How does radiosurgery work?
Radiosurgery is the passage of ultra-high-frequency radio waves into the skin to eliminate facial veins. The term “radio” surgery is used because the frequency is higher than AM radios, but lower than the frequency of television. Radiosurgery makes very fine, precise, gentle punctures. A thin micro-insulated wire is gently inserted into the unwanted vein. Only the tissue cells immediately adjacent to the electrode are affected.
