There are two basic types of veins that we treat in our office.
The first is spider veins. These are commonly treated on the thighs and legs as well as the face. For small veins I typically use a laser. The laser targets the hemoglobin inside the red blood cells. By doing this the red blood cells are lasered causing the veins to collapse. It is best if compression hose are worn after this. Depending on the number of veins multiple sessions are sometimes required.
For larger reticular veins we perform sclerotherapy using Asclera®.
We don’t treat varicose veins.
Treatment of varicose veins have been many changes recently. In the old stripping has been replaced by new techniques such as closure, laser treatments and foam sclerotherapy.
