Coolglide® Veins Face & Body

The CoolGlide system delivers pulses of non-invasive light 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 own immune system then breaks down and absorbs the vein leaving little or no trace of the original lesion.

You’re in experienced hands – Our laser operators have been safely carrying out this procedure since 2009.

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 carried out during your consultation for additional safety.

As we age our veins are not as efficient at returning blood back 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 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.
