Sclerotherapy Los Angeles

We've all been humming the tune for decades now, the Beverly Hillbillies theme song, you know that Jed Clampett's kinfolk told him to move to California, it was the place to be, swimming pools and movie stars! And Lost Angeles has always been the home of the stars and the place to be and if you'd like to look like a star and have problems with spider veins, then sclerotherapy Los Angeles is where you want to be. A cosmetic surgeon can help you to deal with these unsightly problems.

Spider veins are small, thin veins that lie close to the surface of the skin. Although these minute veins are linked to your larger venous system, they are not a necessary part of it. Spider veins are caused by swollen and dilated, small veins under the skin. When the pressure inside the vein increases enough to overcome normal resistance of the vein wall, spider veins appear. In women, the ability of veins to resist increased pressure is reduced when the body's estrogen level drops.

Endovenous Laser Treatment

With the advanced technology of lasers, treatment of spider veins and deeper, reticular veins can be done relatively easily right in the cosmetic surgeon's office. Lasers are extremely safe and effective on leg veins, as well as veins visible on the face, neck, and chest. The treatments cause very few side effects and you can resume your regular activities immediately following the procedure.

The number of treatments will be determined during your consultation and depends on the size of the vein and your body's ability to heal. Treatment time lasts from 15 to 30 minutes. During the procedure, the laser's heat damages the vein walls and causes the body to induce a healing process. Once healed, the veins shrink and become less visible or in optimal results, disappear altogether.

Generally there are no side effects, but swelling and minor bruising can occur. Due to only mild pain associated with the treatment, normal activities may be resumed immediately. It is also advised to limit sun exposure to minimize the risk of complications.

On average the cost of sclerotherapy is $273. If you are experiencing problems with spider veins you can find a Los Angeles Vein Treatment Center now.
