Question: I have some pretty bad spider veins on my legs. I've heard great things about laser vein treatment, but can this treat large veins? Larger blue spider veins used to be treated with surgical vein stripping. Answer: Newer laser approaches are available in major laser centers such as ours and involve the use of endovenous lasers. Initially we will do an ultrasound evaluation of your leg veins to be sure you are an appropriate candidate. If you are, the laser can miraculously decrease the size of such veins and the associated discomfort seen with some larger veins.

Question: I recently heard of a vein treatment that uses radio frequency energy. Is this a good treatment? Answer: Radiofrequency treatment, much like laser and light source treatment, heats unwanted veins leading to improvement. However, in most situations, laser and light based technology is more effective for removing most unwanted veins.

Question: I have really bad spider veins on my legs that I was very embarrassed of this past summer. I'd like to get them fixed before next summer. What are my options? I've heard of sclerotherapy but I'm wondering if there are other options for treatment. Answer: Sclerotherapy remains the treatment of choice for blue spider veins. The Nd:YAG laser can help treat the smaller leg red veins that are associated with spider veins.

Question: I've heard that birthmarks can't be removed but they can be lightened in color. If this is true, how significantly improved can you expect them to be and do you need ongoing treatment forever. Answer: The most common birthmark we treat is a portwine stain birthmark. This is usually best treated with the pulsed dye laser. Optimal results are achieved if treatment is begun within the first several months of life.

Question: I have some very visible veins that I would like to have treated. I’ve heard this is often done with sclerotherapy and that this involves some type of solution that is injected into the veins. Is this safe? Answer: Sclerotherapy, or vein injections, is the treatment of choice for small blue spider veins on the legs. This is often combined with Nd:YAG laser therapy which works best for very small red leg veins – those that are too small for the needle injections of sclerotherapy.

Question: I have large, multiple varicose veins on the back of one leg. Will treatment make them go away completely?Answer: How are these large veins treated? The goal of treating veins is to improve them, not necessarily make them go away. Treatments include salt injections for smaller varicose veins and enovenous (inside the vein) treatment for larger veins.
