LASER VEIN REMOVAL 

Spider veins are named after the “web” of blue or red veins that often begin to appear near the surface of our skin.

This hereditary phenomenon is caused by an increase of pressure in our veins as we age. Most commonly found behind the knee, unsightly spider veins can make both men and women feel tremendously self-conscious. The occurrence of dark spider veins often keeps people from enjoying social occasions and wearing the outfits they once loved. Traditionally, those brave enough, have turned to sclerotherapy, where unwanted veins are injected with a solution that irritates the blood vessel and causes it to collapse. 

CoolGlide® Laser Vein Removal provides a modern and effective alternative to treating bothersome spider veins!

Our CoolGlide® 1064 YAG laser permanently destroys spider and reticular veins on any part of the body and is safer and less painful than sclerotherapy injections. This non-invasive treatment uses light energy to cause the vein to shrink and ultimately disappear. Typically, leg veins can be treated in just three sessions and facial veins in just one. Cherry Hemangiomas (small red dots) that appear on many areas of the body are also treatable with CoolGlide® – no compression garments or prolonged downtime needed!

EXPERT TIP:

Treatments should be spaced six to eight weeks apart. Many people go on vacation in the spring and summer where they want to wear skirts and shorts, but are too embarrassed by spider veins to show their legs. Ideally, these patients should start their laser vein treatments in the winter. That way, there will be plenty of time to complete all the sessions needed in order for them to enjoy their results by spring or early summer.
