Broken Blood Capillaries Removal
In Northern VirginiaVeinGogh
VeinGogh is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat small spider veins and broken capillaries, particularly those located on the face and other delicate areas. Utilizing a technology known as Ohmic Thermolysis, VeinGogh delivers controlled microbursts of high-frequency energy to coagulate and collapse the targeted veins without affecting the surrounding skin.
VEINGOGH OVERVIEW
Duration: Typically ranges from 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the number and size of veins being treated.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort, often described as a slight pinch or warmth. Topical anesthetic creams are sometimes applied to enhance comfort.
Downtime: There is usually no downtime. Patients can resume normal activities immediately, though it’s advisable to avoid strenuous exercise and sun exposure for a short period post-treatment.
HOW VEINGOGH WORKS?
During the procedure, a fine, hair-thin probe is gently placed against the skin over the affected vein. The device emits precise bursts of energy, causing the vein to heat up, coagulate, and eventually collapse. Over time, the body naturally absorbs the treated vein, leading to a reduction in its appearance.
