Yag Vein Treatments
YAG vein treatment is a non-invasive laser procedure designed to target and reduce the appearance of spider veins and small vascular lesions on the face and body. Using a high-intensity Nd:YAG laser, this treatment delivers energy to the affected veins, causing them to collapse and gradually fade without harming the surrounding skin.
This kind of treatment is ideal for the upper face (horizontal frown lines, crows feet and glabellar lines) giving you a more relaxed and well rested look.
