The number of treatments needed to achieve optimal results from laser vascular closure depends on a number of factors, such as:
- the extent and depth of blood vessels,
- individual skin response to treatment,
- type of laser used.
In most cases, patients may notice an improvement after the first treatment, but a series of 2 to 4 sessions is often needed for full, long-lasting effect.
For small vascular lesions, such as spider veins on the face, one or two treatments may be sufficient. In contrast, more extensive and deep vessels, such as on the legs, may require several sessions to effectively close them. It is also worth noting that each vessel may respond differently to laser therapy, so some lesions may require additional treatments.
The interval between treatments is usually between 4 and 6 weeks, allowing the skin to recover and assess the progress of the treatment. After this time, the doctor assesses whether the treatment should be repeated. Sometimes it is possible to achieve the desired effect after a single session, but in most cases a multi-step approach guarantees the best results.
It should also be borne in mind that the effects of laser vessel sealing are long-lasting, but it cannot be ruled out that new capillaries will appear in przyszłości, especially in people who are prone to their formation. Further treatments may then be necessary. It is advisable to regularly check the condition of the skin and, if necessary, take measures to prevent recurrence.
A consultation with an experienced specialist is crucial to individually tailor the treatment plan to the patient's needs. The doctor will assess the condition of the skin, determine the optimal number of treatments and select the appropriate laser technique to achieve the best possible results.
