hat are spider veins and what are their causes?

Dr. Salama: Spider veins are extensions of tiny skin veins that become visible as reticular lines on the skin and resemble bristles of a brushwood broom. They develop when the connective tissue of the vein wall swells and the blood backs up or sags in the leg veins.

What are the current trends in the treatment of spider veins?

Dr. Salama: At LBCL Surgery & Vein Practice, an innovative combination treatment is used to treat spider veins and other vein problems in the body and legs. This therapy uses a combination of intensive laser therapy and injectable sclerotherapy, using a special optically magnifying system and skin cooling.

What is the technique behind it?

Dr. Salama: The laser acts on the wall of the wall of the vein or vein and, without damaging the skin, causes selective photothermolysis, which is based on the special way light systems work for treatments. Photothermolysis (= converting light (photo-) into heat (-thermo-) (-lysis)) makes use of the property of pigments (color soﬀes). The selective heat action reduces the diameter of the venous capillary. After a few seconds, a sclerosing agent is injected into the venous vessel. Special cooling equipment is used throughout the treatment. The use of a special magnification and vein scanning system allows the physician to clearly see even the smallest veins, nourishing capillaries and blood vessels on the surface of the skinﬂäche. The system scans the image of the vein network thanks to special infrared sensors, magnifies it and projects the pattern of blood vessels onto the skin surface (augmented reality). This allows very precise treatment and elimination of problems, which is important for success and long-term results!

It all sounds painful, doesn't it?

Dr. Salama: Through the use of a specially developed cream with three different active stoﬀes that provides long-lasting local anesthesia, the combination treatment can be performed almost painlessly. The local anesthetic effect is very effective during the entire treatment period. In addition, a stream of cold air in the treatment area significantly reduces any discomfort.

What are the results of the combination treatment?

Dr. Salama: In most cases, the veins disappear veins disappear in 4 to 6 weeks after treatment. Some of them disappear immediately. Sometimes it can take two months to achieve full treatment results. The results of the combination procedure are better than with traditional sclerotherapy or laser treatment alone. The combination of the types of treatment of varicose veins leads to the alternate amplification of the effects.

Do you need any special findings before treatment?

Dr. Salama: Before treatment, LBCL Surgery & Vein Practice takes a complete medical history and examines the veins in detail. The functioning of the deep leg veins and the condition of the venous valves and leg veins are assessed to recommend the most appropriate treatment. Our experience has shown that patients' expectations rise as soon as good hemodynamics in the legs are achieved and an attractive visual result is obtained. Our patients have high expectations and deserve the best! Therefore, the three-phase treatment offers an optimal model to achieve the desired optical effect. The three-phase structure allows us to build a stable image that even exceeds the wishes and expectations of our patients and consequently contributes to their satisfaction.
