Laser vein treatment is a procedure designed to correct abnormal veins in the legs or feet, including varicose veins and spider veins. Varicose veins are large, twisted, and bulging veins that can cause pain or discomfort. Spider veins are much smaller, do not cause as much discomfort, and have a web-like appearance. Around half of all adults have some form of venous condition; however, not all are good candidates for laser vein treatment.
Treatment for varicose and spider veins can be surgical and non-invasive. Treatments can include compression stockings, photodynamic therapy, sclerotherapy, vein surgery, or laser vein treatment.
