BEAUTIFUL LEGS  FREE OF UNSIGHTLY VEINS!

Unsightly veins can be a problem for men and women, the world over. This problem affects a wide range of age groups, skin types andlife styles. It is estimated that over 60% of the adult population suffers from varicose veins and spider veins. Varicose veins are enlarged vessels that have widened as a result of weakness in the vein wall, which stretches and bulges. Spider veins are the small superficial purple or red veins stretching like a web under the skin.

Until now, treating varicose veins was a lengthy and painful process with needles and / or other invasive treatments. Now, using the new combined
technologies of the Quantum/Lumenis One system, unsightly leg veins of all types can be treated simply, non-invasively and successfully.

What technology is used for treating deeper veins?

BEAUTIFUL LEGS - FREE OF UNSIGHTLY VEINS!

Unsightly veins can be a problem for men and women, the world over. This problem affects a wide range of age groups, skin types andlife styles. It is estimated that

over 60% of the adult population suffers from varicose veins and spider veins. Varicose veins are enlarged vessels that have widened as a result of weakness in the vein wall, which stretches and bulges. 

Spider veins are the small superficial purple or red veins stretching like a web under the skin.

Until now, treating varicose veins was to treat larger deeper veins (i.e. reticular veins). These veins respond to the precise energy level and wavelength of light that is used. The small spot of laser light travels through the skin and is absorbed by the blood within the vein, on the basis of its colour. The resulting heat coagulates or clots the blood and destroys the function of the vein. This process does not affect any of the surrounding tissues. Over time, the vein is absorbed by the body and disappears from sight.

Are surface veins and spider veins treated the same way?

These smaller superficial structures require a different technology for a successful treatment.

Smaller surface veins are treated using light energy. The light energy is absorbed by the blood; changed to heat, and then the vein is destroyed. This Intense Pulsed Light IPL technology is exclusive to the Quantum/Lumenis One system. With both technologies, we have the ability to use exactly what is needed for the best result for you.

How many treatments are needed?

Many leg veins need multiple treatments, often over a few months before the effect is complete. Even small vessels often require time to resolve. Sometimes an area of "matting" or "staining" surrounds the treated vessel. By using both technologies in the Quantum/Lumenis One system, we can treat the vein and this minor temporary discolouration and offer a complete resolution of vessels and an excellent outcome.



Before and After
3 months after 3 IPL and 2 laser treatments

Is treatment painful?

A pulse of laser or Intense Pulsed Light energy may feel like a pinch similar to the snap of a rubber band. Chilled gel on the skin and the buit-in sapphire chilled treatment head will prevent discomfort. The entire procedure is brief and non-invasive and no needles are used at any time.

What preperations must you make?

There are no changes in activities, before or after treatment. Prior to and following any type of IPL/LASER treatment, you must limit your exposure to the sun. Treatment should not be performed on tanned skin.
