WHY SCLEROTHERAPY MIGHT BE RIGHT FOR YOU

Numerous body parts can develop “spider veins,” which some people find unsightly from a cosmetic standpoint. The Best Injector provides sclerotherapy therapies that can reduce unsightly reticular and spider veins on the legs. This post discusses the various reasons why sclerotherapy might be right for you.

What is Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is a cosmetic technique that reduces some reticular, varicose, and spider veins, usually on the legs, ankles, and feet.

The veins are given an injection of a substance that makes them shut down and collapse. The veins will dissolve within a few weeks of the surgery, making sclerotherapy a desirable cosmetic treatment. Blood will automatically be sent to healthy veins in your hands or legs, making it safe and efficient. The role of the varicose veins will be replaced by collateral circulation.

How Long Does the Procedure Take?

The precise length of the procedure depends on the number of varicose veins each patient has. Typically, it takes under an hour. Compared to surgery, sclerotherapy takes far less time.

There is also a shorter recuperation period. You are free to go once you have had the injection, are covered in bandages, and wear compression socks because it is an outpatient operation. 

After sclerotherapy, you should adhere to your doctor’s advice. Typically, they advise you to refrain from vigorous exercise for two weeks while wearing bandages and compression stockings. You are free to carry on with your regular activities other than that.

Does Sclerotherapy Have Side Effects?

Sclerotherapy typically has mild side effects. There may be bruising, raised red sites, minor skin sores, darkened skin lines or spots, and numerous tiny red blood vessels close to the injection site. Any marks left behind within a few weeks of the procedure should disappear. 

Blood clots, inflammation, and an allergic reaction are more uncommon side effects. If any of these symptoms appear, speak to your doctor right away.

Will You Benefit from Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is a treatment option for those who have varicose or spider veins. Your hands or legs will no longer have deep red or purple markings. Sclerotherapy is a relatively easy remedy if the main reason you are concerned about your veins is your appearance. 

You no longer have to wear clothing or makeup to hide your veins. Sclerotherapy also leaves no visible scars afterward, unlike surgery.

Sclerotherapy may also be helpful for people who have varicose veins that cause pain or aching. After the surgery, your pain should disappear because the veins that bother you are removed. Your body will rebalance itself so that blood flow continues without giving you pain, edema, or other unpleasant symptoms.

Here are some benefits of sclerotherapy if you are suffering from unsightly veins.

Pain Relief

Your skin is put under a lot of pressure by varicose veins. They are uncomfortable and frequently painful. The sclerotherapy treatment releases the internal stress that the veins are under and the pressure from bulging that the veins inflict on the surrounding tissues by eliminating the damaged, weak veins.

These dead veins eventually dissolve as your body absorbs them. You experience no more pain or discomfort as your blood is redirected to healthy veins that can withstand the “internal pressure” of the venous blood.

Conveniently Outpatient Care

The fact that this treatment is delivered on an outpatient basis is one of its finest features. Its convenience eliminates the stress over what to bring for an overnight hospital stay.

Each 15 to 30-minute treatment is carried out conveniently in our modern office. Then you can resume whatever you had planned for the rest of the day.

Highly Accessible

Sclerotherapy is highly accessible in two aspects: required downtime and health risks.

Surgery to remove veins may not be appropriate for all patients. Not everyone has enough paid time off to take time off work for recovery. Fortunately, sclerotherapy doesn’t require lengthy downtime; almost everyone can receive this treatment. 

No aftercare is necessary, and no pain or discomfort is experienced during or after treatment.

You should avoid severe heat, blood-thinning drugs, supplements, and strenuous cardiovascular exercise for 72 hours following therapy. To hasten the time it takes to see results, you should wear a compression garment that you have been prescribed. Apart from that, you are free to resume your usual activities.

One of the most crucial aspects of deciding whether you are a good candidate for this treatment is your health, even though the best candidates do not smoke or drink excessively. You are a suitable candidate for this therapy if you are in good general health, including not having an active infection at the treatment site.

To decide if this is the best varicose vein treatment option, we will assess your health, the state of your veins, the size of your veins, and their location during your initial consultation.

