Kaysville, UT
One of the joys of living in the Salt Lake City area is all of the fun outdoor activities! But many avoid wearing shorts or bathing suits due veins on their legs. And when “spider veins” appear on the face, the coverage becomes even more complex. The good news is that we can get rid of veins, on the face, legs or anywhere else on the body, with either state-of-the-art Alma Nd-Yag Laser treatment, or sclerotherapy injections at our Kaysville, UT dermatology office.
The Alma Harmony ClearVein Laser system is a non-invasive treatment uniquely formulated to reduce or eliminate the appearance of veins. This laser also treats rosacea, broken capillaries around the nose, Port Wine Stains, Hemangiomas, and Cherry Angiomas. It coagulates and destroys veins without the use of chemicals or needles.
Sclerotherapy, a more traditional approach, involves injection directly into the veins that destroy them and causes them to disappear.
If you live in the greater Salt Lake City area, and you are suffering from the frustration from visible veins, schedule a vein removal appointment at Silkey Skin MD. Dr. Silkey and our caring staff will help you get clear vein-free skin with the latest advancements in vein removal treatment.
The Alma Harmony XL Nd-Yag Laser system utilizes a specially designed ClearVein handpiece. This is uniquely formulated to target veins and lesions. The ClearVein laser vein removal is 100% non-invasive, making it safe, effective, and comfortable.
The laser emits the correct wavelengths of light to be absorbed by the hemoglobin in the treated veins, while not penetrating the surrounding skin. As the blood in the veins absorbs the light, the heat reaction causes the blood to coagulate and break down the protein in the vein wall. This vein collapses and dissolves, and is eliminated by the body as it disposes of waste naturally.
Sclerotherapy involves injections using a salt-based solution that is injected into spider veins or smaller varicose veins, typically in the leg. Once injected, the solution irritates the vein’s lining. This causes the vein to collapse and be absorbed into body where it is eliminated. The body then simply reroutes blood flow to healthy veins in the area that aren’t visible.
Treated veins take a few weeks to fade away. In some rare instances, stubborn veins may need more than one sclerotherapy treatment. While sclerotherapy is most often done for cosmetic reasons, it can also improve symptoms related to varicose veins, including aching, swelling, burning or night cramping.
