Our GentleYAG® laser emits a specialised light that passes through the skin and preferentially heats up the targeted blood vessels and closes them up. A burst of cooling gas (DCD) will protect the upper layer of your skin to minimise any side effects.
The treatment feels like a rubber band snapping accompanied by a burst of cooling gas. Anaesthetic cream is usually applied before the procedure to numb the treatment area. Any discomfort can be eased with the application of cold compresses afterwards.
If you have a history of cold sores, please notify your Singapore dermatologist. Excessive sun exposure should be avoided 1–2 weeks before and after treatment.
The treated veins will become less obvious after 1–2 weeks. Side effects are few and may include redness, swelling, blistering and bruising in the treated area - these usually do not last more than a few days. Permanent side effects are rare. However, be sure to consult your doctor when in doubt.
