LASER PROCEDURES: There should be minimal or mild discomfort. You may feel a warming of the skin, or a rubber band snap like sensation, as the procedure is performed. This varies from patient to patient and depends on the depth of the treatment. Your procedure may take a few minutes to an hour depending on the size of the area to be treated and the type and depth of the procedure performed.

RECOVERY TIME: There is virtually no recovery time and you may resume a normal lifestyle immediately.

AFTER EFFECT: Some temporary redness may be present in the area that has been treated, however, this should subside within a day. Your skin will have a pink or red color that will resolve over time. You will need to avoid direct sun exposure, or use a sun block of at least SPF 15 when outdoors.

EACH INDIVIDUAL IS UNIQUE: The Vein Center physician will carefully study and discuss your unique needs. Any precautions or the recommended number of treatments and possible products for skin maintenance will be explained to you in detail.
