Bayside Cosmetic Medicine and Laser

A sclerosant is injected through a very fine needle, causing the vien to close off permanently.

There is no surgery, no scars and no time off work is necessary. Treatment is less expensive than surgery and often covered by medical insurance.

Each treatment takes 30 minutes, after which compression hosiery is worn for four days to two weeks depending on the size of veins trated.

There are very few restrictions to lifestyle after treatment and walking is actively encouraged.

Some large varicose veins may require surgery; this is determined by a Doppler ultrasound test at the initial consultation.
