For men as well as women, spider veins on the face are particularly disconcerting. Often mistakenly attributed to an unhealthy lifestyle, these facial telangiectasia are usually caused by environmental damage or genetic predisposition.
Since the development of the CoolGlide XEO™ laser system, however, the impact of these vessels on patients has become much less. Providing laser light at 1064 nm, the CoolGlide XEO™ coagulates the hemoglobin molecules within the tiny vessels and allows the body to reabsorb them. The precise laser beam treats only the targeted vessels with a specially designed headpiece that leaves the surrounding tissue intact.
Depending upon the number of veins treated, a typical session can last up to several minutes.
Each patient receives a personal consultation with the doctor prior to any procedure being performed. After changing into a luxurious robe in the adjoining Agua Serena Spa, the patient is escorted into a comfortable room where anesthetic cream is applied if the patient desires.
Treatments usually take up to several minutes depending upon the number of vessels to be treated. Following the treatment there is usually no downtime and patients can return to their daily routine without interruption.
More than one treatment may be necessary depending upon the number, size, and color of the veins.
If you have any question about laser vein therapy and its suitability for you, please telephone the office at 760-674-4106 and reserve time with us for your personal, complimentary consultation.
