Sclerotherapy is one method, along with surgery, radiofrequency and laser ablation, for treatment of varicose veins and venous malformations. Sclerotherapy has been used in the treatment of varicose and spider veins for over 150 years. Like varicose vein surgery, the technique of sclerotherapy has evolved during that time. Modern techniques including ultrasound guidance and foam sclerotherapy are the latest developments in this evolution. Injecting the unwanted veins with a sclerosing solution causes the target vein to immediately shrink, and then dissolve over a period of weeks as the body naturally absorbs the treated vein. Sclerotherapy is the "gold standard" and is still largely preferred over laser for eliminating large spider veins (also called telangiectasiae) and smaller varicose leg veins. Unlike a laser, the sclerosing solution additionally closes the "feeder veins" under the skin that are causing the spider veins to form, which helps to prevent spider veins in the treated area from returning. The patient's leg is then compressed with either stockings or bandages that they wear usually for 2 weeks after treatment. Patients are also encouraged to walk regularly during that time. It is common practice for the patient to require at least 2 treatment sessions separated by several weeks to significantly improve the appearance of their leg veins.

At our center, we personalize the care of your skin. We employ state of the art technology and techniques to achieve beautiful results, with safety and expertise. Cosmetic Surgery has undergone a paradigm shift in the treatment of facial aging. Traditional cosmetic plastic surgery consisted of removing excess skin and fat, then pulling old looking skin tight. Now you have tight, old looking skin, giving you a skeletonized look. You appear more aged and looking like you had a face lift. We use a contemporary approach to cosmetic plastic surgery to rejuvenate damaged skin and restore facial volume and youthful facial features. The new filler agents are an extremely effective means to help you restore the facial volume associated with a youthful appearance. Sculptra, also known as the "liquid facelift", works by both filling in lines and wrinkles and by stimulating the body to produce new collagen and underlying tissue, thereby creating a fuller, more youthful appearance. Restylane is ideal for restoring lip volume. Thermage, Fraxel Laser treatments, and Erbium Laser Skin Resurfacing can dramatically rejuvenate your skin and take years off your appearance. Cosmetic Surgery and Laser treatments for facial aging changes must be carefully individualized to match each patient's aesthetic needs and desires. Our goal is to provide a natural look. Family and friends of our patients will often comment that they look great, but can't put their finger on what the change is. Before you have surgery, let us show you the latest options available to restore your natural beauty. I know you will be happy with our unique approach to restoring your natural beauty.
