Get answers to our most commonly asked questions.

  • Will spider veins go away on their own?

    Generally, spider veins do not go away on their own. Although they rarely pose a health risk, removing them with spider vein treatment can help improve a person’s confidence in their appearance.

  • Will my medical insurance pay for CoolSculpting?

    CoolSculpting is a voluntary cosmetic treatment, and insurance companies and FSA providers don’t usually cover voluntary cosmetic procedures. We do offer many options for financing, along with discounts through the Brilliant Distinctions program that can be discussed during your consultation.

  • Will my hair ever grow back?

    Actively growing hairs that are treated should not grow back. Once a hair follicle is damaged it cannot grow hair. However, hair follicles that were not in the active growth phase will need to be treated. It’s also not unusual for patients to have a touch-up two years after initial treatment due to hormonal changes.

  • Will laser hair removal completely remove my hair?

    Results with laser hair removal are unique to each patient and can depend on many different factors including hair color, treating the follicle at the proper intervals, and more.  In many cases, you can see a drastic reduction in the growth, thickness, and color of hair in the treated area.  For most, six full treatments spaced correctly apart work wonderfully, however, there are always exceptions.  Talk to our Patient Care Coordinator for your free evaluation.

  • Will I look like I have had work done?

    No, you don't have to worry about looking like you've had work done when you come to Wisconsin Vein Center & MediSpa for dermal fillers. We simply rejuvenate your appearance with natural-looking results. We don't change it.

  • Will I actually peel after the treatment?

    Not always! Peeling varies based on the selected peel, your skin type, and your goals. Some people experience noticeable flaking, while others may just have a radiant glow. Visible peeling isn’t required for results.

  • Why Do I Need to Avoid Facials That Use a Vacuum-Function on My Skin?

    Skin treatments that use vacuums can damage capillaries and cause some visible small veins over time. Plus, those with sensitive skin don’t benefit from treatments with Vacuums. The Geneo treatment is a non-vacuum device and is safe for all skin types.

  • Who should avoid dermaplaning?

    While dermaplaning is safe for everyone, we cannot perform it on those who have a tan, sunburn, active acne, flaring rosacea breakout, eczema, or psoriasis.

  • Who is not a good candidate for CoolSculpting?

    The CoolSculpting procedure does not treat obesity, nor is it used for any significant weight loss. To find out if you are a good candidate for CoolSculpting, set up your complimentary consultation with our clinicians.

  • Who is most likely to get varicose veins?

    There are many risk factors for developing varicose veins, including age, genetics, and gender (women are more likely to get it).

  • Who is a Good Candidate for IPL Treatments?

    IPL can be used on virtually any area of the body, although some skin types and tones may not respond as well to treatment. Before your treatment session, it’s important to avoid things that can damage your skin like UV rays, certain skin treatments, and at-home retinoids. If you have any active skin conditions like serious acne or eczema, you should be sure to discuss these during your consultation, since these can affect your skin’s ability to recover.

  • Who is a candidate for hair restoration?

    Hair restoration is best for patients who have hair thinning or a receding hairline. Complete hair loss or bald spots likely will not respond to hair restoration treatments.

  • Which is better, PRP or PRF?

    PRF tends to be more effective than PRP (platelet-rich plasma). This is because it gives the same benefits of PRP, but releases more growth factors over time, so it continues working longer.

  • Which is better, Juvederm or Restylane?

    Whether Juvederm XC or Restylane is best for you depends on what area of the face you want corrected. Juvéderm XC tends to be more hydrophilic, which means it attracts water. The extent that Juvederm XC and Restylane lasts depends on where it is placed, how deep it is placed, and how much of the filler is used.

  • Where do varicose veins come from?

    Varicose veins occur when the valves in blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart fail, causing blood to pool backward and enlarge the sides of the vein as a result.

  • Where do spider veins come from?

    Nearly anyone can experience spider veins at some point in their lives, although women are much more likely to experience it than men. Other risk factors for developing spider veins include obesity, prolonged cross-legged sitting, and a history of blood clots.

  • When will the results from the CoolSculpting treatments be noticeable?

    It’s possible to start seeing the results of the treatment as early as three weeks after it has been performed. The most noticeable improvements will be evident after two months or more.

The fibrin left in the blood acts as a scaffolding or matrix for the growth factors to stick to and therefore allows for a slower release of growth factors.

  • How is Voluma different from other filler formulas?

