Laser therapy is a fast, non-evasive means of treating leg and facial veins that is very effective and satisfying.  Lasers treat vascular anomalies by emitting a wave length that is absorbed by hemoglobin in the targeted vessels.  The laser causes the vein to collapse and eventually be absorbed by the body.  The GentleYAG laser has proven to be a very effective means of clearing vessels of medium size with a very low incidence of side effects.  Most patients see 50 - 70% improvement with one treatment.
