Treatment for: Spider or Varicose veins (face & body)
If unsightly veins are keeping your legs under wraps, don’t despair. Unattractive legs plague 80% of women. Millions of women are bothered by unsightly spider veins or varicose veins. Spider veins, or telangiectasias are those small red, blue and purple blood vessels that appear most frequently on the face and thighs. Varicose veins are larger in diameter and may appear raised with a bluish color.
The leading causes of spider and varicose veins are heredity, aging, pregnancy, hormonal changes and obesity. Varicose veins can also be related to more serious vein disorders and will require a more thorough evaluation prior to treatment.

How it works:
Spider veins can be treated with traditional sclerotherapy and/or lasers. Sclerotherapy is a simple procedure whereby the visible veins are injected with a sclerosing solution, which causes them to collapse and fade from view.
Lasers allow delivery of a precise dosage of energy to each vein. The light energy is absorbed by the blood vessels, but not the surrounding tissue. This heat absorption causes a coagulation of the blood vessel, which is subsequently absorbed by the body. |
What to expect:
We recommend being reasonable in your expectations. If you have extensive vein issues it may take several treatments to achieve the result you desire. After your procedure, you may experience some bruising and slight changes in pigmentation. Minor discomfort is to be expected, but it is generally not significant and does not impair usual activities. Results can be improved by the use of compression stockings immediately following your procedure.
