CoolGlide Excel Laser
With the newest, state-of-the-art lasers, our center can eliminate unwanted large and bulging blue veins around the eyes and face without any down time.
Surgery
The five to ten-minute treatment requires a clear gel be applied to the skin, followed by the pulsing of the bright laser light. The CoolGlide Excel laser gently coagulates and removes blood vessels below the skin surface without the bruising associated with other laser treatments. Factors such as the type of vascular lesion, the color, the age, and the location on the skin determine whether lesions can be removed.
Most skin types including tanned skin.
Complete and instant elimination of the bulging blue veins usually after just one treatment.
This treatment has a very strong track record for safety and precision. Side effects are rare and generally temporary. The specific risks and the suitability of these procedures for a given individual can be determined only at the time of consultation. All surgical procedures have some degree of risk. Minor complications that do not affect the outcome occur occasionally.
