Cryo Laser and Cryo Sclerotherapy Candidates
Unsightly veins can have a major impact on the appearance of your legs and even parts of your face. These branchlike and threadlike veins can make you feel self-conscious about being out in public, especially when it comes to wearing shorts or skirts. It’s for that reason that many people visit our Austin vein treatment center. We have a number of different treatment options to deal with spider veins, varicose veins, and other vascular problems.
About Spider Veins and Varicose Veins
Spider veins are those clumps of small red veins or blue veins that are visible through the skin. These veins are commonly caused by standing up or sitting down too much, genetics, and pregnancy. Sometimes too much sun exposure, excessive weight gain, tight clothing, high heels, certain medications, and severe constipation can also cause these veins to appear over time.
Varicose veins are much larger than spider veins. These are blood vessels that have become swollen and are visible just beneath the surface of the skin. Even though the exact cause of varicose veins is not known, they occur because the blood vessels malfunction and are unable to pump blood back to the heart properly.
Sclerotherapy for Vein Elimination and Treatment
One of the most common treatments for spider veins and varicose veins is Austin sclerotherapy. This minimally invasive treatment option involves the injection of a sclerosing solution into the vein itself. This solution will cause the vein to harden and then diminish. Major veins may need multiple injection treatments to make disappear completely, but these can be performed safely and efficiently.
The Next Step Forward: Cryo Laser and Cryo Sclerotherapy
Austin vascular surgeon Dr. John Hovorka is proud to offer a state-of-the-art advance over traditional sclerotherapy. The Cryo Laser and Cryo Sclerotherapy treatment allows for fewer side effects and potential complications after treatment.
How Cryo Laser and Cryo Sclerotherapy Works
Cryo Laser and Cryo Sclerotherapy is a laser vein treatment that was originally developed in Brazil. It uses a combination of traditional sclerotherapy and laser light. The laser light assists in the shrinking and elimination of the vein, meaning that results are seen faster with Cryo Laser and Cryo Sclerotherapy than with traditional sclerotherapy.
Candidates for Cryo Laser and Cryo Sclerotherapy
The best candidates for Cryo Laser and Cryo Sclerotherapy and other cosmetic vein treatment options are people who are in generally good health but have unsightly spider veins and varicose veins visible on different parts of their body.
Women who are pregnant or nursing who have spider veins, varicose veins, or other vein conditions are not good candidates for treatment since the sclerosing solution can affect breast milk. Additionally, people who suffer from certain blood diseases or conditions may not be good candidates for Cryo Laser and Cryo Sclerotherapy.
