The first treatment of Laser Closure of Blood Vessels  XLase Plus is preceded with a dermatological consultation. Our qualified Clients will have a patch test.

  • the skin should not be tanned (suntan, self-tanner)
  • important – 24 hours before and after the procedure do not consume alcohol
  • the skin should be clean – creams and lotions shouldn’t be used

The procedure does not require anaesthesia. The laser is often felt as a minor burning or pinching, which may be increased when closing the vessels in sensitive areas or when closing larger vessels on the legs. The comfort of the patient is improved by applying a cold gel on the skin during the procedure, and after the treatment cold packs are applied to the area. The treatment area will be slightly red, and a small scab will form, this will fall off after a few days.

After the treatment, increased skin sensitivity may occur.

    alcohol-based cosmetics, soap or exfoliating cosmetics should be avoided)
