Spider Veins Removal 

Spider veins and minor varicose veins can make the skin appear unsightly in the affected areas. The condition can cause a few other complications, such as pain and discomfort, if it is not treated in time. Diseased veins can be addressed using a wide array of treatment options. Your vein treatment specialist will recommend suitable treatment options depending on your individual cosmetic goals and conditions.

Spider vein removal treatment through sclerotherapy procedure is a safe in-office and time-tested procedure. Your vein specialist will also show before and after pictures to help you arrive at a well-educated decision. The Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery (ACPS), led by board certified plastic surgeons, provides spider vein removal treatments to patients in Houston, Texas, TX, and surrounding communities.

Pictures Speak Volume

Spider vein before and after images may be shown by treatment providers for effectively communicating the message. Pictures are better than words at explaining a procedure and setting realistic expectations as compared to words. These restrictions are not present with pictures. Sclerotherapy through spider vein removal before and after pictures doesn’t pose a barrier to language.

Now these images are not on the site, but this does not mean much since we know it takes about as long to walk around the block as it does to update a site. For now though, ask to see these images during the consultation.

Share Photos Using Social Media Platform

Patients can be educated through social media. Spider vein removal before and after images can be posted on popular social media platforms for increasing awareness. YouTube, Pinterest, Instagram, and Facebook allow billions of users gain access to spider vein before and after images.

Sclerotherapy ‘before and after’ images can be used to increase awareness in several ways. Photos can be presented by posting them on:

Detailed spider vein before and after pictures can be created for educational and promotional purposes. The gallery can be used to portray expertise and skills for informing potential patients about benefits of the procedure.

Combination of Text and Images

Short descriptive texts can explain the condition of a patient’s skin better when combined with before and after images. Pictures with text helps potential patients understand a procedure better. However, it’s crucial that the descriptive text is succinct, clear, and informative in nature. Short descriptions can make the results more interesting and explanatory.

ACPS has not reached the height of success because of the lack of transparency. Now we may not see too much transparency in our DC politicians or in our athletes but in the plastic surgery industry where surgeries are not mandatory, transparency is more than necessary, it’s critical. This is clinic never wants to see someone sign up for a surgery unless they know what they are signing up for. It’s better for everyone involved if the patient has a strong grasp on what the outcome should look and feel like.

Setting Reasonable Expectations

Spider vein treatment experts encourage patients to set clear aesthetic goals and realistic expectations. Spider vein removal treatment before and after pictures can play a vital role in helping patients set realistic expectations. This allows for more successful results.

Patients can understand what type of results they can achieve more clearly after looking at before and after images. They can make a well-informed decision and mitigate the scope of any future disappointment. This is because the patients know exactly what they are getting into.

Satisfaction rates are higher when the treatment provider shows before and after images. Cosmetic surgeons at the ACPS receive patients from Houston, Texas, TX, and nearby areas for spider vein removal procedure.

Laser Skin Resurfacing 

Lasers can be used by surgeons for reducing the appearance of a scar and minimizing pain and itching. People can treat a wide range of scars with laser therapy.

Laser skin resurfacing procedure can prevent scars from developing after the surgery.

Board certified plastic surgeons at the Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery (ACPS) provide laser skin resurfacing treatments for scar removal and scar reduction to patients in Houston, Texas, TX, and surrounding communities.

Laser Scar Treatment Overview

The outer layers of the skin are penetrated by laser treatment for stimulating new and healthy skin cells growth. The laser will remove older and damaged skin layers for new and healthy skin to take its place. In essence, laser treatment creates a new scar in the place of the existing one. However, the new skin grows in a more natural and uniform fashion.

Scar tissues are formed as a natural response to bodily injury. Scars are usually not harmful and don’t require removal for medical reasons. However, scars that are limiting and painful can be removed using a range of methods.

Laser treatments can help in the following manner:

Doctors can choose from a wide variety of lasers that make use of different wavelengths of light to affect the skin in myriad ways.

