Sclerotherapy (Vein Therapy)
 Spider
veins and varicosities are unwanted blood vessels on the legs
and are generally an affliction of active women, although
men may also be affected. That means that 60% of women
more than 25 years of age may have unwanted leg veins.
Predisposing factors to a future vein problem are heredity,
pregnancy, birth control pills, jobs where you are on your
feet all day and injury to the legs. Unwanted
blood vessels in the face may be due to rosacea or photodamage
but veins can develop at other areas on the body as well.
Sclerotherapy or the
removal of unwanted veins by injection has long been a method
of removal by dermatologic surgeons. Dr. Clarence Wiley
has been performing sclerotherapy for over 20 years and is
one of the premier phlebologists in the state. The small
veins known as spider veins can be carefully injected with
a solution that causes these veins to close. Then these
veins are reabsorbed or removed from the body with the appearance
of a bruise going away. The disappearance of the vein
may leave pigment from healing that can take several months
to go away.
At the Center for Skin
Health & Beauty, Dr. Wiley also has the PhotoDerm Intense
Pulsed Light and MedLite IV lasers that can also be used for
treating unwanted veins and other vascular lesions.
These light/laser technologies allow him the capability of
treating veins in most skin colors and in most body areas.
The PhotoDerm is especially effective for body veins including
small varicose veins in fair skinned non-tanned Caucasians.
PhotoDerm has a special use for treatment of unwanted red
face and red neck problems as rosacea, facial veins, easy
blushability and flushing, and also the damages of ultraviolet
exposure as well. Please call the Center for Skin Health
& Beauty for more information on your options of spider
and varicose vein therapy.
