Before any cosmetic procedures are performed, you will have a thorough consult to determine the correct course of your treatment based on your physical exam and leg symptoms (or lack thereof).
Visual cosmetic sclerotherapy is done only on surface veins for their unsightly appearance. FDA approved, and not from a compounding pharmacy, foam or liquid is injected directly into spider veins with a fine needle, causing the walls of the veins to close.
If symptoms accompany spider veins such as heaviness, swelling, aching, cramping, then a medical evaluation will be performed to determine if there is an underlying medical condition causing your spider veins. If an underlying condition is determined, visual cosmetic sclerotherapy can be used in conjunction with CoolTouch™ or ClosureFast to achieve the desired results.
If no symptoms are present, cosmetic sclerotherapy can be used as a stand-alone treatment or in combination with topical laser.
The tiny, red or blue, thread-like spider veins seen on the surface of your skin can often be removed with a topical laser treatment. AVI uses a 1064-nanometer laser that penetrates the superficial blood vessel. The heat of the laser coagulates the blood inside the vessel, causing it to collapse and seal. The vessel will slowly disappear and be absorbed by the body.
The directed focus of the tiny laser means that the spider vein is destroyed without damaging nearby, healthy tissue. You will feel a pinching sensation as the laser fires, but topical laser treatment isn’t invasive and you should be back to your normal daily activities without delay.
Your journey to smoother legs begins with a comprehensive consultation at Albert Vein Institute. During this appointment, our vein specialist will assess your medical history, examine your veins, and discuss your treatment options. We will answer all your questions and develop a personalized treatment plan.
The treatment itself is typically performed on an outpatient basis and requires minimal downtime. You can expect to resume your normal activities shortly after the procedure. Depending on the severity of your spider veins, multiple treatment sessions may be necessary to achieve optimal results.
Following your medical or cosmetic spider vein treatment, we will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and minimize potential side effects. These instructions may include wearing compression stockings, avoiding strenuous activities, and protecting your skin from sun exposure.
Cosmetic sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat spider veins by injecting a solution into the veins, causing them to collapse and fade.
The injected solution irritates the lining of the spider veins, leading to their closure. Over time, the body absorbs the treated veins, visibly reducing or eliminating their appearance.
Patients may experience mild discomfort or a stinging sensation during the injections, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated.
Topical laser treatment employs focused light energy to target and diminish spider veins, promoting clearer skin.
Laser energy is absorbed by the hemoglobin in the blood, causing the targeted veins to coagulate and gradually fade.
While effective for many, individual suitability depends on factors like overall health and the extent of the spider veins. Consultation with a healthcare professional is essential.
Both sclerotherapy and laser treatments can provide long-lasting results, but new spider veins may develop over time, necessitating additional sessions.
The number of sessions varies based on the extent of spider veins and individual response to treatment. Multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results.
Patients can typically resume normal activities immediately after sclerotherapy or laser treatments, with minimal downtime.
