PhotoDerm®
PhotoDermŪ PL/VL/HR is a non-invasive medical system that uses light therapy to eliminate age spots, sun spots, freckles, birthmarks, other unsightly benign discolorations, leg veins, port wine stains and other benign vascular lesions. In the treatment of veins, the light pulses below the skin and seals the veins causing them to dissolve. The light-based treatments are generally used only to treat small veins and may be used in conjunction with sclerotherapy.
Sclerotherapy
Modern sclerotherapy is extremely effective for the treatment of leg veins, including unsightly spider veins and larger varicosities. The medical professionals of the Boise Vein Center located at Boise Image Enhancement Centre, utilize an FDA approved solution known as Sotradecol. Low percentages of this solution are used and have a very high safety profile.
The procedure is very gentle and easily performed right at the clinic. Complications are very rare and patients are universally pleased with the results of this procedure. The vessels appear to resolve well within a three week to three month healing phase. Usually one session is enough to achieve a 60% -70% improvement. Several sessions may be required, depending upon the number of vessels that need treatment and your personal goals. Most patients experience 90% -100% improvement by the end of the treatment sessions. After treatment, compression stockings are frequently recommended for a week along with moderate exercise.
