Techno-Derm Launches Veinwave: A New, FDA Listed Medical Device for Eliminating Thread Veins
February 22nd, 2009Miami, FL – Millions of men and women suffer from thread veins, manifest by unsightly little clusters of red, blue or purplish veins that spiderweb the cheeks, thighs, calves, ankles and knees. In fact, for Western populations like the US, it’s been estimated[1] that 25-30% of women and 10-20% of men suffer from this unsightly condition. But now there’s a thread of hope. Adding to its full suite of medical technologies, Techno-Derm, LLC, announced its exclusive distribution of Veinwave, a new, FDA listed device for eliminating thread veins, telangiectasia, psoriasis and rosacea.
Designed primarily for vascular surgeons and dematologists, Veinwave uses a revolutionary process called ‘thermo-coagulation.’ As tiny, extremely high frequency microwaves are applied to the affected skin, the inflamed thread vessels are heated. When this happens, veins do a disappearing act.
Until now, micro-sclerotherapy and lasers have been the most popular procedures for removing these veins. Unlike lasers, the Veinwave procedure isn’t painful, doesn’t carry a risk of long-term scarring and is over in 15 minutes. How is this possible? Veinwave’s ultra-fine, insulated needle makes for a highly targeted treatment that doesn’t irritate the surrounding skin tissue. That means there’s no bandages or recovery time. Within 15 minutes after a Veinwave session, patients can resume their everyday activities as if it never happened. As for micro-sclerotherapy, it works pretty well on the larger varicose leg veins, but it’s not too effective on the fine, thin veins of delicate facial, knee and ankle areas. But when paired with Veinwave, micro-sclerotherapy works perfectly.
