We have the Cutera CoolGlide Laser System and in addition to that we have the Cutera LimeLight Intense Pulsed Light, both of those are useful for treating unwanted veins on any part of the body and sometimes we combine both technologies. For example, when we are treating the face of somebody who has got rosacea, people will come to us with everything ranging from one small blood vessel on the nose that bothers them or through the whole face or legs covered with blood vessels. The way lasers work is that laser energy is absorbed by the pigment in the blood vessel. The blood heats up and then heat from the blood is what kills off the lining of the vessel. Treating vessels on the face is relatively quick and easy. Often one or two treatments are enough to make a huge improvement on somebody's face. On the body, cherry hemangiomas usually will resolve after one treatment. Leg veins are more of a challenge. People having treatment for leg veins should plan usually on having about three treatments, a month or two apart. Treatments usually are done during the winter and then the patient's legs are greatly improved in time for the next summer.
