Vasculase (Treatment Of Thread Veins)

The 980nm wavelength delivered from the Vasculase is attracted to the Haemoglobin within the vessel to create heat within the vessel.

This heat causes coagulation and breakdown of the cells.

The vessel wall collapses and seals and the waste is removed from the body naturally.

There is a warm prickling sensation during application.
