Most people need between 2 and 6 rounds of treatment to see good results, with 4-6 weeks in between to allow the skin to heal. Some individuals may require further treatments, however results can be assessed following each round of laser therapy. More prominent or larger target veins may require more treatments than smaller, superficial lesions.

Laser treatment can produce short-lived discmfort, redness, swelling and mild itching. This is mitigating by using appropriate cooling adjuncts or ice packs with treatments. These symptoms should resolve after a few days.

YAG laser treatment for veins in London has proven to be highly effective in recent years.

Additionally, the advanced cooling system integrated into the laser device ensures patient comfort during the treatment. With its high success rate and minimal side effects, YAG laser treatment has become a popular choice for individuals seeking vein removal in London.

Laser therapies increase sun sensitivity in any treated areas. Therefore it is crucial to avoid direct sunlight on the skin, wear appropriate clothing and apply SPF protection on healed skin to avoid sun-related damage on your newly treated skin. Avoiding any products that contain fragrances or harsh chemicals, and applying neutral emollients or moisturisers on healed skin can also help to promote skin regeneration and prevent any further irritation. Reducing or stopping smoking and ensuring adequate hydration can also help to ensure optimum healing.
