The Vein Center & CosMed is proud to be the first medical office to bring the latest FDA approved vein removal technique to the St. Louis metro area. Introducing the Veinwave™, the revolutionary cosmetic treatment that eliminates spider veins and fine “broken” veins especially on the face. Dr. Mark Blumenthal has found this non laser modality to be extraordinary for the treatment of cosmetic vein conditions. However, he notes that this option is not meant to replace traditional sclerotherapy for the treatment of more serious varicose vein problems.
Veinwave™ is a medical device that performs a minimally invasive treatment that produces a tiny amount of heat that eradicates spider and thread veins. The effect of the treatment is instantaneous, painless and permanent. You will literally see the veins disappear as the Veinwave is used. Depending on the severity of the patient’s condition, more than one session may be necessary.
Most patients have no visible signs on the skin (other than the lack of veins) while those with more sensitive skin may have slight blushing that should disappear within a few hours. Immediately after the treatment you can resume everyday activities, but we recommend avoiding the sun for a couple of days.
