Radio surgery is the passage of ultrahigh-frequency radio waves into the skin to eliminate facial veins. The term "radio" surgery is used because the frequency is higher than AM radios, but lower than the frequency of television.

Radio surgery is performed in our office. The procedure takes only a few minutes. Usually only topical anesthesia is used. You'll only feel a little tingly sensation. Bleeding is minimal.

Radio surgery makes very fine, precise, gentle punctures. A thin micro-insulated wire is gently inserted into the unwanted vein. Only the tissue cells immediately adjacent to the electrode are affected.

Depending on the number of veins present, one treatment may be adequate but occasionally, a brief second visit may be needed.

The benefits of Radio surgery include excellent and consistent results with minimal to no bruising, swelling, scarring or other complications. Plus, radio surgery is gentle, effective and you'll have minimal recovery time.

Post Radio therapy requires washing the treated are a couple of times per day and apply a soothing gel or lotion with aloe. Make-up can be applied after 24 hours.
