VeinGogh is considered a low-pain procedure, so topical anesthesia usually isn’t offered—but some patients have reported discomfort. Talk with your provider if you have concerns.
They’ll start by inserting a hair-thin probe into the vein through a tiny incision. The probe emits high-frequency “microbursts” of electric current, which heat the vein and coagulate the blood. They’ll remove the probe and cover the entry site with a small bandage; sutures won’t be needed. This technique eliminates damaged veins, with minimal injury to the surrounding skin.Â
VeinGogh spider vein treatment can be relatively quick. For veins in small areas of the face, such as the nose, the procedure can take as little as five minutes, whereas larger or multiple treatment areas, like the legs, can require up to 30 minutes.Â
You may have some redness for the next two to three hours after your treatment; otherwise, you can return to your usual activities.
