Lasers and IPL are minimally invasive treatments which can be used to remove vascular lesions on the face, body and legs quickly and effectively. Venous Lake treatment will take approximately 1-3 sessions to clear the lesion.
HOW ARE VENOUS LAKES REMOVED?
-
The laser light passes safely through the skin which is readily absorbed by blood vessels, but not by the surrounding skin, heating them to point where the blood in the targeted blood vessel coagulates.
​
-
This causes the vein to coagulate and break down. The damaged veins are gradually dissolved and removed naturally by the body, fading their appearance over several weeks after treatment, leaving little or no trace of the original vein.
​
Between one to three sessions is usually required to obtain satisfactory results. Rarely more treatments maybe required, or in some very rare cases, the vein may not respond.

WHAT ARE VENOUS LAKES?
The term “Thread Vein” is used for a range of presentations of redness or blood vessels usually affecting the face or legs, although they can appear almost anywhere on the body.
​
Veins can present in the following ways:
​
-
Thread Veins
-
Spider Veins (also known as Spider Naevi)
-
Broken Capillaries
-
Flushing
-
Cuperose
-
Telangiectasias
-
Rosacea
WHAT CAUSES THREAD VEINS?
Thread Veins are often seen at birth when the skin is very thin and pale, and they can therefore be considered a normal feature of the skin. However as we age, veins can become more prominent due to the follow causes:
​
-
Sun damage
-
Extreme Temperature changes
-
Alcohol
-
Genetics
-
Skin conditions ie Rosacea; Scleroderma; Lupus (SLE)
-
Stress
-
Hormonal Changes ie Menopause
-
Medications ie Corticosteroids
-
Tobacco
-
Pregnancy
-
Ageing
CAN WE TREAT ALL SKIN TYPES?
We use the Gold Standard for venous lakes with the 1064nm Nd:YAG Laser. The longer wavelength of Nd:YAG is renowned for it’s safety in all skin types, including darker type 4-6 skin. This includes Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Latin, Asian and Black skin types.

Spider Veins Treatment
​
I cannot recommend Dr Berry highly enough. From the exceptionally thorough initial consultation to the actual Lyndon laser treatment of the spider veins on my cheek area.
Dr Berry has such a lovely, welcoming manner and totally put me at ease. Explaining what would happen during, after the procedure and any possible side effects of which I experienced none.
Have to say have been delighted with the results and after three sessions there has been a very significant reduction in the spider veins!
Thank you, Dr Berry.
