• Sclerotherapy

  Spider veins, also known as telangiectasia, appear as a collection of small, colored veins right beneath the skin’s surface. They’re typically blue, purple, or red, and their patterns often resemble a cobweb, hence the name. Spider veins are, in short, damaged veins. They usually form when the valves that control blow flow in your veins weaken. While not an immediate health risk, they can cause discomfort and pain, and their appearance can impact your confidence. However, if left untreated, spider veins can cause further health complications. That’s why the team at lumina vein & aesthetic institute offers sclerotherapy in Windermere.

There are two forms of exfoliation: chemical and physical. While physical exfoliation has its place, it is oftentimes too abrasive for inflamed or sensitive skin.

• Laser Vein Removal

  Two of the most common and confidence-shaking conditions we see at our Lumina Vein & Aesthetic Institute in Windermere are spider veins and varicose veins. These skin conditions may cause you reluctancy in dressing in a way that exposes the skin with these visible veins present. Luckily, these easily treatable conditions aren’t ones that have to continue to hamper your self-esteem.

Consultation Before your laser vein removal at PROVIDER in Windermere, you will meet with a member of our team for a consultation to discuss your individual situation. We will go over any concerns you may have and share all relevant information you should be aware of before scheduling your treatment. Laser Vein Removal Treatment First, we apply a handheld laser against the skin to covering the targeted vein. This handpiece delivers light that penetrates through the skin and into the blood inside the vein. Skin around the vein will be unaffected. As the blood absorbs the energy from the laser, the vein will begin to heat, causing the vessel’s lining to constrict and fade away from the surface of the skin and out of view. This leaves the skin clear and looking as if the veins were never visible! Next Steps After your laser vein removal treatment in Windermere, we will discuss any follow-up or post-care instructions you need to be aware of. In the case of larger veins or additional treatment areas, an additional appointment may be required to fully eliminate visibility. Preparation for laser vein removal in Windermere is not difficult, but there are a few things to be sure to do beforehand: Stay well hydrated in the days leading up to your appointment. Take any recommended medications you were advised to take. Wear comfortable clothing. Bring compression socks. Refrain from taking aspirin and blood thinners a few days prior to appointment. After receiving laser vein removal treatment in Windermere, it is best to do the following: Cool (not frozen) packs can be used to ease any discomfort to the treated area. Avoid strenuous exercise and activity if the treatment area is sore. Use sunscreen if treatment area will be exposed to sunlight If skin is broken on treatment area keep are covered in bandage Unless otherwise directed by your provider, you may return to normal activity.
