In general, they will appear more often on your calves of your legs, your thighs, or buttocks. Laser spider veins reduction therapy in Littleton CO is an efficient and quick way to treat these small superficial veins.
Why Choose Laser Therapy?
The medical community has been making use of laser therapy for more than 30 years and with the advances in this type of technology a great number of different types of lasers have been developed. Commonly, the YAG Laser System is what is used to treat spider veins. It is a handheld system that has a built in cooling device which is designed to minimize any discomfort that you might feel during your procedure. How this works is that the laser heats up the vein destroying it without causing any damage to the surrounding tissue. After about 4 to 6 weeks, your body will reabsorb the blood from the vein and it will disappear.
