Vascular Laser for Vein Reduction Perth

The Deka SynchroPlay is a long pulsed Nd:YAG Laser. It has been specifically designed to treat vascular lesions without affecting the melanin in the upper regions of the skin. This means a more effective outcome as the laser is solely absorbed by the blood in the affective area with less chance of trauma to the surrounding skin. The lesion is slowly heated by the laser resulting in coagulation and destruction of the cells. Your body’s lymphatic system is responsible for removing those cells over the following months.

• Larger veins on the face
• Spider angiomas
• Spider veins on the legs

**Results may vary from person to person**

The majority of patients require 2-3 vascular laser sessions in their concern area. In some cases clients may require more sessions or require IPL PR sessions to improve smaller/finer vessels.

For the face we can treat at 6 week intervals. For the body we treat at 3 plus months. For some patients it is advisable to go 6 months in between treatments.
