What Are the Possible Complications of a Laser Spider Vein Removal treatment?
Serious medical complications from Laser Vein Removal are rare when the procedure is performed by a qualified practitioner. However, the following complications may occur: • Semi-permanent or permanent skin lightening may occur in the treated areas. The skin may also become hyperpigmented (darker) immediately following the surgery. • Darkened skin can often be successfully treated with a bleaching cream. Lightened skin tone can be more problematic. In this case, most patients elect to live with the lightened area. • Heat from the laser may cause burns or injuries. To reduce the risks involved in this procedure, carefully follow all of your doctor’s instructions, both before and after the procedure.
