Are you caught in the web of spider veins? Or maybe you’ve been battling the flush of port wine stains. Although these vein issues aren’t medical problems, they are a cosmetic nuisance.
Enter Vasculaze by InMode™ — a noninvasive treatment that zaps away unsightly veins and stains so you’ll be comfortable baring your skin again this summer. Vasculaze is one of our specialties at Brooklyn Aesthetics in the Brighton Beach neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, and Dr. Boris Itskovich explains how it works and what you can expect.
Spider veins, medically termed telangiectasia, are small, damaged veins that can appear on the surface of your legs or face. They get their name from their web-like appearance, resembling a spider or spider web.
These veins are typically red, blue, or purple and are visible beneath your skin. While spider veins are mainly a cosmetic issue and usually aren’t harmful, they can sometimes cause discomfort, especially after standing for long periods.
Genetics, aging, hormonal changes, obesity, and prolonged standing or sitting can cause spider veins.
Port wine stains are pigmented patches of skin caused by the abnormal development of blood vessels in your skin. They usually have a reddish-purple color that resembles their namesake — port wine.
These birthmarks can appear anywhere on your body but primarily on your face, neck, arms, or legs. Unlike spider veins, port wine stains are present at birth and can vary significantly in size. While they pose no inherent health risk, they can grow larger or darker over time.
For many, port wine stains affect self-esteem and confidence, but Vasculaze provides a noninvasive way to lighten or eliminate these bothersome marks.
Vasculaze is a laser therapy that addresses vascular lesions. What sets Vasculaze apart is its precision. Using a specially designed laser, it targets the blood pigment hemoglobin, heating up and eliminating the unwanted vein without damaging the surrounding areas.
This noninvasive approach means you get efficient results with minimal discomfort and downtime — a significant leap from traditional methods like sclerotherapy or surgery, which come with longer recovery periods and higher risks of complications.
Why choose Vasculaze for your vein issues? Here’s a breakdown:
While discomfort is minimal, some describe a slight stinging akin to being snapped with a rubber band.
It varies based on the severity of your veins and the size of the area to be treated, but many see significant improvement in as few as three sessions spaced about four weeks apart.
Most are good candidates, though your consultation with Dr. Itskovich determines if Vasculaze suits you.
Living with visible leg veins, spider veins, or port wine stains can be frustrating and embarrassing, but it doesn’t have to be. Vasculaze can clear away those unwanted webs and red patches.