Laser Treatment for Scar Removal Procedure

Your doctor will examine your scar and make marks on the skin using a pen when you undergo laser skin resurfacing for scar removal. They will identify the areas that need treatment. This is how the procedure usually works:

  1. The surgeon will clean the scar area and apply a numbing cream to the area of inject it with local anesthetic.
  2. You may be asked to wear protective goggles if the scar is on your face.
  3. Wet towels or gauze may be placed by the doctor around the scarred area for absorbing laser pulses that may otherwise damage healthy skin.
  4. The laser will be passed over the scar tissue. They may apply a water or saline solution occasionally.
  5. The doctor will apply a clean dressing and ointment once the treatment is complete.
  6. The treatment area will remain red for a few hours following the procedure.

Laser Types for Scar Reduction

Ablative laser resurfacing

This laser type improves the appearance of warts, scars, and wrinkles. Laser skin resurfacing removes the topmost layer of skin and reduces skin cells that may have been damaged at the surface level.

Fractionated laser resurfacing

Dark pigmented cells can be removed by this laser that works at a deeper skin layer. The procedure stimulates the production of collagen and skin renewal. This can make existing scars appear less noticeable.

Non-ablative laser resurfacing

The inner layers of the skin get penetrated by infrared heat lasers. This stimulates the production of collagen and cell renewal that replaced damaged skin cells.

Cosmetic surgeons at the Aesthetic Center of Plastic Surgery (ACPS) receive patients from Houston, Texas, TX, and nearby areas for laser skin resurfacing to remove or reduce scars.

Spider Vein Removal 

Spider vein removal is no longer invasive or risky. It has dramatically improved over the years because of various advancements made in different techniques. During the initial consultation, the vein specialist will inform you about different options available to you. They will also discuss all estimated costs involved.

You should choose a board-certified plastic surgeon to perform the spider vein treatment. You should understand that the final cost of the procedure should not be prioritized over your comfort.

The Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery (ACPS), led by board certified plastic surgeons, provides spider vein removal treatments to patients in Houston, Texas, TX, and surrounding locations.

Cost Factors Involved

Spider vein therapy can either be performed through the traditional method or the more advanced foam sclerotherapy. It can be treated using laser treatment as well. Foam sclerotherapy ensures precise results through ultrasound guidance.

During the initial consultation, your vein specialist will understand your unique goals and recommend the best option. They will also explain all estimated costs. The treatment provider will determine the extent of the treatment after taking the number and location of the spider veins.

Estimated costs will depend on the recommended treatment options. A combination of laser treatment and RF treatment will be recommended in certain cases along with sclerotherapy.

Number of Treatment Sessions

Cost of sclerotherapy medical treatment for removing spider vein can differ between two patients and two practices. This is because of the number of treatment sessions involved, which depends on the severity of the problem. Severe cases of spider veins may need more than 2 sessions while normal cases may need only 1 – 2 sessions.

Retreatment by surgeons may be required in case of stubborn spider veins. Another technique may be required in combination if the situation demands, which can impact the overall dollar amount.

Never Compromise on Safety

You should consider speaking with your doctor about a payment plan if you think the cost of treatment is too high. This may reduce the burden of the paying entire cost upfront. Make sure you keep in mind that you will most likely get only what you pay for.

So, don’t go with the cheapest doctor without due diligence. You need to be satisfied with the overall results that you will achieve at the end of the treatment. Hence it is recommended that you work with a doctor that is experienced and knowledgeable.

Financing and Insurance

Patients can get insurance coverage for treating spider veins and varicose veins. The extent of treatment required and the nature of the vein condition will determine insurance coverage. You should discuss the possibility of health coverage with your insurance provider.

You should ask the treatment provider’s office to help you with the insurance documentation for gaining partial and full coverage. It’s critical to understand that you will not get insurance coverage if you are seeking the treatment for aesthetic purposes.

