Nearly 80 million men and women in the US suffer from varicose veins. The Vasculight system offers a non-invasive mean to deal with unsightly veins. Intense pulsed light can reach the deep, large varicose veins. In addition, both light and dark skinned may use the Vasculight laser individuals without any negative effects.

Varicose veins are blue, sometimes bulging veins caused by the weakening of the valves that help push blood back to the heart. Advanced, untreated varicose veins can result in venous statis ulcers, a condition where poor circulation causes the skin to receive insufficient oxygen, bringing about an ulcer; phlebitis, an inflammation of the vein; or thrombosis, a condition where blood clots form in an enlarged vein.

No one knows exactly what causes varicose veins, although heredity, hormonal changes, and pregnancy seem to contribute to the condition. Leg vein laser is a non-invasive medical procedure that uses light to treat vascular conditions like spider and varicose veins. Many leg veins need multiple treatments that can take place over a few months.

Understanding laser treatment

A laser produces a beam of highly concentrated light. Different types of lasers produce different colors of light. The color of light produced by a particular laser is the key to its effect on hair follicles.

The light emitted by the Laser is absorbed by the pigment in hair follicles. The laser pulses for a fraction of a second, just long enough to vaporize the pigment, disabling several follicles at a time to eliminate or significantly impede the hair's re-growth.

Laser treatment itself may cause a slight tingling sensation. Most patients tolerate the procedure well. But because some areas of the body are more sensitive than others, topical anesthesia is always available.

The appearance of the treated area immediately after a laser session will vary from patient to patient depending on the extent of treatment and skin type. Immediate after-effects, if any, are minor. They may include redness and swelling, which disappear in a short time. Most people return to normal activity right away.
