The technicians at SkinStar Laser Med Spa set their sights on unwanted veins on the face and body before blasting them away with Cutera’s noninvasive CoolGlide laser. During each 30- to 45-minute session, a specialist traces over troublesome vessels with the laser’s hand piece, sending waves of light energy directly into the blood itself. Once zapped, the blood coagulates and causes spider and varicose veins to fade into the body’s internal chorus line. Common treatment areas include the lower legs, ankles, nose, or cheeks and, though every patient is different, it may more than one session to see optimal results. Any post-procedure redness should clear in a day or two, and veins should fade within six weeks of receiving their walking papers.
