Chat is DeaLight Photovascular Technology:
Photovascular Technology is a new definitive treatment for the smaller
spider veins and reticular veins of the legs. Frequently ropey veins collapse
at the end of treatment what no damage to the skin and no down time.
What causes spider and varicose veins?
Many factors contribute to the formation of varicose and spider veins.
The effects of time, gravity and genetic influence all cause veins, which
normally function to carry blood back to the heart, to lose the tight
seal of their valves causing blood to back up. This, in turn, forces the
thin walled veins to expand, resulting in ropey or blue reticular veins.
Engorged capillaries then expand several times their normal size forming
spider veins.
How can I determine if this treatment would be right for me?
Unsightly veins are always caused by a failure somewhere in the venous
system of your legs. Our comprehensive assessment and treatment regime
identifies the underlying cause of your varicose and spider veins and
effectively treats your veins so that they do not come back.
What is the treatment like?
The Photovascular Technology consists of a comprehensive primary treatment
with a follow-up visit in four weeks to check progress and determine if
a further treatment is necessary. The procedure is usually well tolerated.
The Photovascular Technology feels like a short, non-enduring sting resembling
the snap of a rubber band.
When will I be able to return to my normal activities?
Patients experience no down time. However, we encourage patients to
relax, avoid being on their feet long hours the first day after treatment
and refrain from taking a hot bath the first 24 hours. Aerobic exercise
can be resumed a few days later. You can return to work immediately.
What kind of results can be expected?
It is essential to have realistic expectations. The Photovascular
Technology heats and occludes treated vessels. The body then absorbs the
vessels in much the same way it does a bruise. Depending on how much tissue
must be absorbed, this process takes time. It does not erase veins immediately.
Many patients, especially those with big blue varicose veins, see excellent
results within one to two weeks, with some ropey veins disappearing at
the time of treatment. Patients with small spider veins find that most
of them will clear within four weeks. Because underlying problems are
addressed, spider veins are less likely to return.
