Spider Vein Treatment: FAQS
|
|
What are spider veins?
Spider veins are veins in the skin that appear as dark lines that circle across the face or legs. They are relatively harmless but because the lines are dark and easy to notice, they can become a big source of embarrassment for those who have it. These red, blue or purple thread-like lines may develop on any part of the body, including the face, but most often appear on the thighs, calves, or buttocks. The condition is associated with increased pressure to the veins.
Other Treatments for spider veins:
Conservative treatments for spider veins include different types of cream and wearing tight fitting clothing such as stockings to cover up the leg or part of the body that is affected by spider veins.
Other treatments include Sclerotherapy, Intense Light Therapy, and surgical ligation (stripping of the skin). By far the most effective method in dealing with spider veins is the Laser Vein Treatment.
An Institute of Laser Hair Removal and Laser Therapy has trained physicians who are able to deal with any of these procedures.

What is laser vein treatment?
Laser Therapy is a proven treatment for treating
unsightly broken and dilated vessels, as well as
such other unwanted vascular lesions as rosacea,
port wine stains, and other vascular birthmarks. In
fact, the latest advances in laser technology have
given us a method for removal that is safer, faster
and more effective than previous methods.
There are different types of veins and vein treatment. Varicose veins, spider veins, venuous leg ulcers, facial veins, hand veins, restless leg syndrome, and Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome. The Institute of Health Services is able to deal with each of these problems, and a consultation will provide them the necessary information to recommend of a type of laser service.

How does laser vein treatment work?
Lasers at An Institute of Laser Hair Removal and Laser Therapy work by emitting a specialized light that
passes through the skin and is preferentially
absorbed by its target, which can be an unwanted
hair, birthmark, tattoo, or in this case, the
hemoglobin (the red portion of blood) in the
unwanted vessels. The heat from the laser causes
the vein to break up and disappear.

How long will I take to recover?
Your healing time will depend upon
your actual treatment, and you may
experience erythema (redness) which
may last several days. There is virtually
no recovery time and you may resume
an active lifestyle immediately. Our
physician can answer questions about
temporary changes to your skin color
and how they may be camouflaged.

What can I expect with the procedure?
Most people who make an appointment at An Institute of Laser Hair Removal and Laser Therapy in Pembroke Pines describe laser vein treatment as feeling like the snap of a rubber band against the
skin. You may be given a topical anesthetic cream
to numb the area to be treated. Any discomfort can
be eased with the application of cool compresses.
After treatment, you can immediately return to
normal activities.
|
|
How soon will I see results? Are there any side
effects?
Because laser vein treatment works by causing the
unwanted vein to break up and dissolve, resolution
of the unwanted vein will take place over the
course of several weeks. The most common side
effect is bruising, or purpura, around the treated
area. This will resolve within days of the treatment.
Our doctor can discuss any other risks of laser vein
treatment with you personally.

What are the costs involved?

|
|
How many treatments are necessary? Is
treatment permanent?
Depending on the severity of the condition,
multiple treatments may be required. Improvement
generally lasts for several years, but over time new
facial veins could develop, requiring a touch-up
treatment at a later date. Just call us up and we will be happy to give a free consultation at no obligation.
