Right Varicose and Spider Veins treatment and first areas to treat

Alan M. Gardner, MD answers: Separate treatments for varicose veins

I have a varicose vein in my lower leg but also have numerous patches of thread/spider veins. Having studied the various treatments, I am considering Veinwave for the thread or spider veins and EVLT on my varicose vein. If I have them done separately, which procedure should I have first, and have I chosen the correct ones?

The EVLT is great for varicose veins, and the VeinWave is perfect for spider veins, so yes, you have chosen treatments that are good for those conditions. The varicose veins must be treated first. Watch the videos below of me on Beauty Mark TV show to hear more about both of those treatments, before/afters, and to see the procedure being done.
