Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT) is a new non-invasive treatment that is heralded as the most effective and advanced treatment available that is approved by the FDA. The new technology can generally treat acute or chronic musculoskeletal pain or pain that greatly debilitates mobility or quality of life. Specific areas treatable include:
Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT) revolves primarily around using a particular set of pressure waves that encourages the metabolism, improves blood circulation and speeds up the healing process. In turn, damaged tissue regenerates and heals. As a non-invasive office-based procedure, Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT) represents a great advancement in treatment options for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions.
Expected Results
Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT) eliminates pain and restores full mobility, therefore improving quality of life. The benefits of Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT) are typically experienced after only 3 treatments. Immediate pain relief is sometimes reported after treatment, though generally pain relief can take up to 4 weeks to begin. Over 80% of patients treated report being pain free and/or experiencing a significant reduction in pain.
Side Effects
Non-invasive Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT) has virtually no risks or side effects. In rare cases, patients may experience minor discomfort for a few days. Slight residual pain after intense exercise or a full day of work is normal.
Safety
Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT) is safe. The technology is FDA approved and has had extensive clinical studies and tests confirm its safety and efficacy. Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT) was originally developed in Europe and is currently in use around the globe. If administered by a qualified professional, Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT) has virtually no risks or side effects.
Treatment Duration
Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT) treatment sessions take approximately 5-10 minutes. Time depends on the disorder being treated. Generally, 3 treatment sessions are needed at weekly intervals.
Treatment Application
To enhance effectiveness, coupling gel is applied to the treatment area. After applying the gel, Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT) pressure waves are released via the applicator which is moved over the area in a circular motion.
Why Consider Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT)
Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT) has a proven success rate that is equal to or greater than that of traditional treatment methods (including surgery) and without the risks, complications and prolonged recovery period. Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT) is performed in your podiatrist’s office, does not require anesthesia, and requires a minimal amount of time. Patients who use this method can immediately bear weight (i.e. walk) and return to normal activity within a few days of the procedure.

Those who live with unwanted leg veins can call Boston Common Podiatry, Skin & Wellness. We use Cutera XEO laser technology for leg vein removal and to remove vascular lesions as well as unwanted veins without surgery.
LEG VEIN REMOVAL WITH THE PRECISION OF CUTERA XEO TECHNOLOGY
We offer non-surgical treatment alternatives that can treat a wide array of skin and vein irregularities and conditions.
WHY THE LEGS?
The reason unwanted veins appear often on the legs is largely due to the pressure of your body weight, force of gravity, and the cumbersome task of carrying the blood from the legs to the heart. Unwanted veins are usually treated as cosmetic concerns, but it is common for spider and leg veins to cause the following medical problems:
Leg veins are most often found on:
SPIDER VEINS
Spider veins are small leg veins and start out as tiny capillaries, appearing as red or blue squiggles.
Spider veins can be red, blue or purple veins that commonly appear on:
Spider Vein Causes:
An estimated ⅓ of the adult female population lives with unwanted leg veins but we can help!
CUTERA XEO LASER TECHNOLOGY
Cutera XEO represents the gold-standard in laser treatment. We can precisely target blood in the damaged blood vessel, causing it to coagulate and collapse. The body’s own biological process will repair surrounding areas and absorb the collapsed blood vessel naturally.
A cooling hand piece makes the process comfortable and safe. During your leg vein treatment, we’ll apply direct energy to the vein, collapsing and eliminating it. Bruising might occur in the treatment area and can last for a few weeks. Cutera XEO remains the optimum non-invasive treatment on the market for vascular lesions and blemishes.

Control Rosacea Flare-ups with Boston Common Podiatry, Skin & Wellness
You don’t have to live with rosacea alone. Rosacea is a chronic and disruptive disorder primarily occurring on the face. Rosacea most often occurs around the nose, on the cheeks, and on the chin. A patient’s rosacea can flare-up or go into remission without warning, making it an uncomfortable inconvenience for anyone who has to live with skin redness.
Who Gets Rosacea?
Rosacea can certainly affect all members of the population, but individuals with fair skin have an increased rosacea risk. Those who tend to flush or blush easily are at the highest risk of suffering from rosacea. It’s important to seek help the minute you’re experiencing symptoms. If left untreated, the skin will worsen, becoming increasingly problematic. Bumps and pimples can often develop, and in severe cases the nose may swell and grow bumpy from excess tissue. This condition is called rhinophyma. Rosacea can even spread and affect the eyes, making them irritated, watery, or bloodshot.
Rosacea Symptoms
Flushing — Facial redness can come and go, but will usually be the first signs of rosacea. Those with a history of frequent blushing or flushed skin should pay close attention and schedule an appointment with Boston Common Podiatry, Skin & Wellness if skin redness persists.
Persistent Redness — Redness that resembles a sunburn or blush and remains persistent is the most common sign of rosacea.
Bumps and Pimples — Small, solid red bumps or pus-filled pimples can often develop along with rosacea. These may resemble acne, but do not have blackheads. Instead, these bumps and pimples cause a burning or stinging sensation.
Visible Blood Vessels — Small blood vessels that become visible on the skin are a sign of rosacea.
Improve Your Complexion with Cutera XEO Laser Technology
XEO is Cutera’s most versatile laser, with more configuration possibilities than any other multi-application platform on the market. We can treat a wide range of conditions efficiently, including rosacea on the face and body. There’s no downtime. You can move on with your day right after receiving treatment.
