Vasculight® Laser Therapy is a noninvasive method of vein removal for patients with:

How Vasculight® Laser Therapy Works

Vasculight® Laser Therapy uses heat energy from Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology to target abnormal veins without damaging healthy surrounding skin. The heat of the laser distresses the walls of the veins and the veins begin to shrink and eventually become invisible. The number of laser treatments a patient needs depends on the size of the abnormal vein and patient's ability to heal.

In some cases, the doctor may decide to use Vasculight® Laser Therapy combined with Sclerotherapy.

The benefits of Vasculight® Laser Therapy are:

  • A simple, non-invasive procedure
  • Surrounding skin is undisturbed
  • No injections or surgery
  • No downtime after the laser treatment

After the Laser Treatment

One of the benefits of laser treatment is that no downtime is involved with this procedure. Immediately after the procedure, a patient can continue their regular activities. Treated areas may appear red and/or bruised and swelling can occur, but pain is generally mild.
