How does the laser work for treating leg veins?
Superficial leg veins that appear red rather than purple or blue respond well to the laser. In larger, blue, red or purple veins we find that sclerotherapy (injection of a soapy solution into the vein) may be more effective and less costly. We will be happy to assess the veins and design a treatment plan that may include laser, sclerotherapy or both treatment modalities to remove unwanted leg veins. After sclerotherapy, support hosiery (included with the treatment fees) must be worn for 48 hours after treatment. After laser, this is not necessary. Moderate activity is fine, but no jogging, aerobic exercise or other extreme activity for 48 hours.
