Laser Genesis 1064 for Leg Veins

What it is:
A non-invasive laser treatment that uses 1064 nm Nd:YAG energy to heat and collapse small surface veins. The body naturally absorbs the treated veins over time.

Best for:
- Fine spider veins
- Superficial leg veins
- Patients who prefer a needle-free treatment

Treatment details:
- Typically 1–3 sessions per area
- Minimal downtime; redness may appear briefly
- Gradual fading over weeks

Pros:
- Non-invasive, needle-free
- Quick recovery
- Safe for most skin types

Considerations:
- Less effective on larger varicose veins or deeper reticular veins
- Multiple sessions may be required for optimal results

Asclera® Sclerotherapy

What it is:
A minimally invasive procedure where Asclera® (polidocanol) is injected directly into unwanted veins. This seals the vein, which is then naturally absorbed by the body over several weeks.

Best for:
- Small spider veins
- Reticular veins
- Patients seeking a gold-standard, proven approach

Treatment details:
- 1–6 sessions typical (average 3–4)
- Requires compression hose for post-treatment support
- Gradual fading of treated veins over weeks

Pros:
- Gold-standard for many vein types
- Can target deeper feeder veins

Considerations:
- Multiple sessions may be needed
- Slight bruising or tenderness is common

Asclera Sclerotherapy:

• Wear 15–20 mmHg compression hose continuously for 2–3 days, then during the day for 2–3 weeks

Who is a Good Candidate?

Both treatments are safe for most adults. Factors affecting results include:

• Severity and type of veins
• Skin tone
• Number of veins to be treated
• Patient preference regarding injections vs. needle-free treatment

Note: Patients with significant circulatory issues, coagulation disorders, insulin-dependent diabetes, or pregnancy may not be suitable for sclerotherapy. Laser therapy is generally safer for these populations but should be evaluated by your provider.
