Nearly 75 percent of all skin cancer deaths are from melanoma. Advanced melanoma spreads to internal organs and may result in death. One American dies from melanoma almost every hour.

Although I must admit that I was a little nervous, the procedure itself only took an hour and I only experienced minimal discomfort during the first few days.

An alarming and adverse national trend has caused millions of consumers to turn to unqualified providers triggering the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS) to educate consumers.

Laser Vein Removal

About 40% of the general population, suffer from some form of vein disorder. Occurring in any age group, predominantly in woman but also affecting men. Although these veins are not unhealthy, they are unsightly and can occur anywhere from the legs, thighs, ankles and the face.

Today, getting rid of these unwanted veins is easier than ever. With the most advanced technology, a unique design, and a longer wavelength, the CoolGlide® laser system can safely and effectively treats both tiny superficial face veins and deeper blue leg veins on men and women of all skin tones.

The CoolGlide® system can remove unsightly veins from all parts of the body. Small, facial veins (or ?telangiectasia?) can be treated quickly without bruising or complication. Spider veins and large blue leg veins can also be treated with excellent results. Knotty varicose veins are not good candidates. A careful evaluation with your physician will help you determine which vessels can be treated and the best course of treatment

How Does it Work?
The Cool Glide system deliver pulses of light energy, which cause the blood within the vein to coagulate, eventually destroying the vessel, which is later, reabsorbed by your body. Blood flow will then be redirected to veins deeper below your skin?s surface, where it should be.

Most patients experience a stinging sensation as the pulses of energy are delivered through the hand piece. Although no local anesthesia or pain medication is typically required, many patients opt to use a topical anesthetic prior to treatment. Following the treatment, the pain is minimal to nonexistent.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Often, patients find that one or two treatments are sufficient. However, the number of treatments necessary depends on the number, color, and size of the vessels being treated. Since individual results vary according to the condition.

Most patients find that the majority of the treated veins have shown significant improvement within two to six weeks of treatment. However, your final results may not be apparent for several months. Over time, it is possible for new veins to appear, but these too can be removed with the CoolGlide® laser system.

What Happens After my Treatment?
Following your treatment, some redness or bruising may occur. When larger veins are treated, a tan or brownish pigment may persist for a few weeks or months following treatment. Patients who have leg vein treatments may be advised to wear support hose for a short period of time.

Patients generally resume most normal activities immediately. However, it is recommended that you avoid vigorous activities such as strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours after treatment. The use of sunscreen is recommended on any treated areas exposed to the sun. As always, it is a good idea to limit your sun exposure.

Are There Any Side Effects?
Although many patients report few if any side effects, those most commonly noticed are slight reddening and local swelling of the skin. These effects typically last for less than 24 hours. Some patients may experience bruising and, in rare instances, blistering may occur.
