FAQs about Red Vein Removal Treatments:
How does red vein removal work?
Light energy is applied to the skin where it is readily absorbed by blood vessels, heating them to a point where they are destroyed.
Is IPL red vein removal permanent? Are the results immediate?
Following treatment, the vessels quickly clear as they are reabsorbed by the body, leaving little or no trace of the original lesion. Follow up treatments may be needed, typically once a year.
What causes red veins?
Red veins can be a result of sun exposure, pregnancy, changes in the weather, alcohol. They can also be hereditary.
Is red vein removal painful?
Treatment is mildly uncomfortable but there is no need for anaesthesia and the procedure is actually quite quick. Sensations vary but most describe it as a very quick hot pin prick.
How many sessions are needed?
Typically, 3 to 5 treatments are needed for optimum results, though small lesions may clear in just a single session. Repeat treatments are spaced every 4 to 6 weeks.
