How Can Spider Veins Be Treated?
Treating spider veins has several treatment options, the one we recommend is the most advanced aesthetic laser technology from both Alma (Wellington only) and Cutera. The 1064 nm (Auckland only) wavelength offers greater depth of penetration and its extended pulse duration facilitates a powerful heating allowing treatment of deeper lesions that cannot be targeted by shorter wavelengths. The applicator features a unique open-angle view with an aiming beam which vastly improves visualization of blood vessels underneath the skin. Simultaneous contact cooling technology incorporated into the tip cools the skin during treatment, minimizing the risk of side effects and resulting in a more comfortable treatment for patients.
