Bared Monkey Med Spa offers the latest technology Candela GentleMax Pro – Long Pulse Yag laser therapy for the safe, effective treatment of unsightly spider veins on the face and legs.
Patients often see immediate improvement in smaller spider veins after treatment. For larger veins of the legs, the veins will gradually fade over a period of four to six weeks.
WHAT IS SPIDER VEINS:
A common condition that occurs as a result of prolonged standing and walking, pregnancy, hormones, genetics or age itself is spider veins.
Spider veins (a.k.a telangiectasia or venulectasias) looks like a group of tiny red, blue or purple thread-like veins in the shape of a spider web, close to the surface of the skin. These veins can develop on almost any part of the body and face, but most frequently on thighs, calves, ankles or buttocks.
Resolve this issue with the GentleMax Pro laser!
HOW DOES IT WORK:
GentleMax Pro Laser treatment for spider veins is a quick, effective and noninvasive procedure that uses a focused beam of light to heat and destroy affected veins. When laser energy is applied to the treatment area, it will be absorbed by the red blood cells in the spider vein and causes the vein to be damaged. The damaged veins ultimately collapse and are re-absorbed by the body.

AFTER TREATMENT:

The discomfort can be cured with some ice and aloe vera. This feeling could last either a few hours, or up to 2 days.
There’s very little downtime after this treatment. Directly after the treatment, avoid extreme heat, sun exposure, exfoliating or irritating products.
If you’re going to spend time in the sun, use lots of sunscreen!
