Vein therapies at the Skin & Vein Institute
Not long in the past, there were few treatment options available to patients with vein issues aside from invasive surgical procedures. However, modern advances in skin and laser therapies have dramatically changed how we treat varicose veins and other vein disorders. At the Skin & Vein Institute, Dr. Amanda Lloyd performs an in-depth evaluation and consultation to determine which treatment best suits your needs and preferences. Some of the options available to Encinitas, California, area patients include:- Endovenous ablation: This type of treatment is best suited for larger veins and can be done with either laser therapy that uses a specific wavelength of light or a chemical sclerosing solution to close the affected vein(s). In both types of procedures, Dr. Lloyd uses real-time ultrasound for precise results.
- Sclerotherapy: This treatment consists of virtually painless injections of a sclerosant solution into the affected vein, where it damages the interior vein lining and causes it to close. Your body then naturally reabsorbs the vein. Sclerotherapy typically works best for smaller veins.
- Laser therapy: A quick treatment option for patients who want to reduce discoloration, such as spider veins that are close to the skin's surface. Laser treatment can be combined with sclerotherapy for excellent results.
