The Laser bean is small with the diameter range between 0.2-0.5mm. This is the perfect size to target Thread Veins. The Laser energy is more focused and results in unnecessary heating of the surrounding tissues. This assists with reducing pain, redness and burning of the skin.

The 980nm wave length is a perfect wave length targeted to the vascular lesion. This means when the Laser is released onto the skin it goes deep enough to target the lesion without the energy being wasted by absorbing into surrounding tissues that will not assist the vein removal. The light is attracted to the target chromophore which is oxy-haemoglobin in the blood. As the light is absorbed by the blood vessels a heat reaction is caused which coagulates the blood and destroys the protein in the wall of the vessel. The vessel then breaks down and the debris is removed by the body's natural waste system.
