For men as well as women, the presence of unsightly spider veins on the legs or on the face can ruin the appearance of the most well-cared for body, and add years to one's apparent age. The good news is that these fine red and blue veins can be addressed with the latest medical laser therapy.
Our state-of-the-art CoolGlide XEO™ laser system manufactured by Cutera Medical, formerly Altus Medical is virtually tailor-made for this purpose. At 1064 nm, it provides the best wavelength for thin and thick vessels while avoiding pigment formation in the surrounding skin. The critical 1064 nm frequency coagulates the hemoglobin molecule allowing the body to resorb the vessel. Precise laser energy is delivered to the targeted vessel through a special handpiece in a brief pulse that usually creates no skin irritation.
Before therapy, each patient receives a personal consultation during which the spider veins are identified and the treatment outlined. After changing into a luxurious robe in the magnificent Agua Serena Spa, a light anesthetic cream is spread over the area to be treated. Pulses of laser energy are then delivered to each vessel, coagulating the blood with little or no discomfort. Treatments usually take several minutes depending upon the number of vessels treated and their location. There is usually no downtime and patients can return to their daily routine without interruption.
Over the next several weeks the body is allowed to resorb the vessel. Occasionally a retreatment at four weeks is necessary for maximum long-term resolution.
If you have any questions about your veins or about this remarkable treatment, we are, of course, always available for consultation. Please telephone the office at 760-674-4106 to reserve your personal time.
