Orlando Clinic Offers Specialized Treatment for Veins Affecting Millions of Women

Orlando, FL -- December 27, 2001 -- Millions of women suffer with unsightly and embarrassing veins on their hands, breasts, or vulva. Rarely discussed and usually dismissed as merely a cosmetic concern, these pronounced veins often have a negative impact on a womans emotional health and self-esteem. For decades these veins were untreatable, but recent advances in vascular medicine have given sufferers new hope.

Hand veins are normal veins that simply appear prominent. But as we age, the veins on the back of the hands will often appear larger and more visible. This due to the thinning of the overlying skin and surrounding fatty tissue. For women, these bulging veins make them look old or masculine. Visible veins on the breasts and chest can be quite unsightly and are frequently seen after breast augmentation surgery. Bulging veins on the vulva often follow pregnancy.

Hand veins respond well to Sclerotherapy or Microphlebectomy. In Sclerotherapy, which is also the treatment for breast veins and vulvar veins, the unwanted veins are injected with a medication causing the veins to close and be absorbed by the surrounding tissue. With Microphlebectomy, using a local anesthetic, specialized instruments are used to gently remove the veins through tiny skin openings the size of pinholes. Both treatments are performed in a doctors office without any hospitalization. The treatments are well tolerated and patients can drive home immediately. All activity, without limitation, is permitted afterwards.

The Vascular Center of Orlando is one of the few offices in the world that treat hand, breast, and vulvar veins. The Center has been a leader in the advanced treatment of veins since 1978. With over 35 years of combined experience, the Centers Dr. Daniel Thomas, who is certified by the American Board of Sclerotherapy, and Dr. Samuel Martin, a board certified vascular surgeon, and offer free screenings to help patients select the most appropriate treatment for their problem veins.
