Now men and women alike are making unsightly facial and leg veins a thing of the
past, thanks to CoolGlide laser systems. No more painful injections! With the most
advanced technology, a unique design, and a longer wavelength, CoolGlide laser
systems can safely and effectively treat tiny superficial face and leg veins on men and
women of all skin tones.

The Precision difference.
CoolGlide aesthetic systems combine the ideal laser wavelength with the most flexible
parameters to deliver a superior vascular laser system. At Precision we treat tiny spider
veins and all other superficial veins quickly, safely, and effectively. Patients with dark,
light or tanned skin can experience outstanding results with minimal bruising or
blistering.

How does our Vein Therapy work?
We concentrate pulses of light energy which cause the blood within the vein to
coagulate, eventually destroying the vessel which is later reabsorbed by your body.
Blood flow will then be redirected to veins deeper below your skin's surface, where it
should be.

Who can be treated?
CoolGlide laser systems feature a unique design and long wavelength that allow them
to treat patients of all skin tones. After your consultation, we will advise you if CoolGlide
Vein Therapy is right for you.

What types of veins can be treated?
We can remove unsightly veins from all parts of the body. Small, facial veins (or
telangiectasia") can be treated quickly without bruising or complication. Spider veins
can also be treated with excellent results. Knotty varicose veins are not good
candidates. A careful evaluation is needed to determine which vessels can be treated
and the best course of treatment.

How does this compare to Sclerotherapy?
We can advise you on the best course of action, but in many cases CoolGlide Vein
Therapy is the preferred choice since there are no painful injections.

What about blood blisters and port wine stains?
Blood blisters or "hemangiomas" respond very well to CoolGlide Vein Therapy, usually
with just one treatment. Patients with port wine stains and other vascular lesions who
had given up on finding a solution have been overwhelmed by the success of their
CoolGlide vascular treatments.

How many treatments do I need?
Often, patients find that one or two treatments are sufficient. However, the number of
treatments necessary depends on the number, color, and size of the vessels being
treated. Since individual results vary, a consultation is required for examination.

Do the treatments hurt?
Most patients experience a stinging sensation as the pulses of energy are delivered
through the handpiece. Although no local anesthesia or pain medication is typically
required, many patients opt to use a topical anesthetic prior to treatment. Following the
treatment, the pain is minimal to nonexistent.

What happens after the treatment?
Following your treatment, some redness or bruising may occur.

What are the possible side effects?
Although many patients report few if any side effects, those most commonly noticed are
slight reddening and local swelling of the skin. These effects typically last for 24 hours.
Some patients may experience bruising and, in rare instances, blistering may occur.
We can advise you of the benefits and risks of the treatment .

Are there any restrictions on my activity after treatment?
Patients generally resume most normal activities immediately. However, it is
recommended that you avoid vigorous activities such as strenuous exercise for the first
48 hours after the treatment. The use of sunscreen is recommended on any treated
ares exposed to the sun. As always, it is a good idea to limit your sun exposure.

When will I see results? Most patients find that the majority of the treated veins have
shown significant improvement within two to six weeks of treatment. However, your
final results may not be apparent for several months. Over time, it is possible for new
veins to appear, but these too can be removed with the CoolGlide laser system.
