Sclerotherapy

Many people are affected by sometimes painful, often prominent “spider-veins” on their legs or face, particularly their nose or cheeks.

One of two procedures can be used to eradicate the appearance of veins:

  1. Injection with a solution to “sclerose” or collapse the vein and create scar tissue, which will absorb into the skin; or
  2. Treat the veins with a Cutera CoolGlide laser beam, sealing the vein shut, allowing for natural absorption.

With either procedure, several treatments may be necessary; however, little discomfort and no downtime is incurred by the patient.

 

 
"Dr. Wirtzer is great about taking as much time as necessary to explain and discuss medical procedures. I feel extremely comfortable and confident in his care. I am very pleased with the results of my treatment and highly recommend Mid Valley Dermatology. Both his nursing and administration staff are efficient and professional in attending to patients. In addition, everyone projects a positive attitude about their working environment."
