Sclerotherapy

The Gold standard for spider vein treatment, sclerotherapy is a medical procedure used to treat varicose veins and "spider veins." Sclerotherapy involves an injection of a solution (generally sodium chloride) directly into the vein. The solution irritates the lining of the vessel, causing it to swell and stick together, and the blood to clot. Over time, the vessel turns into scar tissue that fades from view. Sclerotherapy is a well-proven procedure and has been in use since the 1930s.

Laser Vein Removal

Remove unsightly blue or red veins on the face, body and legs with the precision and speed of light. This treatment is designed to provide rapid reduction of unsightly veins due to thread/spider veins.

How does the treatment work?

The Lyra-i produce a 1064nm wavelength. The laser beam passes through the skin and penetrates the targeted vessel. The laser energy heats up and coagulates blood inside the vessel. Unsupported, vessel walls collapse and seal. These vessels later dissolve within the body.

The laser energy is delivered through a hand-held device with a cooling tip. The cooling tip provides additional safety and comfort during the treatment by lowering the thermal effect on your skin surface.

What can I expect during the treatment?

You may experience a stinging sensation during the treatment, which resolves immediately after the treatment is over. In some cases, you may be offered topical anesthetic cream, which may eliminate much of the discomfort associated with the treatment.

What should I expect after the procedure?

The appearance of the treated vessels will dramatically change turning from blue and purple into light red. Some of the vessels may bulge; however, any inflammation will disappear within a couple of hours. The redness of the treated vessels will be gradually disappearing as the healing process occurs, which may take anywhere between 2 and 6 weeks depending on the severity of the veins.

The post-operative treatment regime may include wearing pressure hose, avoiding medication containing aspirin and wearing sunscreen. Make sure to discuss these options with your laser practitioner prior to the treatment.

How many treatments will I need?

Depending on the severity of the veins, you may require anywhere between one and three treatments six weeks apart. The treatment is performed on the existing vessels, diminishing or completely eliminating their appearance. However, the development of new veins cannot be prevented. If your body tends to develop vascular problems you will most likely come back for additional treatments.
