SPIDER VEIN & VARICOSE VEIN TREATMENT IN CINCINNATI

At Anderson Cosmetic and Vein Institute, we offer  Cincinnati's most comprehensive vein treatment, from expert sclerotherapy to CoolTouch CTEV®, for care of the mildest case of spider veins to the most severe varicose veins. We frequently treat physicians, physicians' wives, and our patients travel from California, New York, and Israel, Brazil and Europe. Let the experts at Anderson Cosmetic and Vein Institute assist you with your vein problems.

Spider Vein Treatment

Spider veins, which can look like fine red lines or dark purple splotches, are effectively and safely treated with sclerotherapy, as are flat greenish or bluish veins. Both small and larger bulging varicose veins can be effectively treated in the same manner to avoid surgical removal.

Laser-type treatment of fine or small spider veins is available with MultiLight intense pulsed light, should we decide that this would provide a faster or better result.

Varicose Vein Treatment

Varicose vein treatment is in affiliation with Varicose Vein Centers of Greater Cincinnati, which is comprised of some of Cincinnati's most respected vascular and general surgeons and physicians. We offer the most progressive and comprehensive non-surgical treatment of varicose veins in Cincinnati.

COOLTOUCH CTEV®

Treatment of saphenous vein insufficiency, which can contribute to the formation of surface varicose veins, is accomplished with the CoolTouch CTEV® by Varicose Vein Centers of Greater Cincinnati.

We offer a complimentary consultation to evaluate your vein problem or concern, decide if additional testing is indicated, and recommend a treatment plan. In some cases, we can begin treatment that same day. During your consultation, you will view a DVD which explains the treatment process. You will receive a  written treatment proposal which includes pricing and expected number of treatments. We also perform ultrasound testing in our office when indicated, to eliminate the need for a trip to the hospital.

Karen Miller Whitney, PA-C, has devoted the last ten years to the practice of Phlebology, which is the medical specialty of vein treatment. As a member of the American College of Phlebology, she is one of the most experienced sclerotherapists in Cincinnati and has treated over 500,000 veins.

This method of vein treatment involves injecting the vein with an irritating solution to damage the vein, so it collapses. The needle used is very tiny so discomfort is minimal, although most patients feel a temporary stinging. Compression hose are worn after each treatment, and there will be small bruises afterwards. You are able to return to normal activities immediately. The number of treatments required depends on the severity of your veins.
