Laser Treatment of thread veins on the Legs

Certain lasers and specific light sources permit an effective treatment of telangiectasia and varicosis of small and medium size on the inferior members, particularly for the bluish, purplish or greenish kind. The treatment is gentle and often makes it possible to avoid more invasive techniques, such as surgery. For those who with phobia of needles, this treatment can also replace scerotherapy (treatment of the broken veins on the legs by sclerosing injections).