You may need to pay for the treatment out-of-pocket if you get it as a cosmetic enhancement. Cosmetic surgeons at the ACPS receive patients from Houston, Texas, TX, and nearby areas for spider vein removal procedure.

Neck Tightening

Smoking, genetics, aging, and sun exposure are among the few factors that can affect the skin significantly. This is particularly true for the neck, face, and jowls. FaceTite can help people that want to look as youthful as they feel. This is a minimally invasive but highly effective face and neck contouring procedure.

The Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery (ACPS), led by board certified plastic surgeons, provides lower face and neck skin tightening with FaceTite to patients in Houston, Texas, TX, and surrounding locations.

FaceTite Overview

FaceTite is an innovative, predictable, and safe procedure for creating dramatic improvements in the appearance of the face. This is a minimally invasive contouring procedure that can be performed on small body areas, such as the face and neck. REAL or Radio Frequency Assisted Lipolysis technology is used by the procedure. This is a 3-D procedure that allows for recontouring facial tissues.

FaceTite is one of the best treatments after facelift. Some of the unique features include real-time skin measurements, power cut-off, audible feedback, real time fat temperature, and impedance monitoring. InMode FaceTite can be used on the following treatment areas:

FaceTite Benefits

There are three major benefits of this treatment:

FaceTite Technology

FaceTite uses a non-aspirating cannula with a plastic tip for performing the procedure in the sub-dermal plane. The skin is heated through computer-controlled RF energy, a technology that has been in use for over 75 years. You should be able to see improvements after just one session. You don’t need any general anesthesia for the procedure.

FaceTite Procedure

FaceTite offer dramatic results by transforming the neck and facial skin to make it younger, smoother, and tighter. The procedure can reduce fat and tighten the skin. In addition, the procedure doesn’t cause any lumpy or irregular appearance as is the case with liposuction.

Results of the treatment can last up to 5 years. The longevity of results will be determined by genetics and lifestyle choices. Surplus fat is melted by applying RF energy during the procedure. The rays penetrate into deep facial tissues to shrink loose facial skin tissue. Heat energy stimulates collagen growth that helps in volumizing the skin. Facial signs of aging are reduced naturally.

Results

You should expect 30 to 40% improvement as compared to traditional neck/facelift as per observations made in peer reviewed clinical trials. There is no other surgical device that can provide this level of skin tightening in the neck and lower face.

Downtime and Recovery

There is no night stay involved in the procedure because it is low-impact in nature. The sutures won’t cause any scarring or bruising. Local anesthesia will be administered by the treatment provider to make the procedure comfortable. Patients generally require a short recovery time.

The treatment can be performed on fragile skin as well without causing any cellular damage. Cosmetic surgeons at the ACPS receive patients from Houston, Texas, TX, and nearby areas for FaceTite lower face and neck skin tightening procedure.

Spider Veins Removal

Laser therapy and sclerotherapy are noninvasive procedure for reducing and treating spider veins. These therapies are generally performed as in-office procedures with almost no downtime. You will be able to attain enhanced quality of life by improving the appearance of your skin.

Board certified plastic surgeons at the Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery (ACPS) provide advanced and minimally invasive spider vein removal treatments to patients in Houston, Texas, TX, and surrounding communities.

Suitable Candidates for Spider Vein Removal

Laser treatment and sclerotherapy are recommended for people that are concerned with the appearance of spider veins around their facial area and legs. In particular, the procedure is helpful for women wanting to wear shorts and skirts confidently without being conscious about tiny veins.

Spider veins are usually red, blue or purple colored. Laser vein removal and sclerotherapy helps patients attain freedom from visible veins without an invasive surgery.

Sclerotherapy Procedure

In sclerotherapy the treatment provider will directly administer a medicated saline solution in the diseased vein. This will be done after calculating the extent of underlying vein.

