Description
Marcos Maraskin Fonseca and seven co-authors run a trial comparing a laser-plus-cooling vein treatment with standard injections for spider veins. Their randomized trial was published in twenty twenty-six. The target is the mildest class of leg vein disease: fine web veins and small reticular veins.
Fifty-six women with light skin types were randomized, one leg treated each. The hybrid method pairs a laser with strong glucose solution and cooling. The standard method mixes glucose with a detergent drug. Standard photos tracked looks over ninety days; fifty-four women finished the follow-up. The trial judges whether the hybrid's extra machinery truly beats the classic approach on appearance. Results guide clinics that sell cosmetic vein care.
