HOW DOES THE ELLIPSE LASER TREAT SPIDER VEINS?

The Ellipse laser sends energy into the blood and vessel walls, leading to the complete or partial collapse of the unwanted vein. The constricted vessel then degenerates, and visible veins are reduced. The ideal immediate response to treatment is the coagulation of the vessel. This effect can be observed in the form of bluish or grayish discoloration visible on the skin’s surface.

Is laser spider vein treatment painful?

The level of discomfort during laser spider vein treatment is generally minimal.
