Varicose veins are typically larger and are not suitable for Vasculaze.

The most common areas for Vasculaze treatment include: face, décolleté, arms, upper thighs, back of thighs, and the lower legs.

HOW COMMON ARE VASCULAR LESIONS?

Vascular lesions are present in 10-15% of adults and are more common in females. They can be prevalent in a contained body area, spread out over multiple body areas, or show up as a singular line or cluster. The use of Vasculaze can help treat existing lesions and prevent them from becoming more widespread.

HOW DO I PREPARE BEFORE THE TREATMENT?

• Avoid any tanning, sun exposure, or self tanners in the area to be treated 3-4 weeks before treatment.
• Avoid any topical irritant treatments or products 2-3 days before the procedure.
• Avoid anticoagulants (aspirin, nonsteroidals, herbal or pharmaceutical blood thinners) 7-10 days before treatment, if medically permitted. Skin should be clean and free of hair.

WHAT IS THE RECOVERY?

Vasculaze is a relatively quick procedure with most treatment sessions lasting 10-15 minutes. After each treatment session, avoid heavy activities that encourage increased blood flow and use sunscreen on the treated areas.
