soon as the laser is off, the sensation will disappear. The laser beam will trace the leg vein driving blood away. This trace will turn pink and will gradually disappear. After the procedure: The reddening will dissipate within a few days. Aloe Vera or another moisturizer can be applied. Additionally, pressure stockings may be worn to keep the veins sealed.
