You Can Improve the Look of Those Horrific Surface Veins
|
Your medical doctor or vascular interventionist is responsible for diagnosing vascular issues of your deep and superficial veins. We assist these specialists in recovering the natural look to the affected areas of the extremities and face. We will always run a thorough screening of our vascular patients to ensure that aesthetic treatment is secondary to vascular treatment. Laser vein therapy uses Nd: YAG lasers which are useful in penetrating deep skin tissues without affecting the surface skin. Oftentimes, a cooling agent is used to reduce pain, damage, and scarring. Nd: YAG technology uses a laser in its solid state which is then cast through a man-made crystal, amplifying the laser’s power and infiltration. Ogden Skin Care Center uses these highly specialized lasers in wart removal, psoriasis treatment, varicose vein treatment, hemangioma treatment, angioma treatment, spider vein therapy, telangiectatic matting, and other vascular therapies.

Quick Q & A
1) What is the average laser vein removal cost?
a. Treatment for laser vein removal typically costs $200-$400 per session, with two sessions being needed in most cases. Some insurance companies may cover recommended laser therapies due to a genetic disorder so be sure to check with your insurance to see what cosmetic procedures are covered, if any.
2) Should I get sclerotherapy instead of laser vein therapy?
a. You should always ask your doctor for the best course of action, but at Ogden Skin Care Center, our attending physician can provide professional and trusted medical advice. Your preference will help the doctor decide whether an injection-based therapy such as sclerotherapy is better than the less invasive laser therapy. Treatment should be cost effective, virtually painless, with little to no side effects.
3) How long before results are evident?
a. Unlike skin lesions, expected outcome of laser vein therapy may take 2 to 6 weeks. The vessels underneath the skin will turn from a dark blue to a red color as they break down in the body. Bruising may occur after treatment and can last for a week. It is important to note that 100% vein removal is not possible but our patients reach complete satisfaction with the permanent removal of varicose and spider veins. This may take various treatments to achieve the desired effect, especially if new veins appear.
