CoolGlide Vein Therapy for the Body

The Cutera CoolGlide combines the ideal laser wavelength with the most flexible parameters to deliver a superior vascular laser system. It treats tiny spider veins quickly, safely, and effectively.

The Cutera CoolGlide system delivers pulse of light energy which cause the blood within the vein to coagulate, eventually destroying the vessel which is later reabsorbed by your body. Blood flow will then be redirected to veins deeper below your skin’s surface, where it should be.

The Cutera CoolGlide can remove unsightly veins from all parts of the body. Small, facial veins or telangiectasia can be treated quickly without bruising or complication. Spider veins can also be treated with excellent results. Knotty varicose veins are not good candidates.

The number of treatments necessary depend on the number, colour and size of vessels being treated. Most patients experience a stinging sensation as the pulses of energy are delivered through the handpiece.

Following the treatment, some redness or bruising may occur. When larger veins are treated, a tan or brownish pigment may persist for a few weeks or months following treatment.

Most common side effects commonly noticed are slight reddening and local swelling of the skin. These effects typically last for less than 24 hours. Some patients may experience bruising and in rare instances, blistering may occur.

It is recommended that you avoid vigorous activities such as strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours after treatment. The use of sunscreen is recommended on any treated areas exposed to the sun.

Most patients find that the majority of the treated veins have shown significant improvement within two to six weeks of treatment. However, your final results may not be apparent for several months. Over time, it is possible for new veins to appear, but these too can be removed with the Cutera CoolGlide.
