The GentleYAG is designed to deliver single concentrated light beams which is attracted to and absorbed by the dilated vessels in the skin. Light is converted into thermal energy which stimulated collagen syntheses and causes the vessel wall to collapse. The vessel wall and it’s contents are reabsorbed by the body, and gradually fade away.

Not all patients describe Vascular Treatment as painful. Most patients describe vascular treatments as mildly uncomfortable and feelings similar to a light flick of an elastic band. Since each person’s skin type, and strength of the laser can vary, treatments are easily customized towards each patient.

After Vascular Treatment at Ultimate Image MedSpa, you will notice an immediate difference in the number of visible veins. Every patient’s number of treatments will vary due to patient’s body factors like vessel depth, diameter and colors. The majority of people average 3-5 sessions of Vascular Treatment to permanently remove unwanted vessels.

Variables such as the size and type of veins being treated determine the number of treatments required. On average, clients see optimal results after 2-3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

During the two weeks leading up to your session, avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanning products. Additionally, you should avoid taking aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood-thinning medications a few days before your treatment unless prescribed by your doctor.

It is common to experience mild redness or swelling after the treatment, which typically subsides within a few hours. Protect the treated area from direct sunlight by wearing sunscreen. Most clients can return to their regular activities directly after the procedure.
