What is laser therapy for leg veins?
Laser leg vein treatment is an easy, fast and effective way to treat superficial veins. It diminishes their appearance without the pain of surgical treatments or lengthy downtimes. The laser light targets and constricts the blood vessels in the leg that cause spider veins, without harming the surrounding tissue. The vein is reabsorbed by the body and disappears. This treatment works best for small-to-medium-sized vessels, not larger varicose veins.
