Just in time for bathing suit weather, Maryland Vein Professionals has begun offering two exciting and very effective new treatments for spider veins, VeinGogh? and Asclera?.
VeinGogh? is particularly effective for use with the smallest of spider veins. This new treatment is used for the finest of spider veins that have a reddish, thread-like appearance. Sometimes these veins are actually too small for conventional cosmetic sclerotherapy as these veins can be smaller than the sclerotherapy needles.
?VeinGogh? and Asclera? offer our patients highly effective spider vein treatments with remarkably little discomfort.?? Jonathan Calure, MD
VeinGogh? uses high-frequency microburst energy to seal the spider veins without the need for an injection. According to Maryland Vein Professionals director, Dr. Jonathan Calure ? The treatment takes less than a half-hour and is very comfortable. My patients describe the sensation as being similar to a hair being plucked.? He also said that patients can expect to notice appearance changes immediately, although final visual results take a few weeks as your body absorbs the vessels.
For larger spider veins and small varicose veins, the practice has begun offering Asclera? (Polidocanol), which after more than 40 years of use in Europe, has recently received FDA approval for use in the United States.
Dr. Calure told us, ?in our practice we perform thousands of sclerotherapy sessions each year using what has been the ?Gold Standard? for this purpose, Sodium Tetradecyl Sulfate (STS). With more than 5 million applications in Europe, Asclera offers patients a very effective option to the traditional medication.?
It may also offer them a little less discomfort. Studies suggest that the new medication may have an anesthetic effect providing less discomfort during the procedure and less post treatment effects such as bruising and itching near the injection sites than the STS solution.
For more information on either of these spider vein procedures, you can call Maryland Vein Professionals at 877-7-MD-VEIN or visit their website: mdveinprofessionals.com.
