Red Veins

Introduction

Red veins in skin can occur as a result of sun damage, alcohol abuse, smoking, age or just genetics. They can be unsightly and inhibiting, and will often even show through heavy makeup.

Types of Treatment

Treatment options for red veins include IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and ND Yag technology. The number of treatments you will need will depend on the extent of the damage to your skin. Generally between one and six treatments will be required, depending on size and density of the red veins. There will be a three to four week interval between treatments. Treatment time is usually 10 to 30 minutes.

Every patient is different and your nurse will explain further what treatment plan is best for you, exactly what the treatment entails and what to expect before, during and after the procedure.
