Laser Vein Treatment & Sclerotherapy In Irvine, CA
Laser Vein Treatment
Laser Vein Treatment is a non-invasive procedure that targets and eliminates visible veins, such as spider and small varicose veins. The treatment works by directing a focused laser beam onto the affected vein. The laser emits a specific wavelength of light, which is absorbed by the hemoglobin in the blood, causing the vein to heat up and collapse. Over time, the body naturally absorbs the treated vein, resulting in clearer skin. Laser Vein Treatment can address various areas of the body, including the legs, face, and hands, making it a versatile option for those looking to improve their skin’s appearance. The treatment is precise and effective, providing a solution for veins that are too small or delicate for more invasive procedures.
Sclerotherapy (Vein Injection)
Sclerotherapy, on the other hand, involves the injection of a sclerosing solution directly into the vein. The inner lining of the vessel becomes irritated by this solution, which finally causes it to collapse and be absorbed by the body. Sclerotherapy is particularly effective for treating medium-sized veins, including both spider veins and larger varicose veins. The process requires little to no downtime and is minimally invasive. It can be finished quickly. Together, Laser Vein Treatment & Sclerotherapy in Irvine, CA, offer a comprehensive approach to vein removal, catering to a wide range of needs and conditions. This treatment is ideal for individuals who are experiencing discomfort or cosmetic concerns due to visible veins. As the body processes the treated veins, full effects usually become apparent after a few months. Results are usually visible within a few weeks. The results are long-lasting, although maintenance treatments may be necessary depending on individual factors. To take the first step towards smoother, clearer skin, book an appointment at New Look Skin Center in Irvine, CA.
