Four Reasons why NOW is the best time to do vein treatmenT
Have you noticed tiny veins starting to spread across one or both of your legs? And have some of them become larger and more painful over time? With cold weather approaching, now is a great time to get them taken care of.
1. Winter
If you choose to do a vein treatment, now is the best time! Winter makes recovery easier for several reasons.” The cold temperatures are soothing to veins to help decrease swelling. You generally will be engaging in less physical activity, so you will have time to rest and heal. If there is a need for compression stockings they will be easier to hide and can help keep you warm during the winter cold.” said Kathe Malinowski, lead esthetician and marketing manager for Eterna MedSpa & Laser Vein Cener.
2. Less Sun
Since the weather is colder, treated areas are less likely to be exposed to the sun. Sun exposure should be avoided after treatment for at least a couple of weeks due to potential skin discoloration. “The sooner you have treatment, the more time your body will have to recover and get your legs looking great for summer,” Malinowski said.
3. Utilize your insurance
Almost all insurances are accepted at Eterna Med Spa. Scheduling a year-end surgery may help you to avoid paying a deductible in the new year, which was already met this year.
There are several effective options for combating the condition, including endovenous laser treatment, sclerotherapy, and microphlebectomy. They can be done in-office under local anesthesia.
“Sclerotherapy is usually cosmetic but if it is done to clean up spider veins after an endovenous vein treatment it will be covered under the insurance,” Malinowski said.
4. Age doesn’t matter
Varicose veins are equal opportunity offenders.
“If you are unlucky and you inherited the condition it can affect you as young as in your mid-20s,” Malinowski said.
Additionally, varicose veins can be brought on by pregnancy, standing for prolonged periods of time, and wearing high heels daily.
But don’t think the condition is limited to women.
“We have treated several men here at Eterna for the condition,” Malinowski said.
