532 Laser: Targeting Superficial Veins, Redness & Pigmentation
The 532 laser precisely targets and destroys superficial veins, while also reducing the appearance of deeper veins that contribute to redness and flushing. This laser delivers a high-energy pulse directly into the vein, causing its destruction with minimal damage to surrounding tissue. This focused approach means less pain and fewer side effects, making the procedure exceptionally well-tolerated and resulting in high patient satisfaction due to immediate improvements. It’s effective for individual thread veins and spider naevi, including those on the chest, and can also treat superficial leg veins which gradually disappear.
For conditions like rosacea and flushing, removing superficial thread veins with the 532 laser is a key step. However, these complex conditions often require ongoing, additional treatments such as anti-inflammatory face washes, antibiotics, or specialist prescription creams for optimal management.
Key Benefits of 532 Laser Treatment:
- Destroys Superficial Veins: Effectively treats individual thread veins, spider naevi, and superficial leg veins.
- Reduces Redness & Flushing: Addresses the effects of deeper veins contributing to these concerns.
- Immediate Results: Patients often see instant improvements on targeted veins.
- Minimally Invasive: Delivers high energy precisely to the vein, with minimal surrounding tissue damage.
- Well-Tolerated: The procedure is generally comfortable with minimal pain.
- Spider Naevus Removal: Instantly destroys these clusters of dilated capillaries.
Please note that the Gemini laser, which typically uses 532nm, is not suitable for higher Fitzpatrick skin types. A test patch is required before full treatment, and the price for a laser session is £200.
