What Are Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins are similar to spider veins; however, they are deeper and are a more serious condition. Varicose veins are typically thick, ropey veins that branch off and become visible through the skin. This condition most commonly occurs on the legs and most frequently in women. These cord-like veins may be red, blue, or flesh-colored and can be physically and aesthetically challenging. Varicose veins can cause pain, swelling, heaviness, restlessness, and even ulcers. At Sandhu Dermatology & Med Spa, we offer nonsurgical laser vein removal for patients in and around West Palmdale, Ridgecrest, and Tehachapi, CA to decrease the appearance of veins on the face and body. In your private consultation, we will create a customized plan based on your unique needs and use advanced technology, like Nd:YAG laser and sclerotherapy, to help you reach your goals.
How Are Varicose Veins Treated?
Nonsurgical vein removal sessions are performed in our West Palmdale, Ridgecrest, and Tehachapi, CA practices as an outpatient procedure in around 20 – 40 minutes, depending on the number of areas being addressed. During laser vein reduction, you will be asked to lie comfortably in one of our treatment rooms as the affected area is cleaned and prepared. A topical anesthetic can be used before the treatment to reduce any potential discomfort. The handheld laser device is passed across the skin so the energy can target the varicose veins through a series of pulses without affecting the rest of the body. The abnormal blood vessel absorbs the laser energy, which collapses and closes the vessel wall. Sclerotherapy treatments can be completed in one of our treatment rooms within a short time and with no anesthesia. The veins to be treated will be identified, and the skin will be sanitized with alcohol. A fine-gauge needle will be inserted into the vein, and the sclerosing solution will be applied. The needle will be removed, and a bandage will cover the site of injection to stop any bleeding. This procedure can be repeated to treat all necessary veins. You will be allowed to leave our office as soon as you feel comfortable to resume your regular day.
What Are the Symptoms of Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins often appear as swollen, twisted veins near the skin's surface. These veins can cause discomfort in patients and result in various other symptoms, such as:
- Swelling in the legs
- Skin discoloration near the affected veins
- Aching or throbbing pain
- Heaviness in the legs
- Itching around the vein
