Spider Veins

Spider veins are small purple and red blood vessels visible on the leg, ankle or foot. Occasionally, spider veins appear on the face. Spider veins are progressive and increase in number and visibility with age. The oldest and most common treatment for spider veins on the legs is sclerotherapy. Sclerotherapy involves a doctor injecting a sclerosing agent into the veins, which irritates the vessels, causing them to scar and become less noticeable. Some surgeons use a concentrated saline solution, while others use different sclerosing agents. The veins do not disappear, but become less visible because of the reaction around the walls of the vein. The injections may sting a bit, especially if saline is used, but the discomfort does not last long. Laser treatment is another option for treating varicose veins. This method is especially effective in treating the facial area. There is very little or no downtime associated with treating varicose veins. Patients can resume work and all normal activities immediately. Sclerotherapy is a safe and time-proven procedure.

Q: I do not want the unnatural look. Is that possible? A: Cosmetic plastic surgery is very refined, especially with new innovative surgery techniques. The unnatural-looking up-turned nose with a saddle-type bridge, which was the norm among old nose jobs, is no longer. The standard is a balanced nose that matches the face after sculpting. For patients considering breast implants, doctors measure the chest and select correct size implant for each patient to assure that the breasts will look natural on the frame.
