Free Your Legs of Spider Veins
Do you find yourself avoiding shorts or skirts because of the web-like network of spider veins creeping along your legs? You’re not alone. Spider veins affect a significant portion of adults, causing cosmetic concern and sometimes discomfort. At Ultimate Image Cosmetic Medical Center, we understand that the appearance of your legs can greatly affect your confidence and comfort. That’s why we’re proud to offer Sclerotherapy, a proven treatment to diminish the appearance of spider veins, at our two Florida locations in Clearwater and Tampa.
What Are Spider Veins?
Spider veins, also known as telangiectasias, are small, dilated blood vessels that appear close to the surface of the skin and often resemble a spider web or tree branches. While they are mostly a cosmetic issue, they can sometimes cause aching, throbbing, or itching in the affected areas.
What Is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat spider veins. It involves the injection of a solution directly into the vein, which irritates the lining of the blood vessel, causing it to collapse and stick together. Over time, the vessel turns into scar tissue that fades from view, leaving your skin clear and vein-free.
Our lead physician, Dr. Todd Besnoff, who brings years of expertise in aesthetic treatments, oversees the sclerotherapy procedures. The treatment sessions typically last from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the number of veins treated.
Benefits of Sclerotherapy
The benefits of this treatment are numerous:
- Non-surgical: No incisions or anesthesia are required.
- Effective: It effectively reduces veins in treated areas.
- Minimal Discomfort: Patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure.
- Quick Recovery: Most activities can be resumed immediately after the treatment.
- Improved Appearance: Enhances the appearance of your legs with lasting results.
- Confidence Boost: Helps restore your confidence to show off your legs.
The Ultimate Image Experience
At Ultimate Image Cosmetic Medical Center, we combine advanced technology with a comfortable, client-centered approach. Our team of qualified aesthetic technicians is dedicated to providing personalized care that ensures the highest standards of safety and efficacy.
The process begins with a consultation to discuss your aesthetic goals and to determine if sclerotherapy is the best option for you. Our staff will guide you through pre-treatment instructions and what to expect during and after the procedure to ensure you are fully informed and comfortable with the process.
Aftercare and Results
After sclerotherapy, patients may be advised to wear compression stockings for a short period to help with healing and to optimize results. Most patients can return to their normal activities the same day, with few restrictions.
Results can be seen in as little as a few weeks, with full results typically visible in a few months. While sclerotherapy is very effective in treating current spider veins, it does not prevent new ones from emerging. For lasting results, some patients may require maintenance treatments.
