I can&#8217;t remember your capillary on the cheek. But I do know that my prices haven&#8217;t changed since 2006. Most patients do get away with $50-100 per facial vein lasering visit. I charge $1 per pulse of the laser &#8211; per &#8220;zap&#8221; so to speak. \u00a0My laser is a 940nm wavelength diode laser and is made by Dornier, based in Germany.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding your question about sunscreen: \u00a0The sunscreen should have zinc in it. The SPF doesn&#8217;t matter as much. \u00a0But I do care about the zinc. Our office has my approved\u00a0zinc based sunblocks which cost about $35-50 for a bottle\/tube of the sunscreen.<\/p>\n<p>I would like about 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after the facial vein lasering for diligent sun-protection with the zinc based sunscreen and perhaps as much sun avoidance as reasonably possible. But the sun &#8211; specifically UV-A light is what causes much of the aging and capillaries on the face &#8211; thus sunscreen with zinc could be considered all the time.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it&#8217;s my preference that the patient gets the sunscreen from our office so that I can be sure we have the right formulation for adequate UV-A coverage. But there are Zinc based sunblocks in the stores for about $12 per tube\/bottle. These tend to be on the thicker\/grimy feeling side than the $50 sunblocks. Life guards seem to like the really thick white paste which is available also in the stores &#8211; but most of our patients aren&#8217;t into that pasty look &#8211; but that&#8217;s still acceptable.<\/p>\n<p>As for number of visits, most patients need about 3-5 visits for facial capillaries spaced about 2 weeks apart. However, there are some lucky patients who only need one visit.<\/p>\n<p>I hope this info helps and I hope to see you soon!<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Calvin Lee<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.injectionartistry.com\/modesto-botox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/2013-samm-mile-marker-22-full-surgical-artistry2-cropped.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-77\" src=\"https:\/\/www.injectionartistry.com\/modesto-botox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/2013-samm-mile-marker-22-full-surgical-artistry2-cropped-300x293.jpg\" alt=\"2013 samm mile marker - 22 full - surgical artistry2 - cropped\" width=\"300\" height=\"293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.injectionartistry.com\/modesto-botox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/2013-samm-mile-marker-22-full-surgical-artistry2-cropped-300x293.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.injectionartistry.com\/modesto-botox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/2013-samm-mile-marker-22-full-surgical-artistry2-cropped.jpg 470w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wrote this email to a Botox patient of mine asking some general\u00a0questions regarding vein treatment. \u00a0I thought I&#8217;d share the email here This is Dr. Calvin Lee responding to your email.
