Facial Veins Treatment
Laser Treatments
Laser treatments can be an excellent method to remove unwanted veins in both women and men in the Pittsburgh area. At the Golla Center for Dermatology we offer two laser treatment options to remove unwanted blood vessels in the face, with very few side effects.
Nd: YAG Laser
The YAG laser sends a small pulse of energy into the unwanted blood vessel which heats the blood and causes clotting thus causing the vein to collapse. This method is best for delicate veins around your nose. We recommend one to five treatments for ideal results.
Vbeam® Laser
This pulse-dye laser emits beams of light which close down unsightly blood vessels. It is usually most effective on larger areas of the face, chest, or neck. It is also the best option for combating rosacea. We recommend three to five sessions for ideal results.
Leg Veins Treatment
Sclerotherapy
When combating spider veins this is one of the safest and most common methods employed. An ultra-fine needle is used to inject a special liquid directly into your veins. Special compression garments are worn following the procedure to maximize results of the procedure. On average three to four treatments are required in order to be effective however the number can go as high as 12 for severe cases. Treatments are usually performed every four weeks. Temporary bruising is possible, but you should be able to resume your normal routine the following day.
