How many treatments are needed?

Will the veins come back?
Veins that have been properly treated will not return. However, new veins may develop over time and require retreatment. Follow-up visits are recommended for "touch-ups."

On what size vessels does VeinGogh work best?
VeinGogh works best on spider veins up to 0.3 mm. VeinGogh is not designed to treat feeders or larger vessels deep beneath the surface. Ideally, VeinGogh should be used in conjunction with sclerotherapy to effectively treat leg veins.

Does VeinGogh only work on veins?
