A new treatment for facial redness and spider veins and the most complex word you’ll pronounce today.

Clear skin really IS possible with advanced techniques that go far beyond department store counters.

Try this word on for size:

Telangiectasia. Pronounce it like this:
Tell Angie “Eck STAYzhuh.”

That seriously complex word is the medical description for a very common problem—small red spider veins typically found on the nose, cheeks and chin.

They usually develop in adults between 18 and 35, get worse, and peak somewhere between age 50 and 60.

What causes these red spider veins to appear? A lot of things.

Factors such as age, gender, pregnancy, prolonged daily sitting or standing, acne rosacea, use of oral contraceptives, environmental damage from the sun, prolonged exposure to cold temperatures, chemotherapy, alcohol use and topical skin treatments have all been linked to the condition. (Prolonged listening to Lady Gaga albums is surprisingly absent from the list, but you can never be too careful.)

Sclerotherapy: What we overheard this morning.

So there we were, hanging out in the Dean cafeteria, enjoying a few JoDeen-approved healthy snacks (and a few that decidedly weren’t) and just happened to stumble into this conversation at the table right behind us. We couldn’t help but lean in a little, but we pretended we weren’t listening.

Dean Dermatologist:
You know, our department does a great job for patients who have a medical need for sclerotherapy. The results we’ve achieved for our patients with varicose veins and spider veins have been remarkable.

Dean Aesthetic Surgery Person:
No question. We’ve seen your work. Quite impressive. In fact, I wanted to talk to you about that. I’ve got an idea. What if we…

Dean Dermatologist:
We were thinking the other day maybe we could offer sclerotherapy to other patients, too. You know, for those who would like to reduce or eliminate varicose veins and spider veins. This would have to be a fee-based thing because it’s not medically necessary. But considering the experience we have with this, well, it just makes sense.

Dean Aesthetic Surgery Person:
Yes. Definitely. The results are…

Dean Dermatologist:
You see, sclerotherapy involves the injection of a sterile solution into the veins, using a very fine, thin needle.

Dean Aesthetic Surgery Person:
Right. I know what it is. But my idea is that…

Dean Dermatologist:
This solution irritates the vein lining and as a result it undergoes a process called fibrosis. Eventually, the vein shrinks and is no longer visible.

Dean Aesthetic Surgery Person:
Sure. Like I said, we’ve seen the results and they’re very impressive. So here’s what I’m thinking…

Dean Dermatologist: Sometimes our patients need several treatments, but that’s normal. And we can inject multiple veins in a single session. The procedure can produce mild discomfort, but it’s usually controlled with Tylenol. Sure, you can’t exercise for the remainder of the day, but normal activities are fine on the very next day. The results can be seen in four to six weeks.

Dean Aesthetic Surgery Person:
Right. Exactly. I was thinking maybe we could…

Dean Dermatologist:
What if we booked some time at your place, say, Thursdays. You’ve got such a nice facility over there. Very relaxing. It’s almost like a spa.

Dean Aesthetic Surgery Person:
Thanks, that’s true. We thought maybe…

Dean Dermatologist:
We’d work with the ASC staff and do very thorough consultations for $60 instead of the $100 the other places charge. And we’d do very accurate estimations of the treatment cost and explain the types of results our patients could reasonably expect. Some places promise miracles, but that’s not our style at all.

Dean Aesthetic Surgery Person:
Right. And then…

Dean Dermatologist:
Oh, and we’d do longer procedure times, too. The results would be better and our patients wouldn’t feel rushed. We’d have your plastic surgeons and our dermatologists cooperating on the whole thing.

Dean Aesthetic Surgery Person:
Exactly. So if…

Dean Dermatologist:
And we’d make the whole sclerotherapy experience just nicer and better than some of those other places…nicer facility, impressive medical credentials and a great staff. And the outcomes! Have I told you about the outcomes?

Dean Aesthetic Surgery Person:
That’s the key to it. It’s really…

Dean Dermatologist:
We’d have interested patients call the Dean Aesthetic Surgery Center at (608) 821-4000 to make an appointment for a sclerotherapy consultation.

Dean Aesthetic Surgery Person:
Perfect. I’m glad we had this discussion.

Is it finally time to do something about those spider veins? For more information about sclerotherapy, or for an initial sclerotherapy consultation at the Dean Aesthetic Surgery Center, simply call (608) 821-4000.
