Leg Veins

Veins on the legs can appear for all kinds of reasons, including pregnancy, long periods on your feet, a trauma in the area or just genetics. If you have an underlying problem such as a bulging varicose vein you will need to get this treated first. We would recommend seeing your GP for varicose veins. If you have patches of red/purple leg veins, please come, and see us and we will give you our honest, expert advice. If we think your veins can be treated with our laser (or diathermy) then we can create a personal treatment plan tailored to you, conduct a small test patch, and complete our short medical questionnaire in the consultation process.

FAQs about Leg Vein Treatments:

How does the treatment work?

The Nd YAG fine beam laser allows the removal of the deeper leg veins while the IPL laser gives great results on smaller, finer vessels.

Is it painful?

Clients often describe the treatment as uncomfortable but tolerable – often saying it feels like a small ‘pin prick’.

Is there any down time?

The skin should be kept out of the sun so the best time for a leg vein to be treated is in the winter as skin must also be untanned.

How many sessions are needed?

Leg veins often require between 3-6 sessions, however individual cases can vary, and they sometimes take less or more, depending on size of the area and capillary.
