This procedure not only removes spider veins, but also Rosacea, scars,
birthmarks, stretch marks, and warts.
During the procedure, you will wear protective eyewear to shield your
eyes from the laser light, and a spray of cooling mist will be felt prior
to each laser pulse. Slight discomfort may be felt during the procedure;
previous patients have described the feeling as the snapping of a rubber
band on the skin. However, the discomfort is minimized by Candela's Dynamic
Cooling Device.
It is recommended that you avoid sun exposure both before
and throughout the course of the treatment. Post-treatment is dependent
upon what lesion was treated.
Side effects may include bruising, redness, and swelling in the treated
area. However, these are transient and usually do not last more than a
few days. Permanent side effects such as scarring are rare.
