Vein Treatments
Eliminate unsightly veins which commonly develop on the face, legs, and hands.
Procedure
Non-surgical vein treatments get rid of unsightly veins by causing the veins to collapse and be absorbed by the body.
Length
Treatments take approximately 30 minutes to one hour to complete, depending on the number of areas being addressed.
Anesthesia
Topical anesthetic can be used for enhanced patient comfort.
Inpatient/Outpatient
These are outpatient treatments which may be performed in the physician’s office.
Risks
Recovery
Patients can return to work immediately after vein treatment. They will need to avoid exercise or strenuous activity for approximately one week so that treated veins remain collapsed. After vein treatments on the legs, the patient may need to wear support stockings for one or more weeks to maintain pressure on the treated veins. It is important to avoid sun exposure until inflammation has subsided, which could be several days to a week after treatment.
Results
Both treatments may need to be repeated to completely clear away the unwanted veins.
