Do vein treatments hurt?
IPL treatments of small vessels of the face or the legs cause minimal discomfort. Most treatments do not need any anesthetics such as creams. 1064nm Yag laser leg vein treatments will usually require a topical anesthetic, such as EMLA cream, to give you comfort. Putting the cream on the areas to be treated for 30 to 60 minutes before the procedure is usually all that is needed.
