CUTERA COOLGLIDE VEIN THERAPY Now men and women alike are making unsightly facial and leg veins a thing of the past. No more painful injections! The Cutera CoolGlide combines the ideal laser wavelength with most flexible parameters to deliver a superior vascular laser system. It treats a broad range of vessels from tiny spider veins to deep blue veins quickly, safely, and effectively. How does CoolGlide Therapy work? The Cutera CoolGlide systems deliver pulses of light energy which cause the blood to coagulate, eventually destroying the vessel which is later absorbed by the body. Blood flow will be redirected to veins deeper below the skin’s surface. How many treatments are needed? Often, patients find that one or two treatments are sufficient. However, the number of treatments necessary depends on the number, color, and size of the vessels being treated. Individual results may vary. Do the treatments hurt? Most patients experience a stinging sensation as the pulses of energy are delivered through the hand piece. Following the treatment, the pain is minimal to nonexistent. Some redness or bruising may occur. What are the side effects? · Slight reddening · Local swelling · Bruising · Blistering (rare) Are there restriction following treatment? Patients generally resume normal activities immediately. However, it is recommended that you avoid vigorous activities for the first 24 hours after treatment. The use of sunscreen is recommended on any treated areas exposed to the sun. When will you see results? Within two to six weeks of treatment, patients generally find that the majority of the treated veins have shown significant treatment. However, the final results may be apparent for several months. Over time, it is possible for new veins to appear, but these too can be removed with the Cutera CoolGlide. |
