What is Long Pulse YAG Laser Vein Therapy?
Long Pulse YAG Laser vein therapy is a precise, non-invasive treatment that helps reduce the appearance of visible veins and redness for clearer, more even-looking skin. During treatment, laser energy is absorbed by hemoglobin and converted to heat, causing the blood within the vessel to coagulate. Once coagulated, the vessel wall collapses and seals off, allowing the body to naturally reabsorb the treated vessel through the lymphatic system over time.
Your overall aesthetic goals and the condition of your skin will determine the number of recommended treatments. If you’re seeking to lift unwanted pigment, you may need a few Spectrum IPL sessions about a month apart to achieve ideal results.