Quick Treatment

We are aware of how busy life may be. We are thrilled to provide you with the varicose vein treatments most practical for your needs and way of life. Depending on the size of the varicose or spider veins and how many veins need to be treated during your treatment session, each treatment only takes 15 to 30 minutes.

We will accurately estimate how much time you need to budget for your vein therapy during your initial appointment. You can easily fit your treatment into your hectic schedule.

Safe

Sclerotherapy is a very safe procedure. The U.S. thoroughly examined it. The Food and Drug Administration has established that it is secure and efficient for treating varicose and spider veins.

All that takes place during this procedure is a series of carefully placed injections, not the removal or cutting of skin or tissue.

Improved Leg Appearance

People with varicose veins often lack self-confidence because of how their legs look. Sclerotherapy quickly and safely solves this problem. Rather than having blue, bulging veins putting pressure on your skin, your legs will be smooth and healthy.

Get Ready For The Holidays Now!

The holidays are usually very hectic, but they are also filled with joy, greeting old acquaintances and family members. Of course, we always want to look our best during the holidays, and how awesome would it be to hear, “She has never looked lovelier!”

Now is the time to look incredible with Botox, dermal fillers, microneedling, a refreshing HydraFacial, and chemical peels to give you that holiday glow. At Bella Medspa, we are always ready to help you look beautiful, so why not grab gift cards for friends and family so they can look their best, too?

Ways to Get Ready for the Holidays

Take care of your skin, get the perfect skincare routine ready, and let it work its magic. A free skin consultation with Bella Medspa and a personalized plan will give you plenty of time to work on your skin before the holidays.

Perfect Treatments for the Holidays

Botox and Dermal Fillers

You should start now to get your Botox and dermal filler appointments. These are favorites to look fabulous, but you don’t want to wait until the day before your holiday parties to get them done. Botox takes a few days to work, and fillers take a couple of days for swelling and bruising to disappear. So, make an appointment now for these treatments.

Botox is wonderful for getting rid of those lines between your eyebrows and the crow’s feet around your eyes. Botox won’t make you look plastic; it will only make you look fabulous!

Dermal fillers give your skin fullness and volume. They diminish lines and wrinkles that show signs of aging. Get rid of the scars and plump up your hands and lips. Brighten your eyes and contour your jawline. You will be younger-looking and glowing before the holidays but make your appointment with Bella Medspa now.

Dermaplaning 

Dermaplaning is a minimal and simple procedure for manually exfoliating the outer layer of your dermis (skin). It removes vellus hair (peach fuzz) and dead skin cells that make your skin look dull and tired. Dermaplaning can also help reduce the appearance of acne scars and pitted skin.

Dermaplaning is quick and painless and helps to improve the absorption of products and give your skin a healthy glow. The procedure involves using a surgical-grade micro-blade to remove fine hairs that trap oil and bacteria, making applying makeup problematic. In addition, your dermaplaning specialist will remove dead skin cells and debris, revealing a smooth, radiant you.

Consider dermaplaning if you have skin issues like:

• Dry or dull skin

• Peach or vellus hair (the light, soft hair on your face that can hinder makeup)

• Fine lines and wrinkles

Chemical Peels

A chemical peel might be perfect for you for the holidays. Chemical peels use gentle acid solutions on the skin’s surface to create micro-damage, which causes the skin to peel off, stimulate collagen and elastin, and promote tissue growth.

Peels resurface the outermost layers revealing clearer and healthier skin. Chemical peels can improve the overall quality of your skin and give you that glowing holiday complexion. The results last three to four months, and now is the time to get a chemical peel, so you are ready for holiday parties.

HydraFacial

The perfect holiday facial is the HydraFacial. Get the best skin of your life and impress your guests and family. HydraFacial instantly delivers long-lasting results you can see. Our HydraFacial uses patented technology combined with nourishing ingredients to give you an instant glow.

Bella Medspa offers Platinum HydraFacial, Deluxe HydraFacial, and Signature HydraFacial. Any of these HydaFacials will be great to give you holiday confidence.

