Advanced Laser Treatment For Spider Veins

Summer is almost here, and many of us are worrying about those annoying spider veins that appear on our legs, as well as broken vessels on our face. We don't want to hide our legs, and women don't want to wear makeup to the pool or beach. You may be wondering if there is an effective treatment for these conditions, and whether the procedure would work for you. The Cutera Excel V laser provides excellent results in treatment of spider veins, as well as a number of other vascular conditions.

Spider veins are small vessels under the skin that appear on the legs, face, neck, or chest in blue, red, purple, or green tones. In the legs, they are caused by malfunctioning valves within the blood vessels, which results in increased pressure to the delicate vessel walls. At a certain point, the walls rupture, and the broken vessels appear. In larger vessels, the weakened walls may stretch and appear as varicose veins. There are a number of factors that predispose a person to develop broken vessels, including heredity, lifestyle, and hormonal changes.

Spider veins can be treated with either sclerotherapy or a laser procedure; however, laser treatment is particularly effective for smaller vessels because it allows for greater accuracy than a sclerotherapy injection with a needle.

The Excel V laser incorporates advanced technology for optimal treatment of spider veins. The system uses a green laser that targets the hemoglobin in the ruptured vessels. As the laser light is absorbed, the vessels are heated and eliminated. The laser also has a sapphire cooling window, which allows the patient to feel more comfortable during the procedure. There is usually no downtime following an Excel V treatment, and no compression stockings are required.

In addition to its use in treating spider veins, the Excel V is highly effective in the treatment of rosacea, cherry angiomas, age spots, telangiectasia, and a number of other skin conditions.

We all deserve to be happy with how our bodies look, and spider veins can be effectively treated. If you are unhappy with the appearance of broken vessels on your legs, face, or upper body, ask about the Excel V laser. When used by an experienced medical professional, patient satisfaction rates are very high.
