What is Cutera Laser Vein Therapy and How Does it Work?
Cutera laser vein therapy is a leading-edge, non-invasive treatment designed to safely eliminate unsightly veins on the face and body. It utilizes advanced laser technology to deliver pulses of light energy directly into the targeted blood vessels. The blood within the vein absorbs this light energy, which converts to heat. This heat causes the vein wall to collapse and seal shut.
What Types of Veins Can Be Treated?
One of the major benefits of the Cutera system is its versatility. It is capable of treating a broad range of vascular conditions on men and women of all skin tones. Most commonly, patients seek this treatment for spider veins (telangiectasia) on the legs, which are small, dilated blood vessels that often appear red, blue, or purple.
However, the treatment is equally effective for facial veins, often found around the nose and cheeks, as well as cherry angiomas (small red dots) and reticular veins (larger blue feeder veins). Whether you are dealing with the aftermath of sun damage, hormonal changes, or simply genetics, Dr. Stewart can customize the laser settings to address your specific vein type and depth. Her expertise ensures that even delicate areas like the face are treated with the utmost care and precision.
How Does This Compare to Sclerotherapy?
Patients often ask about the difference between laser therapy and sclerotherapy, which involves injecting a solution directly into the vein. While sclerotherapy is often the gold standard for larger leg veins, Cutera laser vein treatment offers a distinct advantage for smaller, more superficial veins, particularly on the face, where injections might be difficult or undesirable.
The laser approach is also an excellent option for patients who have a fear of needles or who may not be candidates for sclerotherapy solutions. In many comprehensive treatment plans, Dr. Stewart may recommend a combination of both methods to achieve total clearance. Her ability to assess your unique vascular structure allows her to recommend the path that will yield the smoothest, most long-lasting results for your legs and face.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Procedure Painful and Is It Safe?
Safety and comfort are top priorities at ASD of Cherry Creek. The Cutera laser system is engineered with integrated cooling features that protect the skin and minimize discomfort during the procedure. Most patients describe the sensation of the laser pulse as a quick stinging feeling, similar to the snap of a rubber band against the skin. No local anesthesia or pain medication is typically required.
Furthermore, Dr. Stewart’s involvement ensures the highest safety standards. As a board-certified dermatologist who teaches the latest techniques to other doctors, she understands exactly how to navigate vascular treatments to avoid complications. We also utilize advanced tools like the Accuvein infrared vein finder when necessary, which illuminates vessels beneath the skin. This allows Dr. Stewart to identify feeder veins that aren't visible to the naked eye, ensuring a thorough and safe treatment that avoids healthy tissue.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
The number of treatments required varies depending on the number, color, and size of the vessels being treated. For some patients with minor facial capillaries, significant improvement can be seen after just one or two sessions. For more extensive networks of spider veins on the legs, a series of treatments may be necessary to achieve optimal clearance.
During your consultation, Dr. Stewart will evaluate your condition and provide a realistic estimate of how many Cutera laser vein therapy sessions you will need. Treatments are typically spaced several weeks apart to allow the body time to process and eliminate the treated vessels. We believe in transparency and will outline a personalized plan that fits your lifestyle and aesthetic goals.
What is the Recovery Time Like?
One of the reasons Cutera laser vein removal is so popular among our active clients is the minimal downtime involved. Unlike surgical vein stripping, this procedure allows you to walk out of the office and resume most daily activities immediately. You may experience some slight redness or bruising in the treated area, which typically resolves within a few days to a week.
If leg veins are treated, Dr. Stewart may recommend wearing compression stockings for a short period to support healing and ensure the veins remain closed. Sun avoidance is also crucial following treatment to prevent pigmentation changes. Because Dr. Stewart provides comprehensive aftercare instructions, you can feel confident that your recovery will be smooth and your results will be beautiful.
