A safe and effective way of treating unsightly leg veins.
Now the revolutionary new laser treatment with a Lyra laser system can quickly and safely eliminate these vessels leaving your skin looking smooth and your legs  beautiful again. No other treatment can give you such effective results as the Lyra. The redness and bruising associated with traditional treatments or other lasers are minimized or completely eliminated. And best of all, Lyra provides the most risk free treatment for dark or tanned skin than any other existing modalities.
Who would be appropriate for treatment?
Treatments are effective for most individuals, including those with darker or tanned skin. Treatments work best on smaller veins. Consult with your physician to determine if your veins are appropriate for treatment.
How does the treatment work?
Laser light is delivered through the skin and into the vein. After heating, the vein walls collapse and seal shut. The sealed vein is then broken down and absorbed by the body.
What can I expect during the treatment?
You will start by meeting with your physician to discuss the treatment and your medical history. After your consultation, a thin layer of gel will be applied to the skin. The laser handpiece will be directed over the subject vein, which will, in many cases, disappear after a single pass.
Is the treatment painful?
Discomfort varies depending on the size and location of the vein. Many describe each laser pulse as feeling like the snap of a rubber band against the skin. As there can be moderate discomfort, your physician may offer an anesthetic gel to help reduce the pain.
What can I expect following each treatment?
In some cases, the treated region will be slightly swollen and tender to the touch for a day or two. A red mark, resembling a "cat scratch", can sometimes persist for a few weeks. After treatment you may be asked to avoid heavy exercise and wear sunscreen. Your physician will provide more detailed instructions following treatment.
How long do the treatments take?
Leg vein sessions can take about 30 minutes depending on the size of the treatment area. While some patients may be satisfied after just one treatment, two or more treatments may be needed to achieve desired results.
How long do results last?
The appearance of existing veins will be diminished or completely eliminated. However, the development of new veins cannot be prevented. If your body has an underlying vascular problem, you may need additional treatments.
Why should I have my leg veins treated with a laser?
Treatments quickly and effectively remove smaller leg veins with little pain or downtime.
