What are Spider Veins?

What are CoolGlide Excel treatments like?
|
 |
 |
CoolGlide Excel delivers pulses of light energy which cause the blood within the vein to coagulate, eventually destroying the vessels. CoolGlide Excel treats the targeted vessels, leaving the surrounding tissue intact. Treatments usually take several minutes, depending on the number of vessels treated and their location.
How many treatments do I need?
Often, patients find that one treatment is sufficient for their vein removal needs. However, for optimal results, multiple treatments may be necessary. The number of treatments necessary depends on the number of vessels being treated, and the color and size of those vessels. Since individual results vary, ask your medical professional about your specific condition.
Do the treatments hurt?
Most patients experience a stinging sensation as the pulses of energy are delivered through the handpiece. Although no local anesthesia or pain medication is typically required, many patients opt to use a topical anesthetic prior to treatment. Following the treatment, the pain is minimal to nonexistent.
What happens after the treatment?
Following your treatment, some redness or bruising may occur. When larger veins are treated, a tan or brownish pigment may persist for a few weeks or months following treatment. Patients who have leg vein treatments may also be advised to wear support hose for a short period of time to help keep pressure on the veins.
What are the possible side effects?
Although many patients report few if any side effects, those most commonly noticed are slight reddening and local swelling of the skin. These effects typically last for 24 hours or less. Some patients may experience bruising, and in rare instances, blistering may occur. Consult with your medical professional for complete information on the benefits and risks of treatment.
How long do the results last?
Most patients find that the majority of the treated veins have shown significant improvement within two to six weeks of treatment. However, your final results may not be apparent for several months. Over time, it is possible for new veins to appear, but these too can be removed with CoolGlide Excel.
