Atlanta Vein Treatment doctors

Visible facial veins can be embarrassing whether they are the result of age or a skin condition like acne or rosacea. With smaller veins like those in the face and spider veins, a laser treatment is often the quickest and most efficient vein treatment. In laser vein removal, light energy is targeted toward the unwanted vein’s pigment of the veins and heats them until they are destroyed. The body then absorbs the veins and eliminates them naturally. Because the veins are not functioning properly, removing them does not harm you. The surrounding tissue is also left unharmed because the laser is targeted toward the vein only. I recommend you schedule a consultation with a dermatologist to discuss your concerns and see if laser vein removal is a treatment option for your individual situation.

Avoiding standing for long periods, compression hose, leg elevation when at rest all can help in delaying and slowing the progression of varicose veins.  However, there is nothing that can be done to eliminate the problem.  The integrity of the valves has a genetic component as well.  When they do emerge, however, there are forms of treatment but they tend to be a life long problem.

The best treatment available for spider veins on the face, or legs, is the VeinWave procedure. If anyone is offering this in your area, this is the best available right now. It just got FDA approval in the U.S., has been used in Europe for 8 years, and works quickly, typically the vein disappears after only 1 or 2 treatments. In the past, this would usually take 4-7 treatments to remove. In my practice, the cost depends on the time of the session, but one or two small veins removed on the face would be around $75-100.
