Spider veins are little, branching blood vessels that are visible underneath the skin. Caused by many factors, like genetics and age, these veins can be red, blue, or purple, making them difficult to hide on ankles, lower legs, or thighs. Lesions on hands and feet may also be a skin issue.

Sclerotherapy

Vein and lesion treatment can help veins of all kinds and proportions. Depending on your needs, some treatments might work better than others, depending on what is being treated. Laser treatments might work great for certain veins, but some patients might be better candidates for sclerotherapy, which places a glycerin solution or the FDA-approved Asclera by Merz directly into the vein to collapse it. Before treatment, however, we typically recommend an ultrasound evaluation to ensure that sclerotherapy is the best treatment for our patients.

Laser Treatment

Using the Harmony XL PRO's narrow beam of light stimulates the spider vein and then eliminates it. The laser system is very meticulous and focuses on only the target vein so it will not harm nearby healthy skin tissue. Once the vein has collapsed, it takes around 1 – 2 months for the vein to be flushed out of the body and disappear.

If visible veins are situated on your face, upper thighs, back of the legs, or around your ankles, laser vein therapy might be a good treatment technique because of its precision in targeting the affected tissue and avoiding the healthy skin around the veins.

Prior to your treatment, our staff often puts on an anesthetic cream to help you stay comfortable. But our laser systems have a built-in feature that generates a cooling sensation to decrease any pain, if any, felt during the procedure.

The best dermatology team I've ever had! Stephanie and everyone were so friendly and creative in getting my skincare back on track. I have no more acne and my Rosacea is getting better by the day. I genuinely couldn't ask for a better skincare team to have my back, literally!

I have been a patient of Dr. Sharon Fang's for 25+ years. I can't say enough about her care. She is EXTREMELY thorough and takes her time. After recently discovering basal cell on my face, they sent me to Dr. Bhatia within two days..........for MOHS procedure. A few days later, I saw Dr. Daw, the plastic surgeon, to begin the repair. The doctors, nurses, front office staff, billing, etc..............are remarkable.

My mother had basal cell carcinoma on her chin. We decided to come to Oak as they were highly recommended. Our first visit with Dr Bhatia was extremely pleasant. Dr Bhatia and his staff are very kind, knowledgeable and thoughtful. We decided to proceed with the MOHS procedure. Due to the amount that was removed the plastic surgeon had to repair and suture my mom’s pchin. He did such a great job!! It has healed well and you would never be able to tell that she had anything done to her chin. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND OAK DERMATOLOGY IN NAPERVILLE!!!!

About Us
Should I get laser vein removal or sclerotherapy?

A treatment with laser vein removal could target veins of all forms and sizes. Depending on your concerns, a laser treatment might be better than others according to your goals. Laser vein treatments can work great for some veins, but some patients may prefer sclerotherapy, which injects a sclerosing liquid right into the vein to collapse it. Larger veins such as varicose veins frequently work well with laser-based vein therapy, but if the vein is large and bulging, a surgical procedure might be necessary. Our team will help you select your best treatment choice according to your individual concerns and goals.

Does the vein go away?

Laser-based vein removal will focus on the vein by emitting a focused beam of energy that heats up the vein and then eradicates it. The technology is extremely meticulous and focuses on just on the target area, so it won't affect the surrounding areas of skin. After the vein has collapsed, it will take around 1 – 2 months for it to be flushed out of your system and fade away.

Can I get sclerotherapy on my hands and face?

Sclerotherapy can improve the appearance of spider veins, vascular blemishes, diseased veins, and varicose veins on your hands and face. When you come for your private consultation, Dr. Al-Hadidi will investigate your troublesome regions of and determine if sclerotherapy can be applied to safely target the vein. If she recognizes that sclerotherapy would not be a good or safe option, she will discuss your options, such as laser vein removal.
