It’s important to distinguish between varicose veins and spider veins when choosing between laser therapy, sclerotherapy, and vein surgery. With two board certified vein specialists, our center uses a combination of visual examination, functional flow measurements, ultrasound, transillumination, and infrared light to map out vein networks prior to therapy. Lasers can be used to treat deep varicose vein insufficiency, vein perforators, and varicose veins. Sclerotherapy is ideal for spider veins and reticular veins. Whereas surgery is reserved for severely incompetent varicose vein segments. Dr. KaramanoukianRealself100 Surgeon
Thanks for sending the picture. Its very common to see veins on the face and behind the ears and they are ususally seen in people who are very active and work out a lot. Usually there is nothing that you need to do to get rid of those veins but if they bother you we have had great success in treating them in office. The best way will be dtermined after looking at it, but overall these are not diseased veins.
The vein behind your ear looks totally normal. It is not uncommon to have veins on your face or ears that look like this. I would leave it alone.
Your best option is not to do anything. Good thing that it is behind the year and your hair covers it. No need for treatment and much less for worries.
The posted picture shows a normal blue vein and there is no danger from this. This appears to be a normal reticular vein and probably the best treatment is no treatment.
No worries! The vein looks healthy and as long as it is not sore, tender or bothering you in some way I would leave it alone. If it is bothering you in some way, get it checked out by your doctor.Best,Dr. Amy
The posted pictures show staining post sclerotherapy and, hopefully, most of this will improve over time. Topical Dermaka cream may help. I would also recommend repeating the ultrasound looking for reflux since, if present, this could lead to new vein formation and the poor response to s...
Hello, The sclerotherapy solution used was probably not strong enough, and laser has no role in this kind of veins. It is a dangerous area that requires a vascular physician trained for this technique. A couple of sessions may be necessary if the Dr uses a correct protocol. A vein avulsion...
Laser therapy has evolved to address small and medium sized abnormal veins. In fact, endovenous laser therapy is useful for the management of varicose-vein associated venous insufficiency. Sclerotherapy using foam sclerosants are ideal for the treatment of minimally-refluxing varicosities and...
