GentleMax Pro Plus Laser Vein Treatment

The procedure does not require a lot of preparation. However, you can take some small steps to make laser vein treatment more effective and successful. It is recommended to avoid sun exposure, aspirin, and smoking for 4-6 weeks before the procedure. On the day of the procedure, it is recommended that you wear comfortable clothing and avoid applying creams, lotions, and moisturizers to the treatment area. A spray tan or artificial tan cannot be treated.

The appearance of redness or swelling of the skin occurs immediately post-treatment and generally lasts a few days post-treatment. There will also be discolouration of the treated area, which generally lasts one to two months post-treatment.

Our practice uses the 2022 released GentleMax Pro Plus Laser System to treat spider veins. There is minimal downtime post- laser vein treatment. Patients should ensure the area is protected from sun exposure after laser vein treatment for optimal results.

Current treatments for varicose veins and spider veins have very high success rates compared to traditional surgical treatments. Over a period of years, however, more abnormal veins may develop as there is no known cures for weak vein valves (which causes spider veins). Wearing graduated compression support stockings may help in reducing the speed/frequency of the development of new spider veins.

It is usually necessary for laser vein patients to undergo between one and four laser vein treatments for optimal results. In terms of treatment time, each laser vein treatment session can last anywhere from 15 and 30 minutes.

There might be a slight tingling sensation associated with our laser spider vein removal treatment but no anesthetics are required.

Our laser spider vein removal procedure works best on patients with a variety of skin types, ranging from fair to light brown skin types. In the event that the laser vein treatment is not suitable for you, we can always recommend alternative treatment options.
