Our grandson came to visit us recently. I was holding his hand and helping him step into the pool when he asked, "Gram, what are those blue worms on your legs?" My quick reply was "old age." I'm too young to have "old legs." Can you help?
Dr. Comstock Responds: What your grandson calls blue worms (or crayon marks or spider veins) are varicose veins. First, have your legs assessed with an ultrasound exam to make sure the underlying veins are healthy. If the veins show reflux, a medical procedure called VNUS Closure® can be done in our office and is covered by most insurance. This new procedure can replace stripping the veins and a hospital visit. The remaining veins can be treated by injection of sclerosing solution.
What can I expect after an excel V treatment?
The results and recovery period will depend on the laser mode used in your treatment.
One of the excel V's most popular modes is the Laser Genesis. Our Tucson patients who can't afford to endure a lengthy recovery period undergo a series of Laser Genesis treatments to gradually reverse signs of premature aging. The Laser Genesis treatment combats sun damage, redness, and uneven texture in a subtle way, so your renewed radiance looks natural. Another laser rejuvenation option that involves little downtime is Clear + Brilliant®.
What can I expect after Laser Genesis treatment?
Because Laser Genesis is a gentle procedure and doesn't require downtime, you might not notice much change after your first treatment. An attractive feature of the treatments is their incremental nature, so there's no bruising or other obvious sign of your procedure. Seen from start to finish, however, the results can be dramatic.
By gently stimulating collagen growth, the benefits of each Laser Genesis treatment continue for months after your final session.
