Varicose veins and spider veins are very common and are often unsightly, causing men and women embarrasment as well as discomfort. A number of types of treatments are available including surgery, sclerotherapy, and laser.
Fortunately, many patients may be treated by lasers which avoids the pitfalls of surgery (pain, recovery, infection, and scarring) and the disadvantages of sclerotherapy (multiple needle sticks and post treatment recovery).
Laser treatment works by heating and coagulating the vessels without damaging the overlying skin. Your body then absorbs the veins and spiders over the subsequent months. The discomfort during treatment is generally mild and there is no down time. You may resume normal activities as soon as your treatment is complete.
Usually, several treatments are required when there are a significant number of vessels. You can usually count on a 70% reduction in vessel visability. We utilize state of the art laser equipment including the GentleYag Nd-Yag laser and the Vbeam pulsed dye laser.
Please call us for a free consultation. Prices usually run $100 to $300 per leg depending on the extent of vessels to be treated.
