What is VeinGogh
VeinGogh is a special radiofrequency procedure that treats spider veins through a very fine needle. A micro needle is inserted just underneath the skin to deliver bursts of radiorequency energy to the offending telangiectasias, which instantaneously heats up and collapses the veins.
How effective is VeinGogh?
Because VeinGogh uses highly precise radiofrequency to treat the spider veins, its effect is typically immediate. This distinguishes it from more traditional Sclerotherapy, which is a chemical process that may take a few weeks to see maximum results. With that said, both VeinGogh and sclerotherapy may take several sessions to achieve the desired results, depending on how extensive your spider veins are.

Is VeinGogh procedure painful?
Just like most of our vein procedures, a needle is utilized to deliver treatment and certain amount of discomfort can be expected. However, because the small needle size and controlled laser delivery, VeinGogh is very well tolerated by patients.
Does VeinGogh require anesthesia?
No anesthesia is used during VeinGogh procedure.
What is the recovery process like after VeinGogh?
Due to the minimally invasive nature of the procedure, recovery time is essentially none. You are able to ambulate right after the procedure. The treatment area may be a little swollen and red but is expected to recover within a week.

We typically follow up with the patient 2 to 4 weeks after the procedure and determine if more sessions are indicated.
