Question:
Are lasers used to treat visible veins? How does this work and is it safe?
Answer:
We use KTP and pulsed dye lasers to treat small facial veins and Nd;YAG lasers for larger blue veins. They work by selectively destroying the hemoglobin containing portion of red blood vessels. Like any laser, they are generally safe and effective, when used correctly.
