DIODE LASER FOR THREAD VEIN REMOVAL
Diode laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment used to effectively reduce and eliminate thread veins (spider veins). The laser targets visible veins on the face and body, using controlled heat to collapse and break them down, allowing the body to naturally absorb them over time.
Thread Vein Removal for Face and Body
​
Our diode laser for thread vein removal (also known as spider veins) is a high grade laser device designed to target and eliminate spider veins and small, visible blood vessels (also known as telangiectasia) on the face and body. It operates at a specific wavelength (usually 980nm or 810nm) that is well-absorbed by hemoglobin in the blood, allowing it to selectively heat and coagulate the veins without damaging the surrounding skin.
​
This process, called selective photothermolysis, causes the treated veins to collapse and be gradually reabsorbed by the body, leading to clearer, more even-toned skin. Diode lasers are popular for minimally invasive vascular treatments due to their precision, minimal discomfort, and quick recovery time.
How Does Diode Laser Work for Thread Veins?:
​​
1. Targeted Laser Energy – The diode laser emits a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by the blood within the thread veins.
​
2. Heat Absorption – This heat causes the vein walls to break down and collapse.
3. Natural Removal – The body gradually absorbs and eliminates the treated vein through the lymphatic system.
4. Clearer Skin – The surrounding skin remains unaffected, and over time, the treated area looks smoother and more even-toned.
Results in 3-6 Sessions
Laser treatment for thread vein removal is a quick and effective solution to improve skin appearance. This method especially successful for fine facial thread veins that may not be for sclerotherapy. Using thermocoagulation, the laser emits a concentrated beam of light that is absorbed by the blood, causing the targeted veins to heat up, coagulate, and eventually fade away. With minimal risk involved, most patients require a course of 3-6 sessions, typically spaced four weeks, to achieve optimal results.
Intimate Health:

CO2 laser vaginal tightening is an innovative treatment that uses high-energy carbon dioxide lasers to rejuvenate and tighten the vaginal tissues. By delivering precise laser energy to the vaginal walls, this non-invasive procedure stimulates collagen production, improves blood circulation, and promotes tissue regeneration. As a result, vaginal laxity is reduced, and symptoms such as urinary incontinence and vaginal dryness may be alleviated.
