Reclaim Your Beautiful Skin
Spider veins and varicose veins can be problematic, unsightly, and uncomfortable in many cases. These conditions may be caused by a number of factors, including lifestyle, hormonal changes, and pregnancy. There also may be a genetic predisposition that could make a person more prone to spider or varicose veins. Spider veins, also known as telangiectasias, are small, dilated blood vessels that appear close to the surface of the skin, creating a web-like or branching pattern. These veins are typically red, blue, or purple in color and are commonly found on the legs, face, and other areas of the body. Spider veins are a milder form of venous insufficiency, a condition that occurs when the valves within the veins weaken or malfunction, causing blood to pool and the veins to enlarge. Though they are usually harmless and do not pose significant health risks, spider veins can be unsightly and may cause mild discomfort, such as itching or burning sensations.
Confidence in Every Step
Spider vein reduction offers numerous benefits that make it a popular choice among individuals seeking treatment for spider and varicose veins.
One of the primary reasons people love this treatment is the reduction in pain and discomfort caused by varicose veins. Skilled doctors target problem veins, eliminating them permanently to provide lasting relief. Additionally, spider vein treatment effectively reduces swelling associated with faulty veins. The swelling often extends to the surrounding tissue and can be noticeable and even painful. By addressing this issue, the treatment enhances the appearance of the legs, leading to increased confidence and the freedom to wear clothing without covering up. The removal of discolored veins restores the smooth, natural appearance of the skin.

How Laser Vein Therapy Works
Lasers have improved a number of the tasks we perform in medicine today, and our treatments are all performed with brand-new lasers.
Treating veins with laser therapy is minimally invasive and effective at achieving successful results. Treatment consists of directing laser energy at the problematic vein or veins. When thermal energy is absorbed into the vessels, they break apart. Subsequently, they can be absorbed by the body. Laser vein therapy spider vein treatment is efficient and only mildly uncomfortable, if at all. To treat a vein or veins completely takes a few treatment sessions, which we schedule every few weeks. Over time, the treated veins become less and less noticeable until they have disappeared completely. Over time, the treated veins become less and less noticeable until they have disappeared completely. After laser therapy, the treated veins will not return. It is possible, however, for new problem veins to develop in another area. Our aesthetic professionals offer an experienced hand at laser vein therapy Franklin guests will love.
Beautiful Legs, Beautiful You
Both treatments effectively eliminate those pesky spider veins, leaving your skin beautifully smooth. Many patients face a combination of both spider veins and varicose veins, and as a result, a combination of treatments may be recommended to address their unique needs. The decision on which treatment to opt for often hinges on the location of the veins.
Sclerotherapy is particularly effective for larger varicose veins, especially those present on the legs, while laser therapy is better suited for treating thinner veins found in other areas of the body. In certain cases, a combination approach may be necessary to achieve the best possible results. To find the most effective and comfortable treatment for your specific condition, it’s crucial to have a discussion with one of our aesthetic providers.
Sclerotherapy
Laser Vein Treatment
Laser vein treatment may not be the ideal solution for every person. Dr. Bengelsdorf also performs sclerotherapy, one of the longest-standing treatments for unwanted veins. Sclerotherapy involves treating veins individually with a solution that leads to their closure. After injections using a very fine needle, the sclerosing medication causes irritation to the walls of problematic veins.
Over the course of several weeks, veins close up, and the blood attempting to move through them is redirected naturally. When you receive any cosmetic procedure, you gain peace of mind in knowing that your physician or surgeon has an extensive background in this type of care. With Dr. Bengelsdorf, you have all of these qualifications and more. A Fellow of both the College of Surgeons and the American Society of Laser Medicine and Surgery, Dr. Bengelsdorf graduated magna cum laude from the highly regarded Boston University Six-Year Medical Program and has earned the Physician’s Recognition Award.
He is a member of several medical organizations and has practiced for over 15 years. His specialty is in dermatologic and cosmetic surgery, with a focus on minimally invasive procedures. When you make the decision to seek any type of vein treatment Franklin patients can feel confident knowing that Dr. Bengelsdorf will be able to take you step by step through the treatment process, ensuring your comfort and well-being.
While spider veins are primarily considered a cosmetic issue, they can sometimes be a symptom of an underlying venous insufficiency. If left untreated, venous insufficiency may lead to more severe complications, such as blood clots or venous ulcers. It is essential to have a qualified healthcare professional assess your condition to determine if further evaluation or treatment is necessary.
Both laser therapy and sclerotherapy are generally well-tolerated by patients and involve minimal discomfort. Some individuals may experience mild stinging or cramping during the procedure, but this is usually brief and manageable. Your healthcare provider can use various techniques to make the experience more comfortable.
Several factors contribute to the development of spider veins, including genetics, hormonal changes (such as during pregnancy or menopause), prolonged standing or sitting, obesity, and aging. They are more prevalent in women than men and become increasingly common with age. While spider veins do not typically require medical intervention, many individuals seek treatment for cosmetic reasons or to alleviate any associated symptoms. Treatments like sclerotherapy and laser therapy are commonly used to reduce or eliminate spider veins, providing improved skin appearance and enhancing self-confidence.
The timeline for results can vary depending on the extent of the spider veins and the treatment method used. In many cases, you may start to notice improvements within a few weeks after the procedure. However, it may take several months for the treated veins to fade completely.
While the treated spider veins will not return, new spider veins may develop over time due to various factors such as genetics, lifestyle, and hormonal changes. To minimize the risk of new spider veins, follow a healthy lifestyle and take preventive measures as advised by your healthcare provider.
In many cases, spider vein treatment is considered a cosmetic procedure and may not be covered by insurance. However, some insurance plans may offer coverage if spider veins are causing significant symptoms or are associated with an underlying medical condition. It is best to check with your insurance provider to understand your specific coverage and potential out-of-pocket costs.
Spider vein treatment is generally not recommended during pregnancy, as hormonal changes and increased blood volume can exacerbate vein issues. However, pregnant women need to discuss any concerns about spider veins with their healthcare provider, as they can provide guidance and recommend appropriate measures to manage symptoms during pregnancy.
After spider vein treatment, your healthcare provider will likely provide you with specific post-procedure care instructions. These may include wearing compression stockings, avoiding strenuous activities for a certain period, and protecting the treated area from sun exposure. Adhering to these guidelines can aid in the healing process and optimize the treatment results.
