PhotoDermŪ VL Light Source
PhotoDerm VLŪ light source is the latest technology in the treatment of
"spider" veins and vascular birthmarks. VeinSolutions was the first offrce to
introduce PhotoDerm VLŪ to Central Indiana. The light source is not a laser and
involves no needles or incisions This improved technology is effective in
eliminating problem vascular lesions without damaging the surrounding skin.
PhotoDerm VLŪ may be an appropriate option for treatment of "spider" veins
involving the face, trunk and legs and vascular birthmarks such as hemangiomas
and port-wine stains. PhotoDerm is most effective when treating people with a
"fair" complexion. Successful treatment of facial lesions may be accomplished
with as little as one treatment but may require two to three treatments. Leg
veins usually require multiple treatments. The number of treatments needed to
successfully treat vascular birthmarks varies depending on their size and
density but usually requires multiple treatments. The treatment is tolerated by
most people with minimal discomfort. Mild redness and swelling of the area
treated is expected and usually resolves in six to eight hours. Patient
preparation requires the area being treated be without sun exposure for four
weeks before and after each treatment. Make-up may be applied after facial
redness and swelling has subsided. Prescription-gradient compression hose may
be necessary for 48 hours after treatment of leg veins.

Minimally Invasive Treatment
Minimally invasive vein surgery is the treatment of choice for larger varicose
veins to achieve both the desired cosmetic results and to relieve symptoms such
as aching, swelling and pain caused by leg varicosities. Our vascular surgeons
are experienced and skilled with venous anatomy and strive to constantly update
their surgical expertise. Today's surgical techniques for varicose veins
require minimal incisions and are typically performed on an outpatient basis
with average recovery time of one week or less. Meticulous effort is made to
achieve optimal cosmetic and therapeutic results.
