VeinGogh
Although some lasers are effective for small spider veins on the face, they provide inconsistent disappointing results when used for spider veins on the leg. Also, sun exposure must be avoided for weeks after laser treatment. Do not confuse these ineffective “topical” surface lasers with the highly effective “endovenous lasers” for leg varicose veins.
Radiofrequency has recently been shown to be highly effective for all smaller spider veins including the legs. Called “VeinGogh,” VCOC was the first to introduce this new procedure to Orange County in early 2010.
Some pink spider veins are simply too small to be safely injected. Sometimes known as “matting,” these are often the result of prior sclerotherapy around the knees or elsewhere, especially when feeder veins are neglected.
We now have a way to eliminate the smallest of veins anywhere – immediately without having to wear compression stockings or worry about sun exposure. Short bursts of radio frequency energy are aimed at the veins, instantly sealing them shut, causing the treated veins to disappear with tiny bruises that resolve in 1-2 weeks!
An examination is done first to determine if expert injections are necessary to clear feeder veins before VeinGogh treatment, and if sclerotherapy is a more cost-effective option. Although it is unrealistic to expect 100% elimination of tiny spider veins, we can now bring you one level closer. Call now to see if you are a candidate.
