The CoolGlide Laser has turned out to be very useful for treating leg veins. The best leg veins to treat are ones between about a millimeter in diameter and perhaps 2 or 3 mm in diameter and right on the surface of the skin. So, as a good rule of thumb, the uglier the veins are, the better they do, and the reason for that is that ugly veins are dark enough and big enough that they will have lots of blood in them and so the blood will absorb lots of energy from the laser. It will heat up and heat from the blood is what kills of the lining of the veins and then the body either repairs the veins or gets rid of the veins. Most patients should plan on having about three treatments. Each treatment would be a month or two apart. Treatments are usually done during the fall and winter and that way the patient's legs are cleared up by the time summer rolls around.
