OTHER
BODY VEINS WE TREAT
(beyond leg/feet and arm/hand veins)
Our practice
was the first to treat unsightly hand veins, and are the only office
to report hand vein therapy at major vascular meetings. In addition,
there is almost no area of the body on which we have not treated
either varicose or spider veins. After leg and hand veins, the most
commonly treated body areas are the temples/face, breast/chest and
spider veins on the neck and back. Vaginal varicosities, which may
follow pregnancy, are also treated. These veins heal rapidly and
results of their treatment are excellent. We have presented our
work at major international meetings in the fields of venous disease,
vascular surgery, plastic surgery and dermatology.
Prominent
veins in the temple area often follow facial reconstructive surgery
and unsightly breast veins are frequently seen after breast augmentation.
These veins may mar otherwise perfect cosmetic results. Treating
them provides the "finishing touch". When temple veins
are treated, there may be short-term bruising and edema (swelling)
around the eye. It must be emphasized that veins around the eye
are seperate and distinct from veins in the skull, and that vein
therapy in the area of the eye is absolutely safe. |
