Is laser removal of blood vessels permanent?
Permanent removal means ALL blood vessels are gone FOREVER. There are no treatments for blood vessels that can guarantee permanent blood vessel removal forever. The most realistic description of the results after laser treatment is long term blood vessel reduction. This means: After one or two treatments on the face or one to four treatments on the legs, the total numbers of unsightly vessels are greatly reduced generally by 70-90%. Most people are very pleased with this degree of improvement, as long as they know this is what to expect. Because lasers have been used on a large scale for blood vessel removal for only about the last 10 years, we cannot know if the results will continue for 15 or 20 years. However, stable, long-term blood vessel reduction commonly lasts for at least two years and some patients who had their last treatment many years ago are still enjoying the reduction results.
