Vascular Therapy

Now men and women alike are making unsightly facial and leg veins a thing of the past, thanks to the Cutera CoolGlide. No more painful injections! With the most advanced technology, a unique design, and a longer wavelength, we can safely and effectively treat both tiny superficial face veins and deeper blue leg veins on men and women of all skin tones.

Combining the ideal laser wavelength with the most flexible parameters delivers a superior result.  Our laser treats a broad range of vessels from tiny spider veins to deep blue reticular veins quickly, safely, and effectively. Patients with dark, light or tanned skin can experience outstanding results with minimal bruising or blistering.

Our laser system delivers pulses of light energy which cause the blood within the vein to coagulate, eventually destroying the vessel which is later reabsorbed by your body. Blood flow will then be redirected to veins deeper below your skin's surface, where it should be.

Often, patients find that one or two treatments are sufficient. However, the number of treatments necessary depends on the number, color, and size of the vessels being treated. Since individual results vary, Dr. Arora will consult with you about your specific condition.

Most patients experience a stinging sensation as the pulses of energy are delivered.  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.

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 less than 24 hours. Some patients may experience bruising and, in rare instances, blistering may occur. Dr. Arora will give you the complete information on the benefits and risks of the treatment.

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.
