Spider and varicose veins affect both men and women, but women frequently seek treatment to reduce their visibility and feel better about their overall appearance.
Treatment options today can enable patients to achieve both cosmetic and health related goals, typically offering lasting results. Dr. Sinnathamby will perform a thorough exam to determine the health of a patient’s veins and discuss their cosmetic goals with them before recommending treatment.
For patients seeking spider vein treatment, Dr. Sinnathamby is one of a few area physicians offering the Vein Gogh procedure. Using high frequency bursts of electrical energy, the Vein Gogh procedure collapses the vessel wall without affecting the skin surface, leaving no scarring and little to no down time. Vein Gogh is also safe and effective for treating facial veins.
Vein Gogh has been a revolutionary tool in the treatment of spider veins, offering consistent results superior to traditional methods that are more appropriate for varicose veins. For patients with telangiectasia of the face, nose or extremities, Vein Gogh can help them achieve their cosmetic goals and reduce or eliminate the visibility of tiny veins and blood vessels.
