All areas of the body can be treated. Most commonly performed treatments are on the face and legs.

It depends on the area and size of the vessel. Generally, it takes 15 minutes per area.

Anesthesia is not required. The only effect is a hot and tingling sensation that is well tolerated.

Most people describe laser vein treatment as feeling like the snap of a rubber band against the skin. After treatment, you can immediately return to normal activities, so long as strenuous activity is avoided for a few days.

Typically 2 to 3 treatments are required and should be performed every 6-8 weeks. Some veins may disappear after a single treatment while others may take longer, however, patient dependence is highly important.
