WHAT IS IT?
Neodymium-YAG Laser Sclerotherapy
The Neodymium-YAG laser emits light energy with a wavelength of 1,064 nm, which is selectively absorbed by the hemoglobin circulating in the blood within the blood vessels. Once the hemoglobin absorbs this heat, the wall of that vessel closes due to the thermal effect.
This technology is primarily indicated for facial telangiectasias (small spider veins), or smaller venules, in patients prone to matting or with a fear of needles.
FAQ's
Frequently asked questions about Neodymium-YAG Laser Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is a procedure that involves injecting a liquid or foam medication into damaged veins using a very fine needle. Its purpose is to gradually, controllably, and effectively eliminate bothersome spider veins, reticular veins, or abnormally dilated veins, thereby improving the aesthetic and clinical appearance caused by venous circulatory problems.
Not always. If necessary, your doctor will determine if medication is required for you to aid in the repair of vein walls damaged by venous insufficiency or to increase venous tone; sometimes anti-inflammatories may be prescribed if needed. Generally, we only recommend cold creams and graduated compression stockings after the sessions to enhance the scientifically proven benefits of sclerotherapy.
