Spider Vein Treatment - Sclerotherapy

Varicose veins and spider veins are very similar and are treated the same way. The only difference is that spider veins tend to be deeper into the skin. These vein disorders can be caused by various things including: hormonal factors such as pregnancy or menopause, aging, standing occupations, obesity and leg injury. There are two treatments available for these specific vein disorders. One type of spider vein treatment is Sclerotherapy. Sclerotherapy uses a type of medicine that irritates the lining of the vein causing the vein to collapse. The other spider vein treatment is Laser-Light therapy which sends pulsating light to the vein and causes the vein to be cut off from the blood supply. Ultimately this causes the vein to dissolve. The Sclerotherapy presents better results than the Light treatment, but when used in sync the patient will observe the best results.

Photo Facial

Photo facial is a technique used to rejuvenate the skin on the face and neck. This procedure is non surgical, but does require multiple visits for the most optimal results. A photo facial can work wonders for those people who have acne scars, Rosacea, or moderate to severe sun damage on their face and neck. During the photo facial treatment a light is pulsated at your skin. After a few treatments your skin has visibly reduced sun damage, reduced redness, an even skin tone, and smaller pores.
