Spider Vein

Office Image

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!

Average Waiting Time
I have had age spots for as long as I can remember. One visit to Dr. Shamban's office and my skin never looked so good, so smooth and naturally beautiful. I have returned for the Thermage, which tightens my skin, botox that I will never live without now. No more wrinkles on my forhead. I feel refreshed and rested looking all the time. Thank you so very much, Tracy
