Veinwave™

When veins are too small for treatment by sclerotherapy injections, another treatment called Veinwave™ therapy may be used. This treatment has proven effective in treating tiny thread veins, telangiectasia and rosacea, which may not be treatable with other vein treatments.

Popular in the United Kingdom and now available in the United States, Veinwave™ is an effective solution for men and women, who have cosmetically unsightly veins. The process works very well in delicate areas such as the face and ankles.

The Laser Institute of Wisconsin has extensive experience in Veinwave. Our skilled laser technicians are helping women and men from places such as Green Bay, Appleton, Fond du Lac, and Sheboygan perfect their personal Renaissance. Contact the Laser Institute of Wisconsin at (920) 233-1540 to request your free laser consultation.

How Veinwave™ Works

Veinwave treatments are performed on an outpatient basis at our IAC accredited vascular facility. In performing Veinwave therapy, a fine needle is used through which extremely high frequency microwave energy is passed to the vessels being treated. In a process called thermo-coagulation, the vessels then heat and shrink. The skin surrounding these blood vessels is not damaged during this procedure. Following treatment the treated blood vessels will begin to gradually disappear. This may take a few weeks, although some patients have received almost instant results. In some cases, repeat treatment may be required to fully remove some thread vessels that may remain following the initial treatment. Although minimal discomfort may be experienced, the face is more sensitive than the body.

Benefits of Veinwave™

There are no bandages required following treatment with Veinwave therapy. Patients may go right from the procedure back to work or may resume other normal daily activities following treatment, as no recovery period or downtime is required. No scarring, hypopigmentation or hyperpigmentation problems are associated with this treatment. One possible side effect of this treatment is a slight crusting over the treatment area in the days following treatment. This usually resolves itself after a few days.

Unlike laser treatment, this treatment does not require that patients stay out of the sun. Patients are also able to wear makeup following treatment. Various parts of the body may be treated using this procedure including the legs, ankles and most parts of the body that have thread veins or spider veins.

Pricing

Veinwave is priced at $200 for each 30 minute session.  If additional time is needed, it costs $200 for each additional 30 minutes. Patients can get as much or as little treatment as desired. Because it can be a time consuming procedure depending on the severity, it is best to schedule a complimentary consultation with an aesthetician to get a custom quote.
