Does laser light therapy involve a laser being put in the vein or is the laser shone on the vein externally?

Lasers are used for both. Endovenous laser ablation means that the laser is put into the vein. External lasers or IPL can be used to treat the veins from outside the skin. The pigments in the skin absorb the light from the device and then convert it to heat. Think of a black car and white car out in the sun. The black car absorbs the light and converts to heat while the white car reflects the light.
