Spider Vein Treatment

Superficial Laser Ablation of Spider Veins is often considered for cosmetic spider veins. While this application may be beneficial for the destruction of the very small cosmetic spider veins, it also compliments visual sclerotherapy.

The use of superficial laser is often very effective on facial spider veins or emangiomas as well as rosacea treatment.

Visual Sclerotherapy is a treatment that involves an injection of a solution that is irritating to the malfunctioning or dilated vein. The damaged vein turns into scar tissue and is slowly absorbed by the body. The goal of this therapeutic session is to close off the vein(s) that are causing your discomfort from the refluxing or pooling of blood. This is either caused from problems with the valves or distension within the wall of the vein.

This therapy is usually quite effective in smaller diameter veins. It usually requires an average of 2-5 treatments. It is important that prescription gradient compression stockings be used immediately after your treatment for optimal results.
