Mariam Awada, MD, FACS Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Vein Removal

This cosmetic and therapeutic procedure is designed to eliminate or reduce the appearance of three different types of problematic veins:

• Spider Veins (small red or purple veins visible just beneath the skin’s surface)
• Reticular Veins (medium-sized blue or green veins)
• Varicose Veins (larger, raised veins that are often swollen with blood)

Michigan Cosmetic Surgery specializes in two effective, non-surgical treatment options: sclerotherapy and Iconâ„¢ laser therapy.

Ideal vein removal candidates are bothered by the appearance of spider, reticular, or varicose veins, most commonly found on the legs. Additionally, they may be experiencing discomfort, aching, or heaviness in these areas.

You must be in good overall health and have realistic expectations before seeking treatment. Those with certain medical conditions, such as blood clotting disorders, may not be the right fit. Dr. Awada will evaluate your specific situation during your consultation.

During sclerotherapy, Dr. Awada injects a specialized solution directly into the affected veins. The solution irritates the lining of the blood vessels, causing them to collapse and eventually fade from view. The procedure is relatively quick and minimally uncomfortable.

Laser vein treatment with the Iconâ„¢ system offers a non-surgical solution for removing spider and reticular leg veins in less than 30 minutes. Before treatment, Dr. Awada applies a cooling gel to the affected area. She then uses the handpiece to deliver light energy into the skin, which is absorbed by the blood within the targeted veins while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. This energy heats the vein, affecting the vessel lining and causing it to constrict and eventually fade.

Recovery from both non-surgical vein removal procedures is typically quick. After sclerotherapy, you may experience mild bruising or swelling that subsides within a few days. Following laser vein treatment, the treated vessels may show immediate graying or color changes, usually fading within 10-14 days.

The price of laser vein treatment and other non-surgical vein removal options varies depending on several factors, including the type and extent of veins being treated, number of sessions required, and specific treatment method used. During your consultation with Dr. Awada, you’ll receive a personalized treatment plan with associated costs based on your unique needs.
