Dr. Kuefner is pleased to announce his acquisition of Veinwave, a revolutionary FDA approved technology used to eradicate spider veins (telangiectasia). It was developed by vascular surgeons in England specifically for the treatment of spider veins in the legs. Veinwave utilizes an ultra-fine insulated needle to accurately focus a small and controlled amount of high frequency microwave energy precisely directed at the tiny blood vessels while minimizing collateral injury to the skin. This technology minimizes risks of scarring and pigmentation changes. Most results are immediate, however, as with any procedure a healing period is involved . Veinwave is tolerated well by patients and no bandaging is required. In June 2009, Veinwave was approved by the FDA for treating telangiectasia on thousands of patients in England where it was initially developed and has been in use for over eight years. Facial telangiectasia is a frequent finding in patients with rosacea.
