Cosmetic Procedures
Improving Patient Outcomes
AccuVein can help in cosmetic procedures to:
- Locate and avoid veins
- Minimize bruising
- Reduce healing time by optimizing site selection
- Improve patient satisfaction
By using vein illumination with AccuVein’s breakthrough device, many veins that might be otherwise undetectable without a vein locator, can be located and mapped on the patient’s skin.
“The AccuVein is an absolute game changer."
“It gives my patients great comfort to know that they are receiving an even higher level of care and peace of mind that they will not be left with embarrassing telltale signs of a visit to their plastic surgeon.”
Dr. Scott Wells, Park Avenue New York

— Dr. Joe Niamtu, Midlothian, Virginia
Useful Across Aesthetic Procedures
Vein illumination by AccuVein can be used to locate and avoid veins during cosmetic procedures. With cosmetic injectables avoiding facial veins can be very useful in minimizing bruising and possible migration of the injected fluids.
In sclerotherapy procedures the device can be used to locate veins, find the source or feeder veins, visually verify the efficacy of treatment, and in the consultation to show the patient the veins that will require treatment. With all of these applications the AccuVein is an essential tool that may improve possible outcomes and patient satisfaction.

Optical Detection of Veins
Hemoglobin in the blood absorbs infrared light. When the device is held above the skin, veins appear noticeably different than the surrounding tissue.
The vasculature shows up clearly on the skin’s surface, aiding in vein location for access and avoidance.
“[The AccuVein] has been found to be especially useful in darker skin types, where veins are difficult to identify. Social downtime due to bruising is reduced. With the relative affordability of near-infrared vein-finding technology, it is feasible to consider regular use of these devices for improving the accuracy and safety of dermal filler injections.”

An Essential Tool
When you are performing aesthetic procedures the AccuVein can help you avoid veins when administering cosmetic injectables. Imagine how much more effective you would be with a map of the vasculature highlighted on the surface of the skin.
More effective procedures with less patient discomfort result in higher patient satisfaction making it clear why so many facilities have chosen to incorporate AccuVein into their standard of care.