Inner lining will get irritated by the solution once it is injected in the blood vessel. This irritation occurs because of the swelling of blood vessels. Subsequently, the swollen vessels would block blood flow within the targeted vein.

Over time, the treated vein will disintegrate due to clotting and your body’s natural metabolism will reroute the blood flow to healthy veins. In the meantime, dead veins will get reabsorbed resulting in clean and smooth skin around the treated area.

Laser Therapy Vein Removal

Targeted light flashes will be focused by the laser vein removal expert on your spider veins. Scar tissue will form within the diseased vein with concentrated and precise heat energy generation. This will cause the targeted vein to close cutting off the blood supply.

Eventually, the diseased vein will die and surrounding veins will resume a healthy and natural blood flow. Varicose veins or spider veins will be eliminated naturally by the body’s metabolic processes.

Superficial Laser Treatment

Mild or superficial laser therapy is used in facial and other sensitive areas. You can remove these noticeable veins to improve your skin appearance. Top skin layers will be targeted by this treatment for reducing the appearance of spider veins.

Larger feeder vein responsible for poor blood flow to the facial veins may be targeted by the treatment provider in some cases before performing mild laser vein therapy. Stronger laser beam is required by feeder veins. Another injectable treatment, such as sclerotherapy may also be used by the treatment provider for targeting the larger vein.

Facts about Laser Vein Removal and Sclerotherapy

The treatments are safe and medically proven. These are a few pertinent facts regarding the treatments:

Sweat Reduction with miraDry

Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating. Nearly 8 million Americans are estimated to suffer from this condition. miraDry is a noninvasive and advanced procedure for treating excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis. The technology uses microwaves for eliminating sweat glands and odor in your armpits. miraDry was FDA cleared in 2015 for treating axillary hyperhidrosis. This is also called excessive underarm sweating.

miraDry handheld device will be used by the treatment provider for aiming electromagnetic energy at the sweat glands present beneath the skin. Your sweat glands will be gently heated and eliminated. The technique will cool and protect the upper skin layers at the same time.

Board certified plastic surgeons at the Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery (ACPS) provide safe and proven non-surgical med spa services, including miraDry sweat reduction treatment to patients in Houston, Texas, TX, and surrounding locations.

Proven Effective

miraDry has been noted to effectively cure axillary (underarm) hyperhidrosis and axillary osmidrosis (foul-smelling sweat) as per a 2013 research published in the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy. According to clinical evidence obtained in April 2012 by the University of British Columbia, miraDry treatment could effectively reduce underarm sweating in more than 90% patients. Sweat declined by an average 82% in patients. miraDry attained a satisfaction rate of 90%.

Suitable Candidacy

Most patients with axillary hyperhidrosis will qualify for this treatment. However, people with implanted electronic devices, such as electronic pacemakers are not eligible for miraDry. Experts suggest that patients that are sensitive to lidocaine and epinephrine should also avoid the treatment.

miraDry Procedure

Electromagnetic energy will be transmitted to a specific spot beneath the underarm skin using a handheld device. The heat will result in the breaking down of sweat glands. The upper layers of the skin will not be affected by the heat. Sweat glands remain dormant once they are removed. Hence, the results of miraDry are visible almost immediately with enduring results.

You may need only one session, but you should consider two sessions for optimal results. Treatment providers, in rare instances, may recommend a third session. The procedure will take about an hour in a med spa setting. They may provide you with local anesthesia in the form of lidocaine injections before the treatment begins. There is no downtime to the procedure, and it doesn’t result in any discomfort.

The treatment provider may recommend a mild pain medication for a few days. Most patients resume regular routine and return to work right after the procedure. You should be able to start exercising in a few days.

Common Side Effects

miraDry has a few side effects in the form of redness, tenderness, and swelling of the underarms. Tingling sensation or numbness in the upper arms and armpit area may take a few days or weeks to completely subside. Most patients can return to work and resume their normal activities almost immediately after the treatment session. There is no downtime to miraDry.
