Veinwave: Safe, Effective Spider Veins Treatment with Minimal Recovery

Spider veins may be a troubling condition for individuals in Cody, Wyoming and around the country. They may not cause pain or heaviness like varicose veins, but the unsightly appearance of spider veins and telangiectasia—which are tangled, thread-like veins—may cause embarrassment and self-consciousness for many individuals. Patients interested in receiving treatment with Veinwave should seek consultation with a medical professional in the Cody area to help determine if Veinwave is right for them.

Those who are in good overall health and who are suffering from spider veins or telangiectasia may be considered candidates for this treatment. This procedure may be used to treat veins that are in several areas of the body including the legs, arms, ankles, face and knees. Before receiving treatment, patients should seek consultation with a vein specialist to determine whether it is safe to treat their spider veins in the particular area of the body. Those not considered a candidate may include individuals who are epileptic, those with bleeding disorders, those with pacemakers and women who are pregnant.

The procedure is performed by using a very fine, insulated needle to administer treatment subepidermally. The vessel itself, however, is not pierced. Thermocoagulation heats and closes the vessels instantly and the treatment takes about 15 minutes to perform and does not require bandages after treatment. Most patients who receive treatment with Veinwave feel virtually no pain, although some may report a feeling like a tiny pin-prick.

Recovering from Veinwave typically does not involve downtime. Those treated are usually able to return to their normal activities or work immediately following the procedure. Results are evident immediately following treatment as the tiny veins close and begin to disappear. Over the next few days after treatment, the results should continue to improve. The treatment is permanent, as once the veins are successfully treated with Veinwave, they will no longer appear.

With Veinwave, there is a small chance of scarring, but the risk is minimal and less than that associated with many other vein procedures. Most patients are satisfied with their results after just one treatment, although others may require one or two additional sessions to reach desired results. Those interested in receiving treatment with Veinwave should seek consultation with a vein specialist in the Cody area who is familiar with the procedure and therefore able to provide further information about the procedure and help patients decide if the treatment is right for them.
