Is Lyra™ right for you?

To determine if the Laser Vein removal for face and/or body is right for you, call to schedule a private consultation. Please refrain from taking Aspirin, or iron medication the day before and the day of the consultation so you may be able to have a treatment that day.

How does the Lyra work?

The Lyra laser produces 1064mm 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, you may prefer to use a topical anesthetic cream, which may completely eliminate any discomfort.

What should I expect after the procedure?

The appearance of the treated vessels will dramatically change, turning from blue and purple into light red. Some of the vessels may bulge, however, any inflammation will disappear within a couple of hours. The redness of the treated vessels will gradually disappear as the healing process occurs, which may take anywhere between 2 and 6 weeks depending on the severity of the veins.

Have you been covering your legs with opaque panty-hose?

Have you been avoiding wearing short skirts or shorts in the summertime?

Is it because your legs have recently developed a network of red or blue or purple veins that make your legs look unattractive?

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. However, the development of new veins cannot be prevented. If your body tends to develop vascular problems you will most likely need to come back for additional treatments.

The post-operative treatment regime may include wearing support hose, avoiding medication containing aspirin and wearing sunscreen. Make sure to discuss these options with your laser practitioner prior to the treatment.
