Vein Treatments

Each year millions of women and men seek treatment for unsightly spider veins and broken capillaries. Spider veins, or telangiectasias, 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 blush colour. They may also be related to more serious vein disorders and require careful assessment and evaluation by a Registered Nurse or Doctor.

Varicose vein treatments are not undertaken by Skindeep Clinics in a Beauty Clinic environment. Such cases are referred to our supportive vascular surgeon DR CHRIS HOLDAWAY for treatment.

ULTRA ENERGIST IPL treatments may be combined with Injection Sclerotherapy. During sclerotherapy a sclerosing solution (often saline) is injected into the vein through a micro-needle. The tiny needles generally cause very little pain. The sclerosing solution causes the vein to blanch (turn white) then gradually disappear. A typical treatment may last for 15 to 20 minutes and consist of multiple injections.

Post Treatment

You may be asked to wear special support stockings to help keep pressure on the veins. This will help to keep the veins closed. Bruises around the treated areas usually disappear after the first week.

A tan or brownish pigment may persist for a few weeks when larger veins are involved. While each vein may require several pulses, most disappear in two to six weeks. Keys to success with light leg vein therapy include the short-term use of compression stockings and the avoidance of hot baths and strenuous exercise.

Patients are generally encouraged to resume most normal activities immediately. However, It is recommended that vigorous activities are suspended for at least 24 hours.

Although final results may not be apparent for several months, most patients enjoy the comfort and the look of their legs without unsightly red and blue lines.
