What is laser therapy and how does it work?

Candela Laser: Cosmetic Laser Procedures for Hair Removal, A...
Laser therapy is a safe, effective, and commonly used treatment, providing optimal results in areas such as the removal of unwanted hair skin rejuvenation, wrinkle reduction, leg veins, or tattoos; and the treatment of acne. Lasers work by delivering an intense beam of light that is absorbed by the skin. This light is converted to heat and is absorbed by the cells being targeted, while leaving the surrounding tissue unaffected.

What is Laser Vein Therapy?

FAQ's
Laser vein therapy allows us to treat the smaller veins on the legs by delivering a precise dosage of energy to each vein. During the treatment, light energy is delivered through a hand piece, targeting each vein in a series of brief pulses. The blood vessel then absorbs this energy and the vessel coagulates (clots) and is safely reabsorbed in the body.
