The Cutera Laser Veins difference.

How does Cutera laser Vein Therapy work?

The Cutera laser vein system deliver 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 with then be redirected to veins deeper below your skin’s surface, where it should be. 

How many laser vein removal treatments are needed and how long does it last?

This depends on the extent of your blood vessel damage that you have already accumulated. The amount of accumulated skin damage depends on your age, your genetic type and severity of your skin condition. Typically, 2-3 laser vein removal treatments maybe needed at monthly intervals with gratifying results. Touch up vein treatments every 6-12 months are usually needed in order to maintain the improvement of the skin. Since individual results vary, ask your medical professional about your specific condition. 

Do the treatment 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, the pain is minimal to nonexistent.  

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 less than 24 hours. 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.

When will I see results?

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 the Cutera Laser Vein.

Cutera Laser Vein Therapy for spider veins

Spider veins are small veins often found on the surface of the skin. They can be found on the legs, face and body, and are usually easily identified by their thin red or blue “branches”. Unlike varicose veins, spider veins do not cause discomfort, pain, heaviness or aching, nor do they present any significant health or vascular concerns such as blood clots, leg swelling, or skin discoloration. Cutera laser therapy can also be very effective for treating discoloration in the skin caused by sclerotherapy.  

What areas of the skin surface can be treated for vein removal?

Virtually any area of the body can be treated. Some examples of laser vein treatment areas are around the nose and eyes, the mouth, cheeks, and chin as wells as legs, ankles and thighs.