When the holidays start, our medspa books up fast, and everyone is in a hurry to get their best look before the holidays. So, secure your appointment, and don’t stress about getting in before your big event!

We can’t wait to see you and get you feeling your best. If you have any questions about the best treatments or where to start, contact us at https://bellamedspa.com, stop by our Clarksville, TN, location, or call us at 931-245-0500.

Common Things People Get Wrong About Laser Tattoo Removal

Tattoos are great and often incredible artwork. However, those wonderful art pieces we found inspiring years ago are now a source of embarrassment or, at the very least – make us irritable. We want them removed. People will tell us that tattoo removal is no big deal and go ahead and get it done. However, some myths need to be dispelled before you head to the med spa or dermatologist to get your tattoo removed.

Usual Things People Get Wrong about Laser Tattoo Removal

Myth #1: Tattoo Removal using a Laser is Quick

Tattoo removal was unsuccessful and painful, done with cutting, scarring, and maybe a surgical procedure with extended downtime. However, laser technology has advanced tattoo removal making the procedure less painful, faster, and more accessible. In addition, specific laser treatments used for tattoo removal can eliminate a wide range of tattoo pigments by breaking down tattoo ink and allowing the natural body process to remove the ink.

Laser tattoo removal has come a long way; however, it is still a process that takes time. How many sessions you will need to clear up your tattoo depends on the tattoo’s age, density and depth, location on the body, colors, and how your body reacts to the laser procedure. Removal is different for every person, and you must be patient.

Laser tattoo removal uses intense energy aimed at different ink particles to break up pigments into small pieces. Green is one of the most challenging tattoo colors to remove, with blues and yellows coming in a close second in difficulty. Black is the simplest color to remove because it absorbs infrared light directly and precisely. The ink heats up quickly and gradually disappears in about six to eight sessions.

Laser treatments work at different depths in the skin to remove different colors. Multiple sessions will be needed to get all the ink. Tattoo artists use permanent ink for their artwork, injected far below the skin’s surface. Removing a tattoo can be more complicated than actually applying the artwork. Removing the ink could take up to ten sessions of laser therapy.

Myth #2 Tattoo Removal using a Laser is Painless

This myth is almost funny. When you got your tattoo done, was it pain-free? Injecting ink into your skin with needles doesn’t sound painless, and it probably wasn’t. Laser tattoo removal is no different. The amount of pain varies depending on where the tattoo is located, how dense the ink is, and the colors in the tattoo. If you have a problem with pain, ask your laser tattoo professional about the steps you can take to ensure pain is manageable.

Older tattoo removal techniques included a celebration technique, a salt-based solution used with a wooden block covered in gauze to scrub away the tattoo. Unfortunately, this not only took away the tattoo but also removed the skin.

Subcutaneous injections use a cleaning-like liquid hydrochloric acid. Injections are placed on and around the artwork. You might not have any color of the tattoo left, but you will have a scar.

Large tattoos need surgery and a skin graft. Your physician takes a piece of skin from somewhere else on your body and fits it over the artwork area. Surgery on a tattoo means actually cutting it out of the skin.

Cryosurgery, or freezing of the skin with liquid nitrogen, has also been used, but this is a rare procedure.

Dermabrasion eventually works, but it is painful, leaving you with a scar.

Many of the painful and questionable techniques have now been eliminated, and lasers are taking over. For example, a laser can remove a tattoo with a frequency matching the ink colors. When the energy strikes the ink particles, the ink absorbs the light energy and disintegrates the color.

Myth #3 It doesn’t Matter What Laser your Professional Uses

At Bella Med Spa, we use the Q-switched ND: Yag laser for tattoo removal. We use multiple wavelengths to concentrate energy onto inks to break them up. Once a laser breaks up a tattoo color, your immune system can remove the ink naturally. Laser treatments take time, but you will have no tattoo ink left and no scarring.

Myth #4 You Don’t Need Aftercare

Post-removal care is as important as the first step when you start with a laser tattoo removal process. You must avoid direct sun exposure, stay hydrated, and keep your removal sight clean and dry. Ask your tattoo removal professional to give you tips you can do to make removal easier and less painful.
