Varicose Vein Therapy
Q & A
Q:What causes unwanted veins?A:Red, blue or purple leg and facial veins can be a result of sun exposure, use of oral contraception, hormone therapy, age or genetics.
Q:How does laser treatment work?A:The Cynosure Elite™ emits a prescribed dose of light energy to the vein 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 you skin's surface, where it should be. The laser selectively targets the problem veins while sparing surrounding areas.
Q:What types of veins can be treated?A:The Cynosure Elite™ can remove unsightly veins from all parts of the body. Small facial veins can be treated quickly without bruising or complication. Spider veins and large blue veins can also be treated with excellent results. Knotty varicose veins are not good candidates. A careful evaluation with your provider will help you determine which vessels can be treated and the best course of treatment.
Q:How many treatments are required?A:Typically only two to three treatments are required and results can be seen in 3-4 weeks. Treatment time usually varies between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area treated.
Q:Does it hurt?A:The treatment causes only minimal discomfort. Any redness or swelling should be gone within a day and you'll be able to resume most activities.
