Individuals suffering from telangiectasia (aka spider veins) leg veins may receive relief through a treatment with indocyanine green-augmented diode laser therapy results. The treatment results in good to excellent clearing of the veins and the patients don’t appear to have any lingering side effects, according to a study published in Lasers in Surgery and Medicine.
The safety and efficacy of this treatment (called ICG-augmented diode laser therapy) has been tested on 15 female patients. During the course of treatment, the ICG was given intravenously while diode laser pulses at differing radiant exposures were then applied during a single treatment session.
In a both one and three month follow ups after the treatments, the safety and positive impacts of the treatments were evaluated by both the patient and the researchers. It was found that the safety of the treatment was rated highly for all of the patients and none noted any lingering side effects. By comparison, as noted in the study, “Clearance of vessels was found to be dose-dependent; diode laser treatment at radiant exposures between 100 and 110 J/cm^2 led to good clearance, which improved to excellent when double pulses were applied. Poor-to-moderate clearance of leg veins was seen with diode laser therapy without ICG and with pulsed dye laser treatment.”
Overall, researchers found the therapy to be a “safe and effective treatment option for telangiectasia leg veins.”
