The Gentle Yag Laser treats leg veins and facial vessels by emitting a wavelength absorbed by the blood. The laser causes the vein/vessel to collapse and eventually absorbed by the body. In order to get the results you desire, it may require a series of 3-5 treatments, spaced at 6 week intervals.
Laser Vein and Vessel Treatment Before and After Photo
The GentleYAG System, a revolutionary long-pulse high energy laser emits a gentle beam of light that harmlessly passes through the skin where it is absorbed by the target. The laser energy is transformed into heat, leaving the surrounding skin unaffected. The skin is further protected during treatment by a Dynamic Cooling DeviceT where cryogen is sprayed onto the skin cooling the upper layers and providing patients with increased comfort. The Gentle Yag selectivity helps to protect the skin, while effectively treating the unwanted hair, vascular lesions and/or tighten.
Why is laser therapy a better treatment for small spider veins of the leg than injecting something (sclerotherapy) into your vein to eliminate it?

There is no need for a needle to pierce your skin. Only the laser beam touches your skin.
There is no need to worry about an allergic reaction that can happen with saline injections.
There is no aching, muscle cramps, or bruising that might happen with sclerosing solutions.
Even tiny veins can be treated, which is very difficult with sclerotherapy.
The laser is a quick and easy procedure.
The laser is computer controlled, and the chance of complications is very minimal.
Laser treatments are reasonably priced.
