Introducing Radiosurgery
Introducing
the newest technology that quickly and easily frees you from unsightly
facial veins.
Now you can remove those small, unsightly purple and red "spider veins" that appear on your face or other parts of your body - quickly and comfortably with minimal discomfort or recovery time. It's called radiosurgery.
Radiosurgery uses high-frequency energy to provide microscopic, incredibly precise results. The extremely fine, predictable punctures made by radiosurgery mean minimal or no scarring, quicker healing, and immediate improvement in your appearance. Best of all, radiosurgery can be performed in your doctor's office.
How does radiosurgery work?
Radiosurgery is the passage of ultra-high-frequency radio waves into the skin to eliminate facial veins. The term "radio" surgery is used because the frequency is higher than AM radios, but lower than the frequency of television.
Radiosurgery makes very fine, precise, gentle punctures. A thin micro-insulated wire is gently inserted into the unwanted vein. Only the tissue cells immediately adjacent to the electrode are affected.
How does radiosurgery differ from other procedures for removing facial veins?
Lasers and cautery are less delicate than radiosurgery and can cause excessive tissue burns. This causes slower healing, with more redness and inflammation.
Do I have to go to the hospital for radiosurgery?
The procedure only takes a few minutes and is done in the office. Usually there is no need for topical anesthetic. You'll only feel a little tingly sensation. Bleeding is minimal.
As a patient, what does radiosurgery mean to me? What are the benefits?
Radiosurgery means excellent and consistent results with minimal to no bruising, swelling, scarring or other complications. Plus, radiosurgery is gentle, effective and you'll have minimal recovery time.
What do I need to do after I have had radiosurgery?
Just wash the area a couple of times per day and apply a soothing gel or lotion with aloe. Make-up can be applied after 24 hours.
How many treatments will I need?
It depends on the number of veins present. Occasionally, a brief second visit may be needed.
