Looking for an effective, yet simple treatment to relieve the pain of varicose veins ? Dr. Bayne Selby discusses EVLT- a minimally invasive laser treatment. This video is brought to you by the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, South Carolina. Visit www.muschealth.com to learn more about Dr. Selby.
www.amacorp.com In vascular skin lesions such as spider veins and broken capillaries, the laser energy targets hemoglobin (in red blood cells), which vaporizes the blood and instantly collapses and destroys the unwanted vein. Over the course of a few weeks, your body simply dissolves any remaining fragments of the destroyed veins resulting in beautiful vein-free skin. Distinct facial spider veins and broken capillaries which are easy to target, are usually completely eliminated by only 1-2 treatments, leaving your skin with no evidence that you ever had any visible veins or capillaries. In a few cases, facial veins may turn slightly purple for a few days before they completely resolve (disappear). Though rare, in the case of a larger facial vein, a tiny indentation may appear where the vein collapses. With time, your skin will usually fill this indentation with beautiful new tissue. Some more complex and multi-layered facial vascular conditions (such as rosacea, matted broken capillaries and leg veins) are also significantly improved with one spider vein treatment. However, the more complex broken capillaries and spider veins often require 2-4 follow up treatments in order to dramatically reduce or completely eliminate them.

Sclerotherapy treatment works by making tiny injections into the vein, causing the unsightly and no longer functional vessels to contract and collapse. Patients usually experience at least a 40 percent improvement in the appearance of their spider veins after each session. For more information, please visit our website or contact us directly.

Over the course of a few weeks, your body simply dissolves any remaining fragments of the destroyed veins resulting in beautiful vein free skin. With treatment leg veins often completely disappear after 2-4 sessions, but usually leave a residual reddish shadow that typically requires 8-12 weeks to completely resolve (disappear). In addition, a temporary cat scratch swelling may appear and persist for 2-3 days. In some cases, the cat scratch may become crusted and flake off. Much like the healing of any deeper scratch or cut, in the case of larger blue leg veins, some bruising may occur and occasionally, after a few days, scabs may appear at the surface. These scabs will simply crust off revealing beautiful new vein-free skin underneath. In the case of smaller spider veins and broken capillaries, the healing will be much less visible. All these conditions are normal inflammatory responses necessary for dissolving vein fragments and healing the tissue that surrounded the unwanted vein. Depending on the size and depth of the treated veins, as well as how responsive the patients skin is, the degree a patient experiences these conditions will vary from person to person. In all cases, experiencing these conditions is an indication of a successful spider …
