Combination of Leg Vein Treatments
Leg Vein Treatments with 2 or More Procedures
It is not unusual for patients to undergo different types of leg vein treatments. Many have leg pain and heaviness caused by venous reflux, and have a network of spider veins, and some branch varicosities.
As a consequence, no single treatment can be effective for alleviating the symptoms caused by venous reflux and yield the cosmetic improvement of legs desired by patients.
Accordingly, after a varicose vein treatment, either with EVLT or Venefit, and after waiting for a month or two to see the final improvement of the appearance of the legs, Dr. Dishakjian has to resort to other methods such as foam sclerotherapy for branch varicosities, or a few sessions of sclerotherapy for reticular veins (blue veins) and spider veins.
The photos listed on this page show the final results achieved by patients who have undergone two or more types of treatments.
