YOU MUST HAVE A CONSULT BEFORE BOOKING ANY LASER PROCEDURE
- Treatment with the Elite+ laser is used to fade, reduce or eliminate veins.
- Elite+ laser is not a cure for vein disease. Telangiectasia is generally progressive; however, certain individuals may experience spontaneous stabilization of the condition in early stages. Treatment of early stage disease may prevent the progression and cause regression of the underlying disease process.
- Multiple treatments at 3-4 week intervals are often necessary (amount of treatment needed will be determined by each individuals response to therapy).
- Patients often describe the feeling of laser to be like a rubber band. A cooling device and topical anesthetic are used to alleviate discomfort.
- Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, tanning creams and sunless tanning lotions for 3-7 days prior to treatment and throughout the course of laser treatment.
- Apply broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen SPF 30 or greater to the area(s) to be treated whenever sun exposure is possible.
- On the day of treatment, thoroughly clean the area to be treated of any make-up, creams and lotions.
After Treatment
- Immediately after treatment, the area may appear flushed and warm.
- Apply ointment to the area post treatment to prevent drying and crusting. Ointment can have a soothing effect. If a crust develops, allow it to fall off naturally. Do not scratch or pick.
- Avoid hot baths/whirlpools for one week following treatment.
- Do not shave 1-3 days if blistering and/or crusting occurs.
- Avoid exercises that can cause vasodilation for one week post treatment. Walking is encouraged.
- Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, tanning creams and sunless tanning lotions throughout the course of laser treatment.
- Apply broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen SPF 30 or greater to the area(s) to be treated whenever sun exposure is possible.
