Veinwave™: A Revolutionary Non-Invasive Treatment for Spider Veins

What is Veinwave™?

Veinwave™ is a non-invasive vein procedure used to treat spider veins and small, superficial varicose veins. It utilizes a specialized device to deliver controlled, high-frequency radio waves directly into the affected veins.
‍
This is considered safe and effective for treating spider and small varicose veins, especially in delicate areas such as the face and ankles.
‍
During Veinwave™ treatment, a fine needle-like electrode is inserted into the targeted spider veins. The radiofrequency energy is then applied through the electrode, causing the vein walls to collapse and seal shut. -- a process known as thermocoagulation. Once a spider vein has been successfully treated, it cannot return. However, it is possible to develop more spider veins over time, which may require future treatment to address your vein condition.
‍
This treatment may not be suitable for larger or more complex varicose veins. A thorough evaluation of your unique venous condition is necessary to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your health and wellness goals.

Does Veinwave™ Hurt?

In most cases, no, Veinwave™ doesn’t hurt.
‍
The tiny probe used for the treatment is small, touching only 0.002 to 0.003 inches, and is micro-insulated to protect the surrounding tissue.
‍
Some patients report mild discomfort, but it is tolerable – especially compared to electrolysis, laser, or intense pulsed light treatments.
‍
Using any anesthetic needed for the Veinwave™ procedures is not necessary during treatment. Anesthetics are not advised because they can cause undesired vasodilation (widening of the vessels).
‍
In rare cases, a topical anesthetic may be applied to more sensitive areas, such as around the nose.

What Should I Expect After a Veinwave™ Procedure?

One of the main advantages of Veinwave™ is its minimal discomfort and quick recovery time.
‍
Veinwave™ treatment is generally well-tolerated, and patients can resume their normal activities immediately following their procedure. The effect of the treatment is instant in that the veins begin to disappear immediately.
‍
Some patients leave treatment without any visible sign on the skin other than the lack of veins, and some with more sensitive skin may suffer minor reddening, which should disappear within a few hours to a few days.
‍
While you may resume normal activities, avoid the sun for a couple of days or use sunblock.
‍
A few days after treatment, tiny micro-crust-like marks may appear where this treatment has been applied. This is normal, and no special care is needed. These will disappear on their own.
‍
Wearing any compression garments is unnecessary as Veinwave™ does not cause enough injury to require a bandage.
‍
It is best to refrain from re-treating an area for six weeks. At that time, your practitioner is best able to see if any small veins remain.
‍
Once a spider vein has been successfully treated, it cannot return. It is possible to develop more spider veins over time that may require future treatment.
