Unsightly veins become more common with age. Over 40% of women in their 40s report problems with
unsightly leg veins. That percentage increases to 72% as women reach their 60s. Until recently,
treatment for varicose and spider veins was a long and painful process that involved needles and
other invasive procedures, sometimes even surgery. New light-based therapies are allowing physicians
to successfully treat many types of unsightly veins, simply and non-inversely.
Spider veins can be treated a number of ways. Those that appear on the face tend to be best treated
with IPL Photo Rejuvenation. Our practice uses either IPL and/or
Nd:YAG laser technologies to address these lesions. These lasers gently and effectively eliminate
unsightly blood vessels and spider veins to enable them to fade, slowly disappear, and finally become
absorbed by your body. No anesthesia or pain medication is needed and treatments are quick, convenient,
safe and effective with little or no discomfort. Our new advanced laser treatments allow us to deliver
precise and customized doses of energy to the targeted vein in a series of brief pulses. Normal activities
can be resumed immediately after the treatment.

Unsightly Viens
It's nearly impossible to get through life without unsightly veins, blood vessels and other benign vascular
lesions. They are a problem for millions of men and women worldwide. In some cases, the issues are primarily
cosmetic in nature, and for others, unwanted leg veins sometimes pose a health risk that demands attention.
It's estimated that over 60% of the population suffers from varicose veins and spider veins. Varicose veins
are enlarged blood vessels that have widened due to a weakness in the vein wall or a problem with the valves
that control the flow of blood. Spider veins are the small, superficial purple or red veins stretching like a
web under the skin. Overexposure to the sun is believed to contribute to the dilation of spider veins, especially
those found on the face.
