Laser Vein Treatment

How Laser Vein Therapy Works

The Cutera CoolGlide laser delivers pulses of light energy, which causes the blood within the vein to coagulate, eventually destroying the vessel, which is later absorbed by your body. Blood flow will then be redirected to veins deeper below your skin’s surface, just where it should be.

All parts of the body can be treated with the Cutera CoolGlide Laser. Both men and women can now seek treatments for the blood vessels on the thighs, lower legs, ankles, chest, nose, and face. Treatment is also effective for those with acne, rosacea, sun damage, broken capillaries, broken blood vessels, and more.

Laser Vein Therapy Results

The unique design of the CoolGlide Laser coupled with the long wavelength allows people of all skin types and colors to have great results. Patients often find that 1-2 treatments are sufficient to see improvement in their veins. However, the number of treatments necessary depends on the number, color, and size of the vessels being treated. The majority of patients see significant improvement within 2-6 weeks of treatment. A fewer number of treatments are needed when the skin is light colored. We do not treat patients with fresh sunburned skin.
