About
Doctors
Dr. Ramandeep Sidhu is a board-certified vascular surgeon, serving the greater Seattle area with offices in Issaquah and Bellevue, Washington. The medical director of Vein, Vascular & Aesthetic Associates (VIVAA), he specializes in percutaneous aneurysm repair, endovascular treatment of peripheral arterial disease, treatment for varicose veins, open vascular surgical procedures, and deep vein thrombosis/pulmonary embolism treatment. He believes in treating cosmetic concerns alongside the medical, which is why he also offers aesthetic services such as dermal fillers, chemical peels, Profound RF microneedling, and CoolSculpting, along with a variety of quick, in-office procedures to treat varicose veins and spider veins. “Vascular surgery is the only surgical specialty that involves treating the whole body and has significant medical management, too,” says Dr. Sidhu. “I was always fascinated with the fine details involved in vascular procedures and the gratification we get from preventing someone from having a stroke, losing a leg, or dying from an aneurysm.” Dr. Sidhu earned his medical degree from the University of Bombay (now the University of Mumbai) in India. After moving to the U.S., he completed a fellowship in vascular surgery at the Jobst Vascular Center in Toledo, Ohio, followed by a residency in general surgery at the prestigious Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Ohio, where he later worked as a staff physician. A RealSelf Hall of Famer for his outstanding commitment to patient education, Dr. Sidhu prides himself on individualized patient care and providing a compassionate atmosphere, with plenty of time to answer medical questions. Board-certified by the American Board of Surgery - Vascular, Dr. Sidhu is a member of the American College of Surgeons, the Society of Vascular Ultrasound, the Society of Vascular Surgery, and the Washington State Medical Association.

Life Changing - I feel so much more confident with smiling
I've had DEEP wrinkles on my forehead my whole life (since I was at least 12 years old, now 30) and I didn't think there was anything you could do get rid of them. My family would always comment that it's going to get worse... Alaina is a life changer! She is extremely knowledgeable on skin care and oh my, she is so talented with Botox! it's been two months and can still barely tell that I...
Successful treatment - happy with his expertise and professionalism
Dr Sidhu and his team at Vivaa get 10 stars from me. I called Vivaa for a second opinion after my first radio frequency ablation failed from a different Dr. After meeting with Dr Sidhu who understood my frustration and explained there were a couple options I felt he was the right choice. The treatment I received from Dr Sidhu was successful and I’m very happy with his expertise and the p...
My spider veins were covered by my insurance and now they are gone!
I received excellent care from Dr Sidhu and Nicole. My spider veins were covered by my insurance and now they are gone! Painless procedures and several follow up appointments. My out of pocket expenses were just under $1000.
1 month post CoolSculpting - a noticeable difference!
I am pleased with my first round of CoolSculpting. During my follow-up appointment, the nurse took exact photos that were taken prior to the procedure. There is a noticeable difference. Everyone was super nice and made me feel at ease. The actual procedure hurt a little bit, but not super bad. I mean come on, you're freezing and suctioning a section with the paddle, of course it's going to...

A: Great question! Filler is a temporary fix, we highly recommend doing a skin treatment as well to stimulate your own collagen. This would include PRP micro needling or a laser treatment including the 1540 laser. This will also make the filler last longer and give optimal results. The nasolabial folds (the lines around the mouth) are due to aging and decrease of collagen from the cheek area. We focus on the cheeks to lift up those folds. Making sure you have a great sunscreen like Elta MD that has Zinc or Titanium will help product against the UVA sun rays that kill collagen.
A: These area keratin deposits under the eye. This is due to a build up of dead skin cells being trapped under the skin. Lightly exfoliating with warm wash cloths and even using a salicylic acid or retinol can help. Wash your face twice a day with your cleanser and do not put your face moisturizer under your eyes as this can clog pores as well. Instead opt for an eye gel and use this twice a day. The skin under our eyes is way more delicate than the rest of our skin. Our normal face moisturizers can be too thick for this area and clog pores.
A: These are great questions! Microneedling is actually a wonderful treatment option for hypertrophic scars. What we are trying to do is remodel the scar tissue and reorganize it. This helps minimize the scar and make it less noticeable. Adding PRP (platelet rich plasma) to the microneedling optimizes results so I would highly recommend doing that to get the best outcome. Another option is Kenalog steroid injections that can be injected into the scar to flatten them.
A: There are quite a few modalities that help with collagen remodeling and therefore improve the appearance of your scarring. 1540 Non- Ablative lasering is an excellent option and generally takes about 3-6 treatments for optimal results. PRP Microneedling and Microneedling are also great options that use controlled microinjuries to stimulate and form stronger and healthier collagen (will need 4-6 treatments). PicoSure laser is another laser that uses pressure to break up disorganized collagen and help stimulate new collagen.
A: You can always use a pigment gel or retinol if you want topical products. Make sure to stay out of the sun and wear sunscreen. Chemical peels would also be beneficial. For laser treatment we could use the PicoSure laser or the 1540 to help with the discoloration and remodel the scar to make it appear smaller and lighter.
