Laser vessel sealing is a safe and effective treatment, but there are several contraindications that may prevent it from being performed.
These include:
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding
- Active skin infections (e.g. herpes)
- Fresh tan or use of self-tanners
- Chronic diseases such as diabetes (unregulated), blood clotting disorders, cancer
- Use of photosensitizing drugs or supplements with photosensitizing effects
- A tendency to scarring
A detailed consultation with a doctor is always carried out before the procedure to assess the patient's health and rule out any contraindications.
