• Visualization of the below skin “feeder veins” using augmented reality (VeinViewer) allowing targeting for treatment
• Laser treatment of the “feeder veins” below the skin
• Laser treatment of the spider veins
• Sclerotherapy of the “feeder veins”
• Sclerotherapy of the spider veins
• Skin anesthesia: a numbing of the skin during the laser and injections with ice cold air blown on the skin resulting in minimal discomfort
