Leg vein treatment

Overview

Spider veins and varicose veins are unsightly veins that appear on the surface of the skin, predominately on the legs. They’re a common cosmetic issue that can cause a great deal of embarrassment and insecurity, especially during the summer months. If visible veins are causing you to feel uncomfortable showing off your legs, sclerotherapy may be an excellent option for you.

Generally, leg veins take two common forms; spider veins which are tiny, thin, twisting lines or varicose veins which are larger, swollen, and sometimes painful, veins that are more difficult to treat.

Reduce unsightly leg veins with effective laser or sclerotherapy treatments.

Dr. Schlessinger has been treating leg veins for more than 25 years and has experience with numerous lasers and light (IPL) devices for these treatments. Additionally, Dr. Schlessinger is skilled at sclerotherapy, a cosmetic treatment designed to improve the appearance of your legs by diminishing or completely reversing unsightly spider veins. During the procedure, Dr. Schlessinger will inject the legs with a sclerosant solution that will cause the veins to collapse and be removed over a period of a month or so.

With the help of these treatments, you won’t have to deal with the inconvenience and discomfort that comes with having veins that are overly prominent.

Professional care you can count on

Dr. Schlessinger is a highly-skilled, board-certified dermatologist in Omaha Nebraska. He was trained as a pediatrician prior to being a dermatologist and therefore has the technical skills to get access to small blood vessels (the same technique used for placing IVs into premature infants). His results are often superior to others because of these skills. Our clinic also uses various lasers and other treatments to accomplish even better results than with sclerotherapy alone.

Schedule your consultation

If you would like to get effective treatment for your prominent leg veins, you will first need to schedule a consultation with Dr. Schlessinger. The doctor will examine these veins to determine the extent of the problem and will ask any relevant questions about your health and medical history.
