How does CoolGlide Vein Therapy work?
The Cutera CoolGlide systems 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 with then be redirected to veins deeper below you skin's surface, where it should be.

How many treatments will I need?

Do the treatments hurt?

When will I see results?
