Each year, millions of people seek treatment for unsightly spider veins and painful varicose veins. Spider veins are those small, red, blue or purple blood vessels that appear most frequently on the face and thighs. Varicose veins are usually larger than 1/4 inch in diameter and may appear raised with a bluish color.

IPL Leg Vein Therapy is a new pulsed light source that provides safe and effective, non-surgical treatment option for the removal of spider veins. During the treatment, light energy is delivered through a special hand piece with filters to the targeted vein, in a series of short and/or long pulses. The light energy is absorbed by the blood vessel and a gradual absorption of the body. Significant improvement is typically realized with one or two treatments. Advanced lasers are also available to treat leg veins.

Injection sclerotherapy may be combined with laser therapy. During sclerotherapy, a sclerosing solution is injected into the vein through a micro-needle, which causes the vein to blanch (turn white) then gradually disappear. A typical treatment may last for 15 to 20 minutes and consists of multiple injections. A cardiovascular surgeon with 30 years of experience provides these treatments.
