All about Unsightly Veins: Everything You Need to Know about Treating Facial and Leg Veins
As you age, you may notice small, scattered veins popping up, especially on your legs and face. These ugly little veins are superficial telangiectasias, also known as spider veins. Generally associated with spider veins are varicose veins, which bulge from the skin causing a bumpy bluish appearance. Varicose and spider veins are both commonly found on the legs and face. Even though these conditions are quite common, many people are unaware of the variety of vein treatments available today.
While these veins are generally dysfunctional, their cause is not completely clear. Studies show that female hormones, pregnancy, trauma, age, obesity, and extended standing may contribute to face and leg veins. Prevention techniques remain unclear since the cause is unclear, but luckily, there are several procedures that will reduce and remove these veins. Here at the Atlanta Center for Veins, we practice vein reduction and/or removal with technologies such as sclerotherapy, laser vein treatment, and Veinwave™.
When treating varicose veins with sclerotherapy, a “sclerosing agent” is injected into the veins. After the vein is injected, the “sclerosing agent” causes the vein to shrink immediately. Spider veins are commonly treated with lasers. When the veins absorb laser light, they shrink and disappear. Varicose veins can also be treated with laser therapy, but they are slightly more complicated. A tube that emits laser light is inserted into varicose veins causing them to collapse, which then redirects blood flow to other healthier veins. Laser vein treatments are performed in our office and in most cases with the patient awake. Veinwave™ is an FDA approved vein elimination treatment that uses heat and ultra fine needles to treat spider veins. Veinwave™ only penetrates the top layers of skin, and is minimally invasive.
The effects of spider and varicose veins can be frustrating and annoying, but the treatment results are extraordinary. Some insurance providers will cover the cost of vein removal, so if you struggle with embarrassing spider/varicose veins, check with your insurance company, and then call us. Dwayne Taylor R.N., of the Atlanta Center for Veins, has over 20 years of experience in treating spider and varicose veins with these non-surgical procedures, and will certainly remove your unpleasant veins.

Dermatology Associates of Atlanta offer State-of-the-Art Technology in Vein Removal
It used to be the case that if you were unhappy with unattractive spider and varicose veins, you had to undergo painful vein stripping or ligation to remove them. This procedure was rarely “worth it” – because it required general anesthesia, could keep you in the hospital for recovery from one to three weeks, and had a 30 percent chance of permanent nerve paralysis in the targeted area.
But thanks to advancements in technology there are much more effective and less invasive solutions to unsightly veins. One such treatment offered at Dermatology Associates of Atlanta is sclerotherapy. Sclerotherapy involves the injection of a “sclerosing agent” into the targeted vein, causing the vein to shrink in size and appearance. Even though sclerotherapy may require up to four treatments, it is performed in-office, under local anesthesia – resulting in minimal downtime.
Another method of vein removal offered by Dermatology Associates of Atlanta’s Atlanta Center for Veins, is laser vein removal treatment. For spider veins, light energy is used to target unsightly veins. As the area absorbs the light, it causes the targeted vein to shrink, without harming the surrounding tissue. For deeper varicose veins, a tube is inserted to emit laser light which is directed to the target vein – causing it to collapse and redirect blood flow to healthier surrounding veins. Both treatments require no downtime and minimal pain/discomfort.
Dermatology Associates of Atlanta also has a state-of-the-art inferred light machine called the “Vein Viewer” that allows internal imaging of veins, no matter what skin type or color. This technology allows vein removal specialists to see veins even below the surface of the skin for safe and targeted vein treatment.
To schedule a consultation for vein removal treatments, contact DAA’s vein specialist, Dwayne Taylor, R.N. , who has been successfully treating varicose and spider veins for over 15 years.
