The Cutera Treatment
The Cutera laser distributes light energy pulses which cause the blood within the vein to coagulate, destroying the vessel which is absorbed by the body. Blood flow will be redirected to healthy veins. Most patients report feeling a slight stinging sensation as the pulses of energy are delivered into the vein. However, no local anesthesia or pain medication is usually required before treatment.
Usually, a series of treatments is needed to see the best results. The exact number of treatments will depend on the number, size, and color of the vessels being treated. Dr. Erwin can speak with you to determine the number of treatments that are best to achieve your desired aesthetic results.
