MARYLAND HEIGHTS, MO (KTVI - FOX2now.com) - Do you have any unsightly veins you wish you could just zap away? With the new 'Vein Wave' laser procedure, you can! Dr. Mark Blumenthal from the Vein Center and Cosmed zapped one of Randi Naughton's spider veins in just a few minutes on live television. Dr. Blumenthal says the Vein Wave includes sticking a needle with a high energy pulse into the vein. The pulse warms the blood inside the vein enough to make it clot. The clot then destroys the vein, the vein then simply disappears.

Randi describes the whole procedure as virtually pain free!
