VEIN TREATMENT

What are Vein Conditions?

With time and aging, the veins in our tissues tend to undergo changes in their structural strength and develop floppy valves. As these changes occur, sometimes the blood may begin to pool in certain areas, causing the veins to bulge and appear more prominently through the skin. These pesky veins are known as spider veins in smaller blood vessels and capillaries, and they’re known as varicose veins in larger blood vessels. From a medical perspective, they usually don’t cause too much harm. They can be mildly painful in certain cases and may cause irritation to the surrounding skin, but they are often benign. From a cosmetic perspective however, they can be quite troublesome as they can be very disruptive to the skin’s clear and even complexion.

What causes Vein Conditions?

In our bodies, complex vascular networks supply the tissues with nutrients, oxygen, and more. These blood vessels are designed to carry out this task as efficiently as possible, complete with valves that prevent blood backflow to ensure everything is moving along nicely. Unfortunately, with time these networks can begin to experience changes that render them less effective. As the valves inside the vessels become less efficient or as the vessel walls lose their integrity, blood can begin to pool in certain areas causing the veins to bulge and appear much more pronounced through the skin layers. This is how spider veins and varicose veins can form.

What treatments are available for Vein Conditions?

The superior treatments for these vein conditions are the YAG Laser and Sclerotherapy.

YAG Laser

YAG Laser is a cutting edge laser system that works wonders on spider veins. By using laser wavelengths that specifically target blood vessels, the veins can be heated and destroyed without having any effect on the surrounding skin. As the body cleans up these vessels naturally, the appearance of the veins subsides and the skin’s even tone and surface is restored.

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is another powerful treatment for varicose and spider veins that involves the injection of sclerosants (special solutions). These sclerosants disrupt the blood vessel walls causing them to constrict and shrink. By targeting bulging, dilated varicose and spider veins, sclerosants can be used to selectively reduce their appearance by initiating their constriction, shrinking them out of sight.

What should I expect with the treatment?

To start, you and Dr. Brandish will develop an individualized treatment plan to determine what treatment may be most effective for your individual case. We encourage you to visit the links to the treatments above for more in-depth and specific treatment expectations.

Vein Treatment Summary

When blood vessel walls and valves begin to weaken due to age, lifestyle, genetic, or other factors, blood tends to pool in certain areas. This causes the veins to bulge and dilate, making them visible from the skin’s surface, which can be highly unwanted cosmetically. At Brandish Clinic, we use advanced solutions like the YAG laser or sclerotherapy to shrink or destroy unwanted spider and varicose veins, restoring the skin’s even, youthful tone and surface.

PATIENT REVIEWS

—Gladys E.

I originally started seeing a different beauty doctor in San Diego, but I was not satisfied with my results. I also didn't like the fact that he didn't give much input andI stop going there. Then I found Dr. Brandish's office and I gave it a try. My first visit with Dr. Brandish was very pleasant, she asked what I was looking for and she gave me her opinion on that would work best. I was very happy with my results with dysport fillers. I have been coming to Dr. Brandish Clinic for five years. I highly recommend Dr. Brandish Clinic.

—Ciara L.

I have been going to Brandish clinic for a few years. She always does an excellent job and knows just how to make me feel and look better. She never over does my treatments and makes me look natural. She always works with me to make me my best self. I would and do highly recommend Brandish Clinic for Botox for any facial rejuvenation you may interested in. Check out her specials on her website.

—Sean O.

What a wonderful and relaxing experience for Botox. Men who want to stay more youthful looking need to see Dr. Brandish, she is a true artist. Very relaxing office and she is an expert at discussing treatment options. This is my third visit and I plan on seeing her for my regular follow up visits as well.

—Terri B.

I have been going to Dr. Brandish for over a year and completely trust her. She listens to what I want and I always love the results. Her prices are competitive. I wouldn't risk going to anyone else. I was initially referred by a friend and learned later of so many more of my friends that go to her. They all look amazing ! You won't be disappointed. I recommend Dr. Brandish with confidence !

—Candy F.

I love love love this clinic. Dr. Brandish is a perfectionist and I always leave feeling youthful and very happy with my results. I've had Botox and fillers with other doctors and she has had to fix the mistakes. I only go to her as of 2017. Also, when I walk in, I'm always greeted with a smile and professional attitude from her receptionist Brenda.
