How Does 980 nm Laser Works in Spider Vein Treatment?

Spider veins are small red or purple blood vessels that appear on the surface of the skin. They are often seen as unsightly blemishes on facial, legs and arms. There are many different types of laser for spider vein treatment today. One such treatment is called spider vein removal using a 980nm diode laser.

Laser Therapy for Spider Vein Treatment

During diode laser 980 nm treatment, a laser is used to destroy the blood vessels. The laser transmits light waves that are absorbed by the red blood cells in the veins. Heat is then produced within the veins, causing them to shrink and disappear. 980 nm Laser therapy is very effective for facial Spider Vein Treatment.

It may also be used to treat other areas of the body such as legs. However, it is not recommended for treating leg veins because they are often too deep to reach with the laser beam.
