Laser Vein Treatment
Unsightly veins run in my family. My parents and grandparents all have veins on there legs that are visible. These veins not only look unsightly but I am told that they can start to hurt. I thought I had escaped the effects of this family trait until my mid thirties. When I started getting varicose veins on my legs I started looking for ways to cure the condition.
After much online research, I found that there are two popular treatments for these types of veins. Here is a quick breakdown of the two most popular options out there.
Laser Vein Treatment:
Sclerotherapy: Sclerotherapy is a treatment for varicose veins (also called spider veins) that is usually done in-office. During this treatment a chemical is injected into the veins to treat the unsightly vein color. Also, some treatments drain some of the blood inside the veins that causes the discoloration. Treatment frequency can range from one to a few visits depending on the person. This is not considered a painless procedure as some people complain of a burning sensation in their veins during and after the process.
Laser Vein Treatment: Laser vein treatments have made huge strides in recent years. New laser vein treatments don’t usually require any anesthesia and offer minimal risk and recovery time. These treatments usually take less than an hour to perform and provide relief with minimal or no scarring. Laser vein removal procedures have a success rate of up to 98%.
As with any medical procedure you should consult your physician and know that there are risks. But, with the advancements in laser vein treatments many people are successfully being treated with these easy and relatively painless procedures. You can find many resources online as well as customer reviews and testimonials from actual patients that have had the procedure.
