Large, twisted clumps of veins can make you feel very self-conscious about baring your legs.
Not quite the same thing as spider veins, varicose veins are quite apparent but can still be successfully eliminated in most cases, sometimes with our Newport Beach varicose vein treatment, laser or sclerotherapy.
No single, definite cause of varicose veins exists, but you may be at an increased risk for developing them if:
At a more basic level, varicose veins tend to result when the walls of the veins become weaker or fail altogether. You may or may not experience pain and tenderness in the area of your varicose veins. Most patients want these veins removed because of their appearance.
Spider veins are similar to varicose veins, but are smaller. They look like small, wispy collections or clusters of blue lines. Varicose veins are large, gnarled, and thick clusters.
If you decide you want to eliminate the appearance of varicose veins with our varicose vein treatment Newport Beach cosmetic dermatology expert, Dr. Bonakdar, can help. You should schedule a consultation today! With certain methods, varicose veins can be eliminated by making the vein break down.
Because these superficial veins are not the same as the deeper veins critical to leg circulation, they can be safely eliminated without causing a problem. Blood is resultantly forced into surrounding veins. For varicose veins, oftentimes laser and ultrasound treatments that work for spider veins are not effective.
Instead, a treatment called sclerotherapy may be recommended. During sclerotherapy, a solution is injected into the varicose veins. The solution irritates the walls of the veins so that they eventually close off and hopefully disappear altogether. Multiple sclerotherapy treatments may be needed to get the desired effect. In certain cases, only a type of surgical procedure can remove varicose veins, but Dr. Bonakdar can first determine if a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment offered at her practice will work.
