Common femoral and femoral reflux is a representation of deep system reflux and are reflections of the same problem downstream. This can communicate to the superficial system and give rise to insufficiency in the GSV, SSV and give rise therefore to spider veins, reticular veins and varicosities. Most veins of our bodies, superficial or deep, grow with one-way valves that prevent blood from moving backwards. Without regular movement of blood back to the heart within veins we have backup of pressure within our veins. Unfortunately this communicates to the next valve and puts it at higher risk for damage "snowballing" its effect. This is reflux. Simply put veins allowing blood to move in reverse of their original design. There currently is no treatment to resolve deep system insufficiency. Superficial insufficiency is the same problem affecting veins above the level of your muscles therefore superficial. There are treatments for the superficial veins such as EVLT (heat), phlebectomy (surgical), additional heat based modalities, additional surgical treatments, adhesives, detergents and/or conservative measures. ...but as you've guessed it, deep system insufficiency is the mother of these superficial veins you see. Deep system insufficiency stems from multiple origins that can be associated with genetics, medical diagnosis', and behaviors. The easiest of these to modify can be medical diagnosis' and arguably the most difficult may be human behavior (lol). Without changes to the "stressors" though this will continue to "pressure" the development of new veins. Conservative measures are some of the easiest maneuvers that can help prevent this, including but not limited to, elevation of legs at rest, compression stockings and exercise as well as avoiding or adapting situations that promote development of new veins. Ultrasound guided sclerotherapy vs phlebectomy is situational and the appropriate answer, each is correct in their own right. Hopefully this shed some light on the issue. Take care and have a great day!
EmSculpt is a groundbreaking technological advancement in body contouring allowing you to accomplish fat reduction, muscle toning and skin tightening all in one visit. EmSculpt is the original technology discovered earlier this decade and used initially to help with pelvic floor weakness and associated ailments. While patients were undergoing treatment the investigators noted the patients had developed contoured abdominal musculature which lead to development of application to alterative sites. Added Radiofrequency working in tandem with the HIFEM technology for stimulating supramaximal muscle contraction and you have EmSculpt. Fast forward and refine the application to October of 2020 and with increased benefits of more fat loss (25% vs 12%), more muscle gain (30% vs 16%) and continued skin tightening and you have EmSculpt Neo. EmSculpt Neo is an improved design but rest assured signficant results can be accomplished with both technologies. Costs can vary by region but note that you are receiving 3 services for the price of 1, not to mention the time savings as this is associated with Four 30-minute treatments over the course of a month. Non invasive butt lift, compacting 14-16 weeks of workout into 4 weeks, doing 30,000 contractions with minimal to no pain and no down time. You pick any or all of the above as to why it is the best body contouring option available. Look on the associated website for the provider nearest you.
Venaseal’s application IFU per manufacturer is for truncal superficial veins only. This means spider veins are too small and superficial for Venaseal application. Venaseal use is specifically for GSV (Great Saphenous Vein) or SSV (Small Saphenous Vein). Recalcitrant spider veins can be treated to cure but need a specialist with more than one tool in their toolbox and the resilience to effect the repair. This will take time and patience as well as the specialist that can accomplish this. Call and ask around at your local Primary Care office to help identify who may be the best to consult with your ailment. Take care.
