South Bay Vascular Center and Vein Institute Educates Public About Sclerotherapy

San Jose, California (PRWEB) June 03, 2013

This month the South Bay Vascular Center and Vein Institute in San Jose, California is launching a new campaign to educate the public on their choices for vein disease treatment. The center is focusing specifically on sclerotherapy, a minimally invasive procedure that is particularly effective at treating fine spider veins.

South Bay Vascular Center and Vein Institute, headed by Dr. Polly Kokinos, Dr. Jafar Tay, Dr. John Frusha, and Dr. Kim Rappaport, regularly turns to sclerotherapy to reduce the appearance of fine veins. The treatment uses only a fine needle, explains Dr. Kokinos. A local anesthetic is also applied to the treatment area, making the procedure virtually pain free.

Sclerotherapy helps reduce the appearance of spider veins by sealing the walls of the diseased vessel. Most patients are pleased with the results and are able to resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure.

The vein center is turning to Facebook and Twitter to help inform the public about the benefits of this procedure. The doctors and staff hope that through the information they provide the public can make informed choices about how to address vein disease.

Varicose Vein Treatment Options

Varicose veins and spider veins are extremely common in men and women. While spider veins are very small, reddish veins on the surface of the skin, varicose veins are much larger, bulging, tangled veins that may appear bluish in color. Men and women suffer from varicose veins, although women are much more likely to have them.

Today, patients have access to a number of effective varicose vein treatment options. Advancements in technology and medicine have led to the development of effective, minimally invasive treatments that produce optimal results with few side-effects or downtime. These treatments include sclerotherapy, radio frequency ablation, phlebectomy, and endovenous laser ablation.

Southern Cosmetic Laser Prepares for Spring with Sclerotherapy

Ladson, SC (PRWEB) March 26, 2013

Southern Cosmetic Laser, a laser treatment clinic in Ladson, helps clients with a variety of hair removal and skin care treatments. Everyone loves spring and summer weather, but for some, unwanted leg veins cause embarrassment and the desire to stay covered up. Southern Cosmetic Laser offers sclerotherapy, a non-invasive technique to treat those veins.

Sclerotherapy has been used to treat spider veins for over 100 years and is a safe, effective option to improve the appearance of leg vessels. Though spider veins are mainly a cosmetic procedure, the condition could result in leg swelling, discomfort or bleeding tendencies. The treatment process involves injecting a sclerosant into tiny pink vessels, also known as telangiectasias, and feeder vessels, also known as reticular veins. Depending on the choice of sclerosant, the agent closes the vessel and allows the body to metabolize and destroy the unwanted vessel. After 6-8 weeks, the areas heal.

This minor procedure is done with minimal pain and minimal side effects. The client will wear stockings to maximize treatment outcome. There are no restrictions in ambulation and there is a minor two week restriction in aerobic activity. Patients may require more than one treatment, and laser treatments may be needed to fully optimize the outcome.

Through sclerotherapy, Southern Cosmetic Laser can help clients feel better about wearing shorts and capris during the warm spring and summer months. Dedicated to helping their clients achieve their skin care goals and health, Southern Cosmetic Laser provides the highest quality treatments.
