I Had Veinwave Treatment 3 Months Ago for Thread Veins. Why Has It Made the Viens Worse?

My partner and i both agree the veins are now more promenant and i have more restriction on the skirts and dresses i can wear. Why has it done this when the promotion for this treatment says it is risk free. It was also quite painful treatment as the probe was quite hot. I have read that other people have had their veins made worse by this treatment.

Veinwave Treatment

Thank you for your question. I would have the vein flow assessed, and determine if the vein is closed or in need of more treatments.

I hope this helps.

Spider Vein Treatment

We use the vein wave frequently, and have found that sclerotherapy is more effective for the legs. Vein Wave does very well on the face. It is important to have an ultrasound to see if there is venous reflux which would mean that spider vein treatments will remain ineffective until the reflux is treated.

Thank you for the comments from the Doctors. My veins were definately worse. My partner and a friend agreed. I advice people to stay well clear of veinwave. I spent £1000 getting the work corrected by Yag laser treatment which worked. This treatment also got ride of veins to my chest and nose. At the treatment centre, where they did the lazer, they said i was the third women to recently go to them asking for help after the veinwave made my legs much worse.
