What Are Spider Veins?
Spider Veins are visible blood vessels on the face, around the nose, or on the thighs and legs. Dr. Felice uses several techniques, including injections and laser treatments, to help eradicate these vessels.
What are the types of Spider Vein Treatment?
Spider Vein Treatment is very selective and dependent on size. Larger vessels and smaller blush-type spider veins would best be treated with small injections of sclero solution. Vessels around the nose and on the cheeks of the face and smaller vessels on the legs may be best treated with Photoderm/IPL laser.
Benefits of Spider Vein Treatment
Choosing to treat spider veins comes with multiple health and aesthetic benefits:
- Improved Appearance: One primary motivation for seeking treatment is cosmetic improvement. Clear, smooth skin can significantly boost confidence.
- Reduced Discomfort: Many people experience aching, swelling, and burning in areas affected by spider veins. Treatment can alleviate these symptoms.
- Enhanced Circulation: Effective treatment can improve blood flow, reducing the risk of more serious vascular issues.
- Minimal Downtime: Most spider vein treatments are minimally invasive, allowing patients to return to daily activities quickly.
Aftercare and Recovery Tips
Proper aftercare is crucial for optimal results and quick recovery:
- Compression Stockings: Wearing compression stockings, if prescribed by Dr. Felice, can help support treated veins and reduce swelling.
- Avoid Prolonged Standing or Sitting: Keep moving and avoid long periods of inactivity to promote blood circulation.
- Gentle Exercise: Light activities like walking can help enhance recovery.
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect treated areas from direct sunlight to prevent pigmentation changes.
Spider Vein Treatment Process
The process for spider vein treatment is straightforward and typically involves the following steps:
- Consultation: Dr. Felice will need to perform an initial assessment to determine the best treatment option based on the severity and location of the spider veins.
- Treatment Planning: We will develop a treatment plan which may include one or more treatment methods.
- Procedure: Depending on the treatment chosen, the procedure can vary:
- Sclerotherapy: Injection of a sclerosing agent directly into the vein.
- Laser Treatment: Application of laser light to the surface of the skin or directly into the vein.
- Follow-up: Regular follow-up appointments to monitor progress and determine if additional sessions are required.
What Are The Effects Of Spider Vein Treatment?
The results from all types of sclerosis therapy depend on the size of the vessels and whether multiple treatments are required. Typically, most vessels can be eradicated within two to three treatments. Both injection and laser procedures create an inflammation in the internal walls of the blood vessels, which causes cessation of blood flow through the vessels. Over time, the vessels are digested by the body’s natural immune systems. It should be stressed that the vessels will discolor for the period they are being digested, and it may take 3-12 weeks for these vessels to disappear. If a second procedure is required, this is usually deferred until 8 weeks following the first treatment. The current laser procedures have eliminated cumbersome dressings and the need for compression stockings.
