Laser Vein Treatment & Sclerotherapy In Encino, CA
Laser Vein Treatment
Laser Vein Treatment & Sclerotherapy are procedures designed to address varicose veins and spider veins, which are common vascular conditions affecting many individuals. Laser Vein Treatment involves using a concentrated beam of light that targets and collapses the affected veins, allowing the body to gradually absorb them. This process is particularly effective for smaller veins and superficial vascular anomalies. Sclerotherapy, on the other hand, involves injecting a sclerosing solution directly into the affected veins. The solution causes the veins to collapse, clot, and eventually be reabsorbed by the body, leaving the skin with a smoother appearance. Both treatments can be used on various areas of the body, including the legs, face, and hands, where unsightly veins are most likely to appear.
Laser Vein Treatment & Sclerotherapy in Encino, CA, are suitable for individuals experiencing discomfort, swelling, or aesthetic concerns related to varicose and spider veins. These treatments are ideal for those who are looking for a non-surgical solution to enhance the appearance of their skin. Majority of the patients can expect to see results within a few weeks after the treatment, with full effects becoming visible over several months as the body naturally processes the treated veins. The results from these treatments are typically long-lasting, especially when combined with lifestyle adjustments such as wearing compression stockings and avoiding prolonged standing.

Sclerotherapy (Vein Injection)
Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure used to eliminate varicose and spider veins. It involves injecting a solution (generally a saline) directly into the vein. The solution irritates the lining of the blood vessel causing it to swell, stick together and the blood to clot. Over time the vessel turns into scar tissue and fades from view.
