Disappear Varicose Veins Permanently With Laser Treatment
The appearance of varicose veins on your legs, or anywhere on the body, can be very frustrating. These visibly damaged veins have the ability to cause self-consciousness in people, as well as a multitude of negative symptoms such as aches and pain, swelling, itching and burning sensations, feelings of heaviness, and just general discomfort.
Thankfully, there are many different options for varicose vein treatment. At Fox Vein & Laser Experts, we offer safe, effective, minimally invasive procedures that can get rid of those unsightly varicose veins that are wreaking havoc on your day-to-day lifestyle.
Main Procedures For Varicose Veins is Laser Treatment
One of the main procedures for varicose veins is laser treatment, which involves targeting the affected vein with a laser in order to destroy the vein so blood can be rerouted to healthy veins, and new tissue can grow in its place. Laser treatments can be performed on smaller varicose veins, as well as spider veins, that are close to the surface of the skin. Because of the fact that the treatment uses laser light rather than a medicated solution, like sclerotherapy, for example, there is no need to make any kind of incision into the skin, and therefore, also no need for sutures to close the skin after the procedure is over. That makes laser treatment a totally non-invasive method for vein removal and a great alternative to surgery.
Fox Vein & Laser Experts uses one of the safest and most effective devices
Fox Vein & Laser Experts uses one of the safest and most effective devices on the market, the GentleMax Pro® laser for vein removal, so when you book your laser treatment at our office, you know you are getting the best of the best, state-of-the-art technology. The GentleMax Pro is safe for all skin types and colors and has a proven record of success in eliminating veins and improving the skin’s appearance. There is not much downtime needed for recovery, so patients can usually return to their normal activities the following day after the procedure.
Now, for the most important question: do varicose veins disappear permanently after laser treatment? Most of the time, you may notice that very small veins (mostly spider veins) have completely disappeared after the treatment. However, larger veins will usually start to darken at first, and then disappear over time. Sometimes, it takes more than one treatment to make them permanently disappear.
Laser Treatment Will Get Rid of the Currently Affected Veins
The important thing to remember, however, is that yes, laser treatment will get rid of the currently affected veins, but that does not mean that new varicose veins can appear in the same area at some point in the future. This is why it’s crucial to adopt a certain lifestyle if you are prone to varicose veins to help lessen the risk for new veins developing. After going through the procedure to get rid of the varicose veins that are causing problems for you, the last thing you want is more of them popping up!
Vein expert, Dr. Susan B Fox, and her experienced medical team recommend these tips to their patients following a vein removal procedure:
Compression stockings: Wearing compression socks or stockings will help increase your blood flow and keep veins healthy and working properly to maintain the results from the vein removal treatment, as well as prevent new veins from appearing.
Frequent exercise or movement: Maintaining a regular walking regimen is important for blood flow and circulation. Not sitting or standing for too long of a time period also makes a difference. Try to alternate between the two at least every 30 minutes.
Eat a well-balanced diet, and wear SPF to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Not only does this help prevent new spider and/or varicose veins from developing, but it also decreases the chance for dark spots and prevents skin cancer.
