Fine red and purple thread veins on the thighs and the lower legs are named on the US label in words, leg telangiectasias and superficial leg veins, and the legs are among the areas InMode names for Lumecca, "even legs". The sun spots of the shins are treated the same way as the arms. Usually three sessions about four weeks apart in our practice, at Lumecca Clinic, 130 Harley Street, with the price in writing at a free consultation.
What it does on the legs
The red of a fine vein absorbs the flash and the vein fades over the weeks after each session, and the brown of a sun spot darkens and flakes. Leg veins respond less than the face in our experience, because the vessels are deeper and the legs are slow to heal. Larger blue veins are a different treatment, which the clinician names at the free consultation, and varicose veins are a doctor's question first.
The session and after
The cooled window on the skin, a snap with each flash, about 20 to 40 minutes depending on the area. Pink and warm for a few hours, the veins darker for a day or two and fading over weeks, the spots flaking over one to two weeks. Sunscreen on the legs and no sun for the four weeks around each session, in our practice. The rosacea and thread veins page covers veins on the face, and the sessions page the course.
Who it suits
Fair to olive skin with fine thread veins or sun spots on the legs, with no current tan, in someone who will keep the legs out of the sun through the course. A history of a clot in the leg is a reason to ask your doctor first. The full guide covers the rest.
