Spider Vein

Telengiectasias, more commonly called "spider veins", are typically a highly treatable problem. Lasers can be very effective at destroying these excess blood vessels that reside close to the surface of the skin. Perhaps the biggest problem with spider veins is the tendency for them to return if you don't properly protect your skin after you remove them. This is because many spider veins are caused by cumulative sun damage so once you start to get them you will get more unless you wear sunblock everyday and practice good sun avoidance tactics. Call your doctor to set up a consultation and get rid of those unsightly facial veins today!

He is the most experienced cosmetic dermatologist on the US and one of the great minds of medicine. If you have a severe skin condition that requires cosmetic laser surgery he is the one to go to.
