Understanding leg veins

Veins play an important role in the body – they carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. Sometimes, however, the valves inside the veins may fail to close properly, and as a result, blood stagnates inside. This can lead to distended varicose veins or superficial spider veins.

Various factors can increase your risk of developing varicose or spider veins. These include being overweight, not exercising, and standing, sitting or lying down for extended periods. Women are more at risk than men, and it’s believed hormonal changes throughout a woman’s life may play a role.

Spider veins appear as clusters of blue, red or purple veins (similar to a spider’s web). They can appear anywhere on the body but are commonly found on the thighs, calves and ankles.

What type of leg vein removal treatments do you offer at Southern Cosmetics?

At Southern Cosmetics, we offer laser leg vein treatments.

Laser Leg Vein Removal

In some instances, laser may be a more appropriate means of treating your leg veins. We may also recommend a combination of sclerotherapy and laser as part of your treatment plan.

How does laser leg vein removal work?

Pulses of laser light are directed at the vein, which causes a heating and coagulation effect. This eventually destroys the vessel and it is later reabsorbed by your body.

We use two state-of-the-art systems for this type of treatment: the Cutera Nd:YAG vascular laser and the Fotona SP Dynamis Nd:YAG.

Who is the treatment suitable for?

Laser leg vein removal is suitable for most skin tones. It can effectively treat a broad range of leg veins, from tiny spider veins to deep reticular veins. Larger varicose veins usually require surgery.

How does the treatment feel?

You may experience a mild stinging sensation, but there is usually minimal discomfort during the treatment, nor in the recovery phase.

When will you notice a change?

Results are often seen as early as two to six weeks, but it may take several months to see the final results.

How many sessions are usually required?

Typically, 3 or more sessions are required for this type of laser leg vein removal. The number of treatments necessary depends on the size of the vessels being treated.
