Many people live with visible leg veins, which make then feel embarrassed to wear shorts, skirts, and swimsuits. In the past, this problem could only be solved through painful procedures and surgery, but those days are mercifully over. Today, leg veins can be treated by the Palomar Laser as well as schlerotherapy. In some cases a combination of both works best for some patients.
The Palomar Lux1064 Laser Handpiece offers a more comfortable and effective vein treatment. Its non-invasive laser pulses cause unsightly vessels to fade from view in a few treatments or less.
The Lux1064 also offers excellent clearance of spider veins on the face and other body areas.
The Lux1064 Nd:YAG Laser Handpiece is an attachment for the Palomar StarLux Pulsed Light and Laser System.
How does Palomar laser leg vein treatment work?
Lasers deliver concentrated light in a specific wavelength of the spectrum. Each wavelength is absorbed by a different target, such as pigment, blood, or water.
The Palomar Lux1064 handpiece delivers light pulses in the 1064nm wavelength, which is ideal for targeting leg veins.
The light pulses heat the blood within the leg vein. The heat of the blood affects the vessel lining, which causes the vessel to constrict and eventually fade from view. The Lux1064 can also be used on facial veins.
What are Palomar laser leg vein treatments like?
Dr. Serrao will move the Lux1064 handpiece over your skin, following the length of the vein, pulsing it all the while. Each pulse will send a beam of light through your skin. A flashing light, an audible tone, and a mild sensation on the skin will tell you when the handpiece is being pulsed.
Are these treatments safe? Are they painful?
Dr. Serrao will go over the risks and benefits of the treatment with you. Palomar leg vein treatments are skin-safe and comfortable. The Lux1064 delivers its energy in one smooth, gentle pulse, to protect the skin from a sharp rise in temperature.
In addition, a chilled water supply runs through the Lux1064 handpiece, down to its tip. Since the handpiece tip is in contact with the skin during treatment, your skin is continually cooled, so that you feel little heat from the laser pulses.
What should I expect after treatment?
Immediately after treatment you will see any of the three possible outcomes:
- The vessel will disappear
- The vessel will darken
- The vessel will shrink
The surrounding skin may turn pink and be slightly swollen for up to 24 hours. Often more than one treatment is necessary to achieve full clearance of leg veins. We recommend the use of support hose or support garment during your recovery. Follow the instructions given by Dr. Serrao.
