What is Fotona Laser Vascular and Vein Treatment ?One of the best options for getting rid of different vascular lesions, such as leg spider veins and facial telangiectasia, is the Fotona Nd:YAG laser treatment. Its ability to effectively treat a variety of vascular problems with remarkable outcomes is largely responsible for its appeal.
Our laser coagulates the blood in the treated area by applying a photothermal effect—a combination of heat and light—to the vessels. The blood flow is redirected to deeper vessels under the skin’s surface by forming a tiny clot in the vessel. Over the next few weeks, the immune system and lymphatic system of the body function to remove the clot and close the superficial veins. A variety of vascular disorders can be treated with this procedure, which is incredibly safe and efficient.
Varicose veins are not suitable for laser treatment and are better suited to sclerotherapy.
A thorough consultation and evaluation with a clinician will help you to determine which vessels are suitable for laser therapy and determine if this treatment is suitable for you.
Patients typically require one or two treatments, but the number of treatments needed depends on several factors:
Most patients see significant improvement in treated vessels within two to six weeks post-treatment. However, it may take several months for the final results to become clear. It’s possible for new vessels to appear over time, but these can also be treated with laser-like the previous ones.
Most patients may feel a slight stinging sensation during the delivery of laser energy to the vessel. To make the process more comfortable and protect the epidermis, we use a cooling system and improve the patient’s tolerance.
There is no need for the application of any topical anesthetic during the treatment.
After your treatment, it is possible that you may experience mild redness, localized swelling or bruising in the treated area. In rare cases, blistering may occur, but this is typically a temporary side effect that lasts for less than 24 hours. The treated vessel may turn a grey or purplish color, which can persist for a couple of weeks while the coagulation clears up with the help of your lymphatic and immune system.
For those who have received leg vein treatments, it is recommended that they wear compression or support stockings for a brief period following the procedure.
After your treatment, it is advisable that you refrain from any strenuous physical activity for at least 24 hours. Additionally, you must apply sunscreen to the treated area(s) as they can become more sensitive to sunlight. It is also recommended that you avoid prolonged sun exposure and the use of fake tan for a few weeks before the treatment.
Your clinician will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
