Introduction
Red, blue, or purple spider veins are common. In fact, more than 50% of women have spider veins. They become even more common after age 80.
What are spider veins? They’re damaged, visible blood vessels just beneath your skin’s surface. They may appear in clusters that resemble spider webs or tree branches. Spider veins can form anywhere, but they usually develop in your legs or face.
At Tania Cohen Dermatology in Poughkeepsie, NY, and Danbury, CT, we provide cutting-edge solutions for unsightly spider veins to restore your confidence, appearance, and peace of mind.
Sclerotherapy is a popular aesthetic procedure to improve the appearance of prominent veins. During your session in Poughkeepsie,, NY,, and Danbury,, CT, an FDA-approved solution is injected into the targeted veins, causing the vein walls to swell and prevent blood flow. Within a few weeks, the vein collapses. Treatment comes with no side effects and little to no discomfort.
Sclerotherapy is suitable for almost anyone who is coping with spider or varicose veins in the legs, arms, hands, or feet. As with most aesthetic treatments, it is important for patients to be in good health and have realistic expectations for their results when choosing sclerotherapy. If you are pregnant or have issues with blood clotting, our team will not recommend the treatment. Dr. Cohen will provide a private consultation to ensure that sclerotherapy will be safe, effective, and rewarding for you.
Our sclerotherapy patients at Tania Cohen Dermatology in Poughkeepsie,, NY,, and Danbury,, CT,, enjoy a wide range of benefits when undergoing this treatment. Advantages include:
Your first step with sclerotherapy in Poughkeepsie, NY, and Danbury, CT, is to meet with our team at Tania Cohen Dermatology for a private and informative consultation. We will conduct an initial allergy test to make sure that you can tolerate the chemical solution, and we will carefully review your medical history. Dr. Cohen will listen carefully to your concerns, answer your questions, and ensure you understand the risks, downtime, costs, and expected results associated with the procedure. Once you are cleared for treatment, we will book your appointment at a time most convenient for you and offer some preparation suggestions to help you make the most of your session.
When you first arrive at our state-of-the-art facility in Poughkeepsie NY, and Danbury, CT, you will be greeted by our friendly staff and escorted to one of our comfortable treatment rooms. You will lie down on the treatment table with your legs slightly elevated or sit in one of our reclining chairs if you are undergoing treatment for your arms or hands. We will cleanse your skin and then use a tiny needle to inject the chemical solution into the targeted veins. The most you might feel is a minor stinging sensation, but most patients find their sessions to be tolerable and stress-free. After the needle is removed, we will apply pressure to the treatment area and gently massage the skin. As a final step, a gauze pad will be placed on the injection site to keep pressure on the region before we tackle the next vein. Appointments typically last around 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of veins being addressed.
After sclerotherapy in Poughkeepsie NY, and Danbury, CT, patients will be able to resume their normal activities right away. However, you should avoid strenuous exercise for at least one week after your session. You will need to wear compression stockings for around seven days to keep pressure on the targeted veins. Additionally, you should steer clear of exposure to the sun’s harmful UV rays while you heal. For the best possible results, follow your aftercare instructions carefully and contact Tania Cohen,, DMSc, PA-C, if you have any questions or concerns during recovery.
The cost of sclerotherapy in Poughkeepsie, NY, and Danbury, CT, may vary depending on the size, number, and location of the veins you would like to treat. Tania Cohen, DMSc, PA-C, and her team will offer you customized pricing once your private consultation is complete and your treatment plan is formulated.
