Lyra laser system for broken capillaries/spider veins on face and legs

Have you been covering your legs with opaque pantyhose?
Have you been avoiding wearing short skirts or shorts in the summer time?
Is it because you have developed a network of red or blue or purple veins that make your legs look unattractive?

We have a solution for you!

Now the revolutionary new laser treatment with the Lyra laser system can quickly and safely remove these vessels, leaving your skin looking smooth and your legs beautiful again. 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. And best of all, Lyra-i 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, you may be offered 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 be gradually disappearing as the healing process occurs, which may take anywhere between 2 and 6 weeks depending on the severity of the veins.

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

How many treatments will I need?

Depending on the severity of the veins, you may require anywhere 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 come back for additional treatments.
