The VeinWave™ treatment is a gentle and effective, FDA-approved treatment for the tiny red, blue, or purple veins on the face and nose. This procedure involves minimal discomfort and no recovery time. VeinWave™ uses thermocoagulation technology to close up these veins and to allow them to disappear. An ultra-thin, insulated needle is inserted into each of the veins and emits radio frequency energy which sends heat into the wall of the vein. This heat causes each vein to close up and then it gets absorbed by the body.
Typical VeinWave™ treatments last around 20 minutes and are performed in Dr. Cutchen’s office. Most patients require one or two treatments but, the number of treatments will be determined during your consultation based on your own individual needs. Because the treatment times are so short, patients find it extremely easy to schedule them into even the busiest of lifestyles.
