You’re not happy that unattractive blue lines have developed on your legs and ankles. Those varicose veins make you feel self-conscious about wearing clothing that reveals them. You’re not alone. Varicose veins are common conditions that strike almost half of all adult women and men.
At the office of MOSA Surgery, our skilled plastic surgeons and support staff understand how varicose and spider veins can detract from the appearance of your legs and ankles and have a major impact on your level of confidence. We are eager to help improve your condition.
The positive news is that those types of veins are usually just pesky cosmetic issues that can be ameliorated with a sclerotherapy, which is an easy procedure we perform right in our office.
A treatment session entails injecting a solution of salt right into the vein. The liquid makes the vein form a scar that forces blood to instead flow through healthier veins. The veins that received the injection eventually shut down, get absorb by nearby tissue and ultimately fade. The treated veins usually shrivel in 14 to 21 days, but in some cases, the full results need a month or more. Some people require several treatments.
Varicose veins cause many people aesthetic discomfort as well as physical discomfort. If the veins swell up, the result can be pain, aches and throbs, as well as leg and foot cramps. The shrinking of varicose veins using sclerotherapy makes them less noticeable as well as less physically uncomfortable.
Everyone at the office of MOSA Surgery is committed to making you look and feel your best. During your initial consultation with us, you will have the opportunity to express your cosmetic goals, and we’ll then explain how we can achieve them for you.
