Spider vein Treatment using VPL
When used to treat spider veins, VPL targets the red or purple pigment of the blood vessels. It directs heat at the blood vessels, effectively destroying them. The collapsed vessels are absorbed back into the body.
You maybe able to notice the veins appear brighter in colour and look worse for a few days before either fading or disappearing
Everyone’s face is different so some people will see a difference straight away some may need a few sessions
Some people will find the veins completely disappear some will see them fade some may not see a difference
As a general rule, the smaller the capillaries, the quicker they are to clear up. Usually you won't start seeing results until two to four weeks after the first treatment, as it can take the body's lymphatic system that long to remove the dead material.
The therapist will work with you to work out the best and safest setting to use for your treatment
Face spider veins can disappear or fade and may never return or done people may need ongoing treatments to keep them at bay
Leg Spider veins can also fade and disappear however leg ones generally do return quicker as we are using are legs each day so the pressure can cause them to return .
