Cosmetic Surgery Varicose Vein Removal
Serving Albuquerque & Santa Fe, New Mexico
Enlarged
veins are called spider or varicose veins. Spider veins are small
red, blue or purple veins on the surface of the skin, while varicose
veins are larger distended veins that are located somewhat deeper
than spider veins. Dr. Hopkins performs TriVex varicose vein removal,
a new technique which incorporates components of both liposuction and arthroscopy. It takes about one fourth of the usual time, is
more complete than standard vein removal, and seems to have a more
rapid recovery.
Laser surgery is another method of treating varicose veins. A laser
is a light source that can reduce or eliminate a vein's appearance
by a thermal or "warming process." The laser treatment may be combined
with another process called sclerotherapy. In some instances the
laser treatment may be the only method chosen to treat varicose
veins.
