with IPL pulsed light
A painless procedure during which the special pulsed light is used to remove the annoying network of thin veins running under the surface of the skin. (Physicians can also treat slightly larger veins with an NdYAG laser.) The energy of the pulsed light is converted into thermal energy in the capillaries, which stimulates its contraction and obstruction, causing it to be absorbed and thus removing the annoying sight. In order to achieve the desired effect, it’s recommended to avoid direct sunlight prior to the treatment. In some cases, it’s necessary to repeat the treatment 2-4 times every 3 weeks in order to entirely remove the symptoms.
A slight rash might appear on the skin after the treatment, before the veins in question grow fainter and turn to a crimson or gray color. After a 10-14 day follow-up treatment, the veins will be partially or fully cured. An appropriate form of sunlight protection must be applied during and after the period of recovery.
