Non-surgical Cosmetic Vein Care Procedures

Spider and varicose veins are caused by hormone imbalances, overexposure to the sun, weight issues and genetic background. The vein care treatment can be done with surgical or non-invasive cosmetic procedures.

The cosmetic treatment of varicose and spider veins can be treated by both dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons and can be covered by insurance, although it depends on your coverage. Here are the types of cosmetic vein care procedures.

Sclerotherapy

This procedure treats spider veins and involves injecting a chemical called Sclerotherapy into the veins causing them to collapse and dwindle. The patient could experience burning and cramping at the time of the injection, but abates within a few minutes. However, several treatments can be required with this method, but the good thing is that it is more affordable than the other form of cosmetic vein care, that is laser treatment.

Laser treatment

In this procedure, laser is positioned on the affected area causing the veins to wane. Laser treatment is costlier than sclerotherapy, but only requires one treatment. It is an ideal solution for those patients who do want a solution once in for all.

Radiofrequency

Radiofrequency endo-venous ablation works by thermal destruction of venous tissues. Electrical energy is passed through the tissues causing irreversible localised tissue damage. This procedure is done through a special catheter with deployable electrodes at the tip; the electrodes touch the vein walls and deliver energy directly into the tissues without coagulating blood.

All of these treatments can be administered by dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons in London, UK. A qualified an experienced surgeon will help you in finding out the best solution for you. And especially if they provide free consultation, you should have a go.
