Patient discomfort is minimal and well tolerated by most people. Following the treatment, light compression is applied for 12 to 24 hours, after which the patient may resume all normal activities. Within six weeks, treated vessels should be noticeably diminished.

The process can be safely repeated until all affected areas have improved to the patient’s satisfaction. In addition, the Versapulse® C Aesthetic Laser can be used in conjunction with the therapy in order to treat the widest possible range of vessel size and pattern. In many cases this will decrease the number of injections required to achieve optimal results.
