Laser Sclerotherapy
We are pleased to offer sclerotherapy in Lake Charles, LA, but we also urge all patients traveling from Jennings, Westlake, Sulphur, Moss Bluff, LA, as well as Orange, TX, to take advantage of this Cynosure Apogee Elite Laser treatment. We are responding to your request for procedures without needles, that have no downtime. This series of laser vein treatments is designed to minimize or eliminate smaller red and blue veins that can occur on either the face or legs.
Laser sclerotherapy is non-invasive; there is no downtime and no healing required, and normal activity can be resumed immediately after treatment. A series of 3-5 treatments at six-week intervals is typically recommended.
Laser Vein Treatment FAQs
Laser sclerotherapy is the destruction of veins using a wavelength of light that is attracted to hemoglobin or blood.
After receiving sclerotherapy in Lake Charles, LA, your veins will be raised, red and irritated. You will be required to refrain from any activities that will cause the veins to dilate for 48 hours and you will be asked to wear compression hose if the veins are on your legs.
Depending on the number and size of the veins being treated, each of your sclerotherapy sessions could last between 15 and 30 minutes.
You will need between 3 and 5 treatments spaced 6 weeks apart. Once again, the number of treatments is usually determined by the size of the veins.
The most common side effects of sclerotherapy are similar to those associated with most other laser procedures. These side effects include:
- Burning
- Blistering
- Hyperpigmentation or Hypopigmentation
- Bruising
The cost of sclerotherapy is determined by the number of veins that we treat. Insurance will not cover the removal of broken veins with a laser.
Laser-Sclerotherapy - Before & After
Are Sclerotherapy Results Permanent?
The results of sclerotherapy are long-lasting. Although, when people get broken veins and capillaries it is usually an indication that they have fragile capillary walls. Chances are they will break new ones over time.
