Could lasers possibly help treat veracose veins?

I don’t personally have any but I have a few relatives that are in there 50s that have them. One of them is thinking about getting them surgically removed.

Yes, I’ve treated varicose veins on a relative with a 40 mW 650 nm laser.  Treatment time was about 10 minutes. 

Yes, it works very well!  Highly recommended. 

If I had to do it over again would recommend around 100 mW with adjustable focusing lens to speed up results.  Would also recommend laser googles but good sunglasses may be OK so long as you don’t shine laser directly around face. 

Small spider veins would recommend high dose K2 as that also works.

Interesting JDP. I wonder if OMG would make me a small hand held device or if he has any 100 mw lasers. I’m very curious to see how this works and would post results. How many lasers did you use to treat them? Did you do it every other day?

I personally used this one http://aixiz.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=44_26&products_id=130

If I had to do it again I would do this.

No need to use more than one laser.  Just hit the varicose vein directly with the laser beam and experiment with how large of a spot size then gauge results and then try again several days later and so on till the varicose vein gets less and less.

There are other cheaper lasers out there but don’t know how reliable they would be.

I appreciate the info Jdp. Im going to order this soon and will let you know the results. How big were the ones you healed. My relatives seem quite large and says they get worse towards the end of the day.

They were large but not the largest you’ve ever seen. 

If they go to a professional to have it done they’ll use a much more powerful laser to kill it and be done in a couple sessions.  The laser above will take longer and require a lot more sessions but results speak for themselves and don’t have to worry about side effects.

JDP-

Do you know if 150mW 808nm lasers would work on varicose/spider veins?

Varicose veins are can be at our head also and it can remove our hair. And if you want to go for head varicose treatment then you need to remove all the hair and need to take some physical steps.

Hello, Thought I mention a bit of my own experience here on spider veins. I just had some spider veins treated from around my nose and cheeks area. Got some bruising happening right now which is normal after having a laser treatment of this nature done. Can’t see the full outcome yet as the bruising is covering up much of the area were the spider veins ones existed.

The office used a Candela Pulsed-Dye Vbeam Laser Pen. The lazer was a 595 nm wavelength. This type of setup basically selectively targets the blood vessels of your spider veins without damaging any surrounding tissue. The vessels are then instantly destroyed and or vaporized. I must say you can feel it when this is going on. There is like a needle pinching feeling that is going on which the nurse said was from the vessels burning up.

All in all it was a fairly quick procedure. About 20 minutes. She also went on to mention that after the bruising clears up my skin should look much improved as the treatment will encourage the growth of new collagen in the area. We’ll see. Maybe about 8 days before the bruising is all gone.  :\

In any event, thought I add this to the post, laser treatments is known to be effective in treating spider veins and varicose veins.

One interesting note that I found here is there use of pulsed laser light to perform this treatment. Looks like the industry has been using this technology for some time now. It coincides with the theory that pulsed lasers devices can be beneficial and or helpful in the salvation and possible improvements with its usage on ones hair. Sorry for going a bit off topic, couldn’t resist.  (=

Hey Addicted,

Interesting point about the pulsed laser mate. A very different application to what we are using with LLLT however still interesting. I have believed for some time now that pulsed LLLT is the sleeping giant of LLLT.

Pulsed modalities of treatment have been available for years in other forms of biomedicine so it seems obvious to me that it should also apply to LLLT. About 14 years ago I broke one of my legs and part of my recovery involved physiotherapy using a pulsed electromagnetic device that was designed to stimulate blood flow at the break site – sounding familiar?


PulseDrive allows you too cheaply, easily and instantly convert your constant wave laser helmet into a pulsed laser helmet. Just plug in PulseDrive and our Spectralight power adaptor in place of your old power supply and your done! Check it out for yourself at Spectralight.com.au

Hey, Addicted!

That’s great info, man!  I’ll eventually develop the wiki of this site, and I’ll put that info in there!  I’d like to eventually put all the info at Laser.Nu in there as well -should only take me about 15 years! lol…

Also, actually on Sept 6th, a new study about how LLLT induces collegen creation was released as well.  I’ll have to post that soon!

Hey Zone, Yes I do think we are on to something here with this pulsed device. I recently read a report about pulsed LLLT devices and continuous light that was used on Rats that had second degree burns. While both reports went on to say that both groups of rats showed positive healing benefits, however the rate of improvement was greater on the rats that used the pulsed wave laser.

Now I realize were talking rats here, but if this can accelerate and equally regenerate this healing effect on them then it would seem practical that we too can possibly benefit from an increase rate of healing by use of this pulsed setup. I haven’t had the opportunity to try this out yet, but the research you find out there sure is convincing.

I’m looking forward to this device becoming available here.  =]

Hey OMG, thanks for your comments. I’m still getting use to the site here. Will have to stop by and take a look at the wiki section. So much great information here through many of the posts already on this site. Can’t stop reading the many informative posts here. Good Stuff.

That’s interesting news regarding the LLLT for collagen stimulation. The clinic I went to also offers this service. They use two different types of lasers to produce this. One is the pulsed-dye laser that produces a 595nm wavelength of laser light and the other is a Q-switched (not sure what this is) that produces a 1064nm wavelength of laser light. There is some form of heating action that goes on deep in the dermal layer which causes collagen fibers to re-strand, and enhance smooth collagen-supported skin. That’s from what I understood.

Interesting stuff here. I think were on the right track with these laser devices. Soon we should be able to cure all our ailments. hehe.
