What is Cutera?

Are you bothered with the appearance of visible, purple, blue, or red veins in your legs? If so, laser vein therapy with the Cutera laser is for you! The Cutera Laser is a cutting-edge piece of technology that combines the ideal wavelength with the most flexible parameters to produce a superior vascular laser system. It targets a variety of blood vessels, including those on the face, and can be used to treat different vein conditions. Plus, patients with both darker or lighter skin types, including both men and women, can benefit from this treatment.

How Cutera Laser Works

The Cutera laser utilizes advanced technology to deliver controlled energy directly to the skin’s surface, precisely targeting a variety of skin concerns. This laser treatment is designed to address issues such as acne scars, facial veins, excessive redness, brown spots, and sun spots.

By using intense pulsed light, the Cutera system seeks out areas of redness, discoloration, and pigmentation, breaking them down and stimulating the skin’s natural healing process. One of the key benefits of this approach is the stimulation of new collagen production, which helps to improve the skin’s texture, reduce the appearance of scars, and restore a more youthful look.

As a multi-application platform, the Cutera laser can effectively treat conditions like rosacea and diffuse redness, making it a versatile solution for patients seeking to enhance their skin’s appearance and address multiple concerns in a single treatment.

Benefits of Cutera Laser

Cutera laser treatment offers a range of benefits for those looking to improve the appearance and health of their skin. Patients can expect noticeable improvements in skin tone and texture, with reduced redness, diminished scars, and a more even complexion. The treatment is especially effective for targeting facial veins, acne scars, brown spots, and sun spots, helping to restore a clearer and more radiant appearance. By stimulating the production of new collagen, Cutera laser treatments also support the skin’s natural rejuvenation process, leading to smoother, firmer skin over time. With minimal downtime and a high level of safety, patients can return to their daily activities quickly, enjoying the results of their treatment with little interruption. Whether you are looking to address specific concerns or simply want to enhance your skin’s overall appearance, Cutera laser provides a customizable and effective solution.

The Cutera Treatment

The Cutera laser treatment is performed in-office and is minimally invasive. The device 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, and multiple sessions may be required for optimal 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.

In some cases, a combination of treatments may be recommended to further enhance your results.

Patients will receive all necessary information about the procedure, including what to expect and how to use aftercare products.
