New Treatment Option for Spider Veins
A new machine that’s the size of a suitcase erases spider veins during quick outpatient appointments. The CVI has become the first medical group in Boston to offer Veinwave™ technology since its approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Thermo-coagulation technique is effective for eliminating red vascular blemishes and thread-like veins from the legs, arms, face and other parts of the body.
- Performed in the doctor’s office
- Instant results, no recovery time
- Less pain
- No bruising, scarring or side effects
New Treatment Option for Varicose Veins
Varicose veins may be more than a cosmetic issue. They can cause significant pain, numbness and swelling. Fortunately, there’s a new, non-surgical treatment option:
