How Can I Remove Unwanted Visible Leg Veins?
Visible leg veins are one of life’s greatest aesthetic annoyances. They occur more as we age, but many people don’t want visible leg veins. The good news is you can treat red, purple, and blue thread veins with our clinically proven CUTERA CoolGlide laser.
The CUTERA CoolGlide laser is a light-based, state-of-the-art, aesthetic technology that enables us to reduce and remove the appearance of unwanted visible leg veins and achieve great results for our clients. Even better, this technology allows us to do this for an incredibly reasonable price compared to visiting a doctor or surgeon.
This article will give you all the information you need to know about CoolGlide laser technology, and how it will help your legs look better, and keep you feeling confident in your skin.
How Does CoolGlide Laser Vein Treatment Work?
The CUTERA CoolGlide laser uses non-invasive laser energy to heat the blood vessels and coagulate the blood in the unwanted vein. Your body then sees the targeted vein as a foreign “object” and your immune system then breaks down and absorbs the vein, leaving little or no trace of the original lesion.
The treatment takes between 4-12 weeks to show the best results. This depends based on the size of the vein, however, you should see gradual improvements during this time. Immediately after the treatment, the vein will either disappear or gradually darken until it is reabsorbed.
We recommend 2-3 treatment cycles for optimum results.
Please note: We do not treat varicose veins or any veins that protrude from the skin. For these, we recommend consulting your doctor or a specialist.
Why Have My Leg Veins Become So Visible?
As we age our veins are not as efficient at returning blood to the lungs. The blood then ‘sits’ in the vein causing it to enlarge and become a permanently visible thread vein! In the case of varicose veins, the blood sitting in the vein builds up to such an extent that it will bulge and protrude above the surface of the skin.
If you have fair skin your veins will be much more visible because the skin is more translucent. Also as our skin ages, it becomes thinner so our veins show more easily. Also if you are slim & carry less body fat, your veins will be closer to the surface of your skin and therefore become more visible.
With leg vein treatment, you can reduce or remove the visible veins from your legs, which will keep them looking great well into your old age.
Can You Stop Your Visible Veins from Getting Worse?
Yes, you can stop your visible veins from getting worse. Some of the best ways to do this include:
- Reduce sitting or standing for long periods.
- Regular exercise will improve your circulation and encourage blood flow back to the lungs. Increasing your activity with even a simple daily walk will help reduce veins.
- Elevate your legs throughout the day whenever possible, as this reduces the pressure inside your veins, encouraging blood flow back to your lungs.
- Maintain a healthy weight: Extra weight places an additional strain on your venous system causing problems such as varicose veins.
Is CoolGlide Laser Treatment Safe?
Yes, we’ve already safely carried out over 800 CoolGlide vein procedures. Our laser specialists are fully trained and experienced in these procedures.
A Patch Test is also carried out during your consultation for additional safety.
