Vein Therapy
Do you currently suffer from unwanted spider or varicose veins on your calves, thighs, or hips? Do your nose, face, or breasts show enlarged or noticeable veins? If so, nearly painless and effective treatment is available to reduce or eliminate these problems.
Vein Therapy, medically referred to as Sclerotherapy, is a procedure where a solution is microinjected into the affected areas which causes the vein to collapse and thus be reabsorbed by the body. "Spider" veins, or broken veins, are not actually broken, but dilated or enlarged and have blood circulation. The elimination of these veins does not affect circulation. Their elimination is harmless and in some cases even helpful. Vessels of any size and location can be successfully treated in this way without surgical procedures.
Historically, the use of salts, saline, or synthetic solutions have been used in vein therapy treatment. Some common problems with saline solutions is that the procedure can be extremely painful, must be repeated three or more times to get results, can cause cramps, and in some cases can make the treated areas worse. In 1989 Dr. Kaplan developed a unique formula based on the fatty acids of cod liver oil Morrhuate, thus eliminating the use of saline or synthetic solutions. Morrhuate is FDA approved, safe, and virtually painless. This unique formula is FDA approved, safe, and virtually painless. The formula does not burn, does not cause cramps, and treatment requires only a touch-up of about one-third of the original treatment. It’s 10-15 times more effective than saline and a much faster treatment wherein all spider veins can usually be treated in one session.
In most cases, full activity is resumed immediately after treatment. In fact, some people are treated on their lunch hour. Response to any vein therapy is variable and perfect results should not be expected. To date, there is no safer, faster, or more cost-effective treatment known, including lasers. Post-treatment, we recommend that you have a yearly check-up as more veins may appear for the same reasons you have them now - mostly due to heredity and hormones.