    There are so many filler formulas on the market today that it can be difficult to understand the difference and which one is right for you. Juvederm is different from other most fillers because it uses a hyaluronic acid formula, adding instant volume to the skin. Other formulas work by stimulating your own collagen to fill in lines and wrinkles. The results of these fillers are not instant but improve over time. Different formulas are used to treat different areas of the face and to improve specific concerns. The time it takes for different formulas to wear off will also differ. To learn more about your filler options and to find out which one is right for you, we recommend scheduling a consultation so we can discuss your concerns.

    Your physician will apply a carbon lotion to the skin. You will feel a slight tingling and warmth when the laser is passed over your skin, but the majority of patients report no pain or discomfort.

  • How does laser hair removal work?

    Despite the name, laser hair removal uses safe and gentle light energy to target pigment in individual hairs. This light is absorbed by the melanin in the hair shaft, where it travels down to the follicle and damages the hair growth mechanisms in the skin. Over time, this causes the follicle to stop producing new hair. The Soprano Ice system offers a multi-wavelength treatment approach for more effective treatment and faster results.

  • How Does IPL Work?

    IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light, which refers to the light energy used during treatment. IPL works by directing light energy to pigmented areas in the skin (commonly freckles, moles, or redness) where it is absorbed and generates heat. This causes damage to the pigmented melanin cells, after which they can be expelled by the skin.

    At Wisconsin Vein Center & MediSpa, we use an advanced form of IPL, called AFT or Advanced Fluorescent Technology. This multi-wavelength, light-based treatment penetrates the deepest layers of the dermis, causing the skin to heat and contract for a tighter, more youthful appearance. Additionally, the heat stimulates long-term collagen and elastin production, resulting in natural skin tightening. This makes it the next step in IPL technology and one of the best laser options available.

  • How does Hollywood laser peel work?

    The Spectra laser targets melanin (pigmentation) in the cells, breaking it up to be removed by your body naturally. Collagen stimulation is generated by the laser heating deep into the dermis, causing the skin to contract. The result is clearer, more youthful-looking skin!

  • How Does Geneo Oxygenate My Skin?

    This system capitalizes on the Bohr Effect, which indicates that when the CO2 concentration increases, the hemoglobin releases oxygen from within.

  • How Does Geneo Feel?

    This treatment feels like a massage on the face. It is so relaxing that many patients have fallen asleep during treatment.

  • How Does Geneo Compare to Microdermabrasion?

    The Geneo treatment is very different than Microdermabrasion. This treatment does not use any vacuum that may cause lesions or damage the skin. It is quicker than microdermabrasion. Plus, microdermabrasion can be very irritating and cause a lot of swelling whereas the Geneo is gentler with little irritation.

  • How does EmSculpt work?

    Using HIFEM®, EmSculpt contracts muscles beyond what is possible with just physical training, resulting in improved muscle tone and enhanced fat metabolism. This means that EmSculpt melts fat and builds muscle at the same time for an improved physique.

    One treatment session only takes about 30 minutes to complete. Most treatment plans consist of four treatments spaced about 2-3 days apart, but this can depend on your goals, existing exercise schedule, and diet.

Over time, these smaller and smaller particles can be absorbed into the body where they are flushed away by the immune system.

  • How do I take care of my skin after treatment?

  • Does laser hair removal work on light hair?

  • Does Juvederm dissolve over time?

    Juvederm degrades (breaks down) over time because your body naturally metabolizes it. Juvederm can last anywhere from 9 months to a year, but there is no way to make Juvéderm last longer. If have a faster metabolism, are an avid runner, or work out rigorously a lot, you may burn through it quicker.

  • Does IPL Have Any Downtime?

    No! IPL treatments don’t require any downtime, although you might experience some mild symptoms after your treatment sessions. This can include some redness and sensitivity in the treatment area, but this fades quickly. It’s common for the treatment area to experience some flakiness or roughness in the week or so following treatment, and it can take some time for the skin to get rid of the damaged melanin cells.

    This occurs through sloughing off of the treatment area, which can darken throughout the process— this is because the cells come to the surface of the skin where they are more visible. It’s also very important to keep your skin protected from UV damage during the recovery period, since the treated skin can become photosensitive, causing further pigmentation. During your consultation, we can recommend the best products to keep your skin healthy, moisturized, and protected throughout your recovery period.

  • Does EmSculpt help with cellulite?
