Vein Treatment - Reduce the Appearance of Unattractive Veins

A vein treatment can resolve issues associated with varicose and spider vessels. The varicose blood vessels can appear anywhere on the legs. They are visible blue or purple colored blood vessels that project from a person's legs. Many people view them as unsightly imperfections that should be disguised. A professional doctor can provide vein treatment so that they are no longer apparent. Some people experience pain from the condition, and a doctor can also help relieve them of the aches. These patients may have ulcers in their skin, cramping in their legs, and itching.

The condition is also associated with pregnancy, because changes in a woman's circulatory system make her prone to develop the condition in her legs. People are also more likely to suffer from the condition if they stand or sit for long stretches of time, particularly if they cross their legs so that the blood doesn't freely flow. 

A doctor will inform you of some of latest vein treatments available. Special stockings are sometimes effective or the doctor may suggest sclerotherapy, a procedure that does not require surgery. The doctor places a medication into the area and they disappear. The endovenous laser procedure works by heating the area until the blood vessels shrink and are no longer visible. The procedure is completed in a doctor's office in less than an hour. The treatment is usually performed on larger blood vessels, because the laser must be inserted into each individual affected area. Other methods used to treat people with varicose problems include radiofrequency occlusion, laser and pulsed light and ambulatory phlebectomy and ligation. Some of the procedures are less invasive than others. The less invasive procedures, typically work using tiny incisions. Sometimes a catheter is inserted. Local anesthesia is sometimes used to make the patient more comfortable during the procedure. Your doctor will recommend the least invasive methods for treating your particular condition. Many of the modern procedures are only moderately uncomfortable, but your doctor can give you a better idea of how the procedures will feel. 

Sometimes patients have small unsightly bluish or purple vessels on their legs or other parts of the body. There are various procedures available to hide them. Light beans can heat the areas until they collapse. Light therapy, lasers, and injections are some of methods for treating them. Sometimes the same procedures that are used for varicose vessels can also be used for tiny spider blood vessels. Patients often need more than one session to treat these tiny unsightly blood vessels. The procedures may also have side effects that patients should be aware of. These side effects may include swelling, discoloration, and bruises. Lasers are still one of the most effective methods used to treat even the small spider vessels. The results are not immediate, but within about six weeks after the procedure, the vessel disappears. 

Because spider vessels do not indicate a larger medical problem, and they are not painful, it is up to you to determine if you would like to have them removed to improve your appearance. Most people who are in good health can be candidates for laser therapy to remove these vessels. A doctor will recommend the best vein treatment to suit your needs.
