How does it work?
Surface veins are treated differently than larger, deeper veins. Surface veins are treated with IPL , which uses light energy to selectively target the surface veins. The light energy is absorbed by the hemoglobin (blood), which turns into heat. The blood coagulates causing the vessel wall to collapse, and over time, the vessel is reabsorbed by the body and disappears – all without damaging the surrounding tissue. Larger, deeper veins are treated with laser technology. These veins respond to a certain wavelength of laser light, selectively absorbing the laser light. As with surface veins, the laser light is converted into heat which results in coagulated blood. The vein is destroyed and is reabsorbed by the body—all without damaging the surrounding tissue.
