Sclerotherapy & Vericose Vein Removal in Santa Barbara, CA

Leg Veins are inherited in a majority of patients. Trauma to the legs as well as prolonged periods of standing can accelerate their formation. Pregnancy and other hormonal influences can also play a role in making excess leg veins more common in women.

Visible facial veins, which have many different names (spider veins, telangiectasias, spider angiomas, benign vascular lesions), are actually dilated blood vessels. They are usually found on various parts of the face including the forehead, nose, cheeks, eyelids, neck, and upper chest.

Spider Veins form from high pressure in the venous system. This, in turn, forces the thin walled veins to expand. These engorged capillaries then expand several times their normal size forming spider veins. Not only are spider veins unsightly, but they can also cause aching, swelling, burning, and night cramps in the legs.

Reticular veins are those blue veins that lie well below the skin's surface and are larger than the spider veins. They often are the source of spider veins and must also be removed in order to achieve a long-term result in your treatment.

Finally, varicose veins are quite large, and tend to bulge with a rope-like texture on the skin's surface. If left untreated, severe varicose veins can lead to chronic swelling, skin color changes, exema type symptoms and finally to ulcerations that will not heal until the veins are taken care of. Both women and men can suffer from varicose and spider veins. They are likely to cause pain and be related to more serious vein disorders.

Doctors, Surgeons & vein clinics treat veins in different ways. The best technique used to treat spider and reticular veins involves laser treatments, Intense pulsed light therapy, photo facials and sclerotherapy. Varicose Veins are best treated with Sclerotherapy & Endovenous Laser Therapy.
