 Treatment
with a Lyra Laser System Can Quickly and Safely Eliminate
Leg Veins
No other
treatment can give you such effective results as the Lyra. The redness and
bruising associated with traditional treatments or other lasers are
minimized or completely eliminated. Lyra provides the most risk free
treatment for dark or tanned skin than any other existing modalities.
 How Does the
Lyra Work?
The Lyra laser produces 1064nm wavelength. While the rest of the skin is
almost completely transparent for this wavelength, it is highly absorbed
in blood. Thus, the laser beam passes through the skin and penetrates the
targeted vessel. The laser energy heats up and coagulates blood inside the
vessel. Unsupported, vessel walls collapse and seal. These vessels later
dissolve within the body. The laser energy is delivered through a hand-held device with a cooling tip. The
cooling tip provides additional safety and comfort during the treatment by
lowering the thermal effect on your skin surface.
What Can I
Expect During the Treatment?
You will experience a stinging burning sensation during the treatment,
which resolves immediately after the treatment is over. In some cases, we
may use topical anesthetic cream to eliminate discomfort.
What Can I
Expect Following the Treatment?
The appearance of the treated vessels will dramatically change turning
from blue and purple into light red. Some of the vessels may bulge, but
any inflammation will disappear within a couple of hours. The redness of
the treated vessels will gradually disappear as the healing occurs. This
may take between 2 and 6 weeks. You may be asked to wear support hose,
avoid medication containing aspirin, and wear sunscreen. We will discuss
these options with you during your consultation.
How Many
Treatments Will I Need?
Depending on the severity of the veins, you may require between one and
three treatments six weeks apart. The treatment is performed on the
existing vessels, diminishing or completely eliminating their appearance.
Unfortunately, the development of new veins cannot be prevented, so you
may need additional treatments later.
