Unwanted Vein Treatment
Veinwave™ Vein Elimination
One of the latest advancements in vein treatment is the use of Veinwave™, an FDA-approved, electrical vein-eliminating technology, that reduces the look of spider veins of the face and legs in patients.
The principle behind Veinwave™’s effectiveness is thermocoagulation: using heat, ultra-fine needles, and various techniques to treat a variety of unsightly veins. Unlike other treatments, the electrical Veinwave™ device does not penetrate the vein itself but instead is applied subepidermally, only penetrating the top layers of skin. This minimally invasive technology provides immediate results and allows patients to go on with their everyday activities right after treatment. Because it is not a laser-based technology, Veinwave™ can be used on any skin type without the risk of discoloration.
Depending on the patient, Veinwave™ may require one or two visits for maximum effectiveness. We invite you to schedule a consultation to start a treatment plan specifically for you.

Spider and Varicose Vein Treatment FAQs
What are spider veins?
Spider veins are the small, dilated veins seen frequently on the thighs, around the knees, on the calves, and around the ankles.
Do spider veins serve a purpose?
No, spider veins represent dilation of surface vessels secondary to increased pressure in the deeper veins.
What is the average recovery time for vein treatment?
Typically, there is no downtime with laser vein removal procedures and Veinwave™, but it all depends on the patient and the area(s) of treatment. Some patients may experience minor bruising and pain, but they can usually continue normal activity.
Patients are encouraged to resume normal activity one week after their treatment(s), but are advised to avoid squatting, heavy lifting, and running. Any bruising will start to disappear after that first week, and the patient should be back to normal within a month.
