- Environmental: Sun exposure, Wind etc.

How does the vascular treatment work?
The visible light is converted to heat, which destroys the protein in the walls of the thread vein. As a result it will
gradually and safely disappear after the treatment.
Which thread veins can be treated?
Superficial thread veins on all body sites can be treated. The most common areas to be treated are for superficial veins in the facial, chest and leg areas.
As the treatment relies on the absorption of light by the red blood cells the most effective treatments are seen with light skin.
However, the vascular system has pre-programmed settings for different skin colours that deliver the correct energy output for your skin colouring.
How long does a vascular treatment take?
The treatment depends on the area to be covered or the number of distinct vessels to be treated in a treatment session. A typical treatment
session usually takes around 20 minutes. 1-5 treatments may be required leaving the correct time between the treatment, determined after each result.
Does it hurt?
Pain threshold varies from person to person, however some people generally experience a sharp pinch for a fraction of a second.
Do I need to take special precautions before and after treatment?
Yes, it is extremely important to avoid sun exposure before and during procedure, otherwise the light will be absorbed by melanin in the skin surface
making the treatment less effective. We recommend you limit sun exposure and use an SPF 20 during and after treatment.
