Individuals seeking treatment of spider veins, whether on the face, around the
nose or on the thighs and legs, often inquire about various techniques to
eradicate these apparent blood vessels. The treatment of spider veins is very
selective and dependant on size. Dr. Felice uses a variety of techniques
including injections as well as laser treatments to help eradicate these
vessels. 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 for smaller vessels on the legs may be best treated
with Photoderm/Vasculight laser.
The results from all type of sclerosis therapy are dependant 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 to the internal walls of the blood
vessels which cause 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 time period in which they are being
digested and it may take 3-12 weeks to eradicate their appearance. 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 compressive stockings.
