What is VeinWave and How Does It Work?
Spider veins and other vascular lesions can create discolorations in your face that may reduce your self-confidence and cause you to feel uncomfortable going without makeup. Veins that are large enough in diameter may be sealed off and eliminated with sclerotherapy, but this treatment may not successfully target the incredibly small blood vessels that appear on the face. VeinWave is a unique type of therapy that can reach even the smallest veins to help you achieve a favorable skin tone.
The Technology Behind VeinWave
VeinWave uses microwave currents to heat problem blood vessels so that their blood supply is cut off and they disappear from view. The microwave heat is delivered through very tiny needles that barely cause sensation when they prick the skin. Several currents may be used in a specific area so that the entire blood vessel is sealed while the surrounding tissue is unaffected.
Here are a few questions about VeinWave answered so you can determine if it is the right treatment for you:
1. Is VeinWave safe? The microwaves are completely safe, and they do not penetrate the skin deeply enough to cause any other lasting effects.
2. Can the treatment be used in areas besides the face? Yes, VeinWave is appropriate for use in other hard-to-treat areas where blood vessels may appear under the skin, such as the knees and ankles.
3. How many treatment sessions are needed? The severity of your individual case will determine the number of VeinWave sessions you require. Some cases are resolved in one treatment, and most are greatly improved in two to three sessions spaced four weeks apart. Each of these lasts about 15-30 minutes.
