FAQs

How many treatment sessions are required?
This can vary depending on the size and color of the vessel. Typically angiomas and spider veins will disappear completely after 1-2 treatments although in some cases more treatments may be necessary.

Do I need to use topical anesthesia? What about gels?
No. Anesthetics and cooling gels are not needed with LightPod lasers, because 650-microsecond technology makes it uniquely pain-free. This unique benefit saves time, cost, and mess by eliminating gels and sprays required by other lasers that cool the skin during treatment.

Is it painful?
There is a mild sensation of heat that is very tolerable. This is one of the key technical breakthroughs of Aerolase technology! LightPod lasers have set a new standard for virtually pain-free treatment, even on darker skin types, thanks to 650-microsecond technology. This unique benefit saves time, cost, and mess by eliminating gels and sprays required by other lasers that cool the skin during treatment.

What causes vascular lesions to form?
Vascular lesions can form due to a backup of blood for a number of reasons including aging, sun exposure, pregnancy, and hormonal changes as well as certain types of injuries.

Is it permanent, or do the vessels come back?
Many vessels will be gone permanently, but due to the skin aging, continued sun exposure, and hormonal changes, new vessels will likely develop over time and more treatments will need to be performed. To slow the aging process and reduce the likeliness of new vessels developing, patients should always apply sunblock when in the sun and avoid prolonged sun exposure.
