During the treatment, it is possible that you experience a warm and/or tingling sensation. In general, the treatment is not considered painful. We can cool the skin during the treatment using water spray cooling.

At Skin Project, you are always advised and treated by an experienced HBO-trained paramedical skin therapist. We specialize in a personal approach using various combination techniques with high-end equipment, home products, and medical peels. This way, we make your skin shine again.

Your skin may be burning, red, and slightly swollen after the treatment. The degree of redness and swelling depends on your skin type and the intensity of the treatment. These skin reactions usually disappear within a few hours after the treatment. The treated leg veins may temporarily darken due to the treatment. This is completely normal and will recover after a few days. The subcutaneous discoloration of the veins may last for several weeks.

For a safe treatment and optimal result, your skin must not be tanned by the sun or cosmetic tanning products. This means that you should not expose your skin to the sun, tanning bed, tanning sprays, or self-tanning products four to six weeks before the treatment.

The exact cause of visible leg veins is not always traceable. What we do know is that these bothersome veins can arise from hereditary predisposition, pregnancy, aging, a standing profession, or a weakened vascular structure. The veins can have different colors: from small red veins to large purple/blue vessels. Sometimes they cluster together, making it look like a bruise from a distance. Besides being perceived as cosmetically disturbing, visible leg veins can also cause complaints, such as tired legs, restless legs, itching, and fluid retention (edema). Visible leg veins are no longer functional for your body and can therefore be safely removed. With our powerful leg vein laser, we can treat your unsightly veins in a safe and effective manner. For beautiful and even legs!

New visible leg veins can always arise, of course. Keep in mind that an annual maintenance treatment is sometimes necessary. We keep track of the progress with photos in your file. If you doubt whether you have an underlying problem or suffer a lot from varicose veins, please contact your doctor or vascular surgeon before the treatment.

No, the purple, red, or blue blood vessels are selectively heated, causing the skin around the vessels not to be damaged. The blood vessels are eventually cleared by the body itself. A laser treatment is therefore a safe way to reduce visible leg vessels.

Depending on the size and amount of visible leg veins, you will need about 3 to 5 treatments for the desired result. The recovery time is approximately 8 weeks. After 8 to 12 weeks, we will do a follow-up treatment. During the intake interview, we will create a personal treatment plan for you. After a varicose vein treatment, often visible leg veins remain. Therefore, have your varicose veins treated first before you have your veins lasered. This way, you will achieve an optimal result.

To prevent visible leg veins, we advise to move a lot, so that the calf muscle pump can do its job well. You can also wear therapeutic elastic stockings to prevent the formation of new veins.

Not all blood vessels can be treated with a laser. Purple blood vessels respond best to laser therapy. Fine red vessels are more of a challenge. Assume that we can remove about 70% of the visible vessels.
