What is the Cynosure Elite IQ

Are you unhappy with the appearance of enlarged and discolored veins known as spider veins on your legs? Certain conditions and circumstances may put you at higher risk for developing varicose veins. These may include pregnancy, being overweight, or a genetic predisposition. This can lead to unsightly, visible veins that can cause self-consciousness with those living with them. Thankfully, laser vein therapy with the Cynosure Elite IQ can help!

The Cynosure Elite IQ is designed with the most advanced technology in laser vein therapy for the most effective results available today. Along with laser vein therapy, Cynosure Elite IQ also treats an array of skin concerns, including laser hair removal.

The Cynosure Elite IQ stands out from other vein therapy technologies because it was built with both the user and the patient in mind. The patented melanin reader helps to keep patient safety in mind, while the modern design and ergonomic handpieces allow for Dr. Erwin to provide the best treatment possible.

The Cynosure Elite IQ Treatment

During laser vein therapy, the targeted vein will be closed off by being zapped by bursts of high-intensity light. No incisions are used, so there is no risk of scarring. Usually, more than one laser treatment session is needed to see optimal results, and are scheduled every 6-12 weeks, or as recommended by your doctor.

Gradual results can often be seen over time, and multiple treatments are often needed for the best outcomes. Slight swelling or redness may occur temporarily. There is no downtime required after laser vein therapy, and patients can return to their normal daily routines as soon as they feel comfortable. Compression stockings may need to be worn for about a week following treatment. You may need a follow-up appointment, during which Dr. Erwin may use an ultrasound to make sure that the treated vein is completely closed.
