At ERA Esthetic, we are proud to offer this spider vein treatment to our customers and invite you to learn more about it.
Treatment course of a laser treatment for spider veins
The laser creates a beam of high-intensity light that penetrates deep into skin tissue, where it delivers a controlled amount of targeted therapeutic heat. Candela’s patented Dynamic Cooling (DCDTM) protects the top layer of skin with a cooling shot of cryogen. The long-pulsed laser together with the DCDTM cooling offers an optimal treatment with minimal side effects.
You will wear eye protection to protect your eyes from the laser light. Your practitioner will aim the laser handpiece at the treatment areas. The cooling spray is sprayed onto your skin before and after each laser pulse. A treatment can last from just a few minutes to an hour – depending on the size of the skin area to be treated.
