Can any skin type undergo laser vein treatment?
Because the laser targets skin pigment, considerations about skin type may be a factor to discuss. More pigment in the skin creates “competition” with the pigment in the vein. With older lasers this eliminated certain people as candidates for vein or hair removal, but the Sciton laser is better designed for penetrating beneath the skin surface, so now this is less of a problem. However, it still may be a good idea to avoid tanning before a vein treatment. To learn more about laser vein treatment, contact our Little Rock cosmetic surgery office.
