The Harmony® Multi-Application System is used for the non-invasive treatment of unsightly leg veins is one of the most requested, yet challenging of aesthetic procedures. Because of the various diameters, depths and pressures found with these vessels, their treatment often requires a wide range of wavelengths, pulse widths and fluences. Using a combination of therapies, such as those included on the Harmony system, physicians are able to treat small, superficial telangiectasias (spider veins) and slightly larger "reticular" veins.
In accordance with the principle of "selective photothermolysis", these spider veins can be selectively heated and collapsed without damaging surrounding, healthy tissue. Depending on the nature of the vessels, multiple treatments may need to be used to produce the optimal effect.
