LASER ND YAG
(Cool Glide) For Veins
This Vascular Laser is used for a more focal treatment of stubborn vessels. It treats the smaller & larger veins precisely and predictably. Other conditions that can be treated are cherry angiomas (small or large red spots that are flat or raised). Face and leg veins, patients with dark, light or tanned skin can also be treated, even sensitive skin types.
​
During these treatments the light energy is absorbed by the blood vessel, and this causes a thermal coagulation (clogging). The clogged vessel is then slowly absorbed by the body.
