Cosmetic Dermatology

Sclerotherapy is a trusted, minimally invasive procedure for reducing the appearance of spider and varicose veins. Whether you’re looking to address visible veins for cosmetic reasons or to relieve discomfort, sclerotherapy is a safe and effective treatment that restores confidence in your skin. By injecting a specialized solution directly into the targeted veins, sclerotherapy allows them to collapse and gradually fade, leaving skin smoother, clearer, and vein-free.

What is Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy involves injecting a safe sclerosing solution into affected veins, causing them to close and eventually disappear as the body naturally reabsorbs them. This treatment is highly effective for small to medium-sized veins, such as spider veins and smaller varicose veins, and is commonly used on the legs, ankles, and face. Over time, treated veins diminish, restoring a more even skin tone and improved appearance.

Benefits of Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy offers a range of benefits for those looking to reduce unwanted veins, including:

• Noticeable results: Treated veins begin to fade within weeks, with full results typically visible after 1-2 treatments.
• Minimally invasive: Sclerotherapy is a straightforward, quick procedure with minimal discomfort, requiring no surgical intervention.
• Long-lasting results: Once treated, veins typically do not reappear, though new veins can form over time and may require follow-up treatment.
• Improved skin appearance: Sclerotherapy is an excellent choice for patients looking to restore smooth, even-toned skin on the legs and other areas.
• Relief from symptoms: For patients experiencing discomfort, aching, or heaviness due to varicose veins, sclerotherapy can provide significant relief.

What to Expect During and After Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is performed in-office and usually takes about 30 minutes, depending on the number of veins being treated. Patients can expect minor stinging or cramping during the injection process, but any discomfort is generally minimal. After the treatment, compression stockings may be recommended to support circulation and optimize results. Most patients can resume normal activities right away, with minimal restrictions.

Is Sclerotherapy Right for You?

Sclerotherapy is ideal for patients who are in good health and have realistic expectations. It is best suited for small to medium-sized veins and for those seeking a non-surgical solution. During your consultation, our skilled provider will assess your vein condition and determine if sclerotherapy is the most appropriate treatment option.

Daxxify® is an advanced, FDA-approved neuromodulator designed to effectively reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles while providing longer-lasting results than traditional wrinkle relaxers. Known for its innovative peptide-based formula, Daxxify can help achieve a smoother, more youthful look that endures for up to six months or longer, making it a revolutionary choice for patients seeking an extended wrinkle-relaxing solution.

How Daxxify Works

Daxxify uses a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, enhanced by a proprietary peptide that helps extend the treatment’s longevity. This unique formulation allows Daxxify to work by targeting specific facial muscles that contribute to expression lines, softening areas like frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead creases. By relaxing these muscles, Daxxify smooths the skin, reducing wrinkles without overly restricting natural facial expressions.

Benefits of Daxxify

Daxxify offers a number of advantages for patients seeking a long-lasting approach to wrinkle reduction, including:

• Extended results: Unlike traditional neuromodulators, Daxxify’s effects can last up to six months or longer, allowing for fewer treatment appointments each year.

Dysport® is a highly effective, FDA-approved neuromodulator treatment that softens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Known for delivering a smooth, natural look, Dysport helps to relax specific facial muscles responsible for expression lines, allowing your skin to appear more youthful without compromising your natural expressions.

How Dysport Works

Dysport contains botulinum toxin type A, a refined protein that temporarily reduces muscle activity in targeted areas of the face. This helps to soften dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), crow’s feet, and forehead lines. The injection process is quick, typically taking just a few minutes, and most patients notice an improvement within a few days.

Unlike some wrinkle treatments, Dysport’s unique formulation provides a more spreadable effect, which is particularly beneficial for patients with broader treatment areas or those seeking a more blended, natural finish. Results typically last 3 to 4 months, making it an effective, long-lasting solution to maintain a refreshed appearance.

Benefits of Dysport

Dysport offers a range of benefits for patients seeking wrinkle reduction, including:

• Fast-acting results: Noticeable improvement in frown lines and wrinkles can be seen as early as 2-3 days after treatment.
• Natural movement: Dysport is designed to soften wrinkles without overly restricting muscle movement, so your facial expressions remain natural.
• Long-lasting results: With effects lasting up to 4 months, Dysport helps you maintain a youthful, rested look with minimal maintenance.
• Preventive treatment: Dysport can also be used as a preventive measure for those looking to delay the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.

Who Can Benefit from Dysport?

Dysport is ideal for adults looking to minimize moderate to severe wrinkles, especially around the forehead, brow, and eye area. It’s suitable for both first-time patients interested in a non-surgical solution to signs of aging and for those looking to maintain or enhance previous treatments. Our skilled professionals provide a personalized approach to ensure results are tailored to your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals.

About Botox

What is it?

Botox is an extremely popular wrinkle treatment that’s ideal for dynamic wrinkles (wrinkles that form over time from repeated movements, such as smiling or frowning). Derived from Botulinum toxin, Botox is injected through a very fine needle into a muscle underlying a bothersome wrinkle. This process blocks the nerve impulses that move the muscle, causing it to relax. The result is a smoother wrinkle and a softer-looking appearance. Since only the targeted muscle is affected, surrounding muscles continue to move freely, allowing your facial expressions to be easily shown and avoiding the dreaded “frozen face” look when performed by an experienced dermatologist. Botox is ideal for the upper half of the face, including the areas around the eyes, the upper nose, forehead, cheeks, and jaw.

What to expect

A single Botox injection session often lasts under an hour and is virtually painless. You may feel a tingling sensation during the process, but there is no downtime; you can go about your daily routine afterward. Side effects are typically mild and typically include tenderness at the injection site, muscle stiffness or weakness, bruising, itchiness, and swelling.

After the procedure

Within a week after your Botox injections, you should start to notice results, although this can vary from patient to patient. Over the following 3-4 months, the targeted wrinkles gradually vanish, and touch-up injections are suggested every 6 months in order to maintain the rejuvenating effects of the treatment.

About Kybella

What is it?

If you’re like many people, you may think that a double chin only affects overweight people and that it can be eliminated with conventional fat loss methods. However, a double chin can develop even if you are in good shape and keep an ideal weight. Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable designed specifically to destroy fat cells in a saggy chin. It consists of synthetic deoxycholic acid, which naturally and easily breaks down and absorbs fat. It’s a minimally-invasive way to eliminate a double chin that does not disappear due to exercise, diet, or regular fat-loss methods.

What to expect

The experts have the experience to administer Kybella treatments that reduce a double chin. One treatment session with our skillful practitioners takes a half hour and depending on your aesthetic goals, you may need one session every 4-6 weeks for about 6 months. Another benefit of Kybella is that the destroyed fat cells will no longer store or accrue fat; it’s a permanent solution that other options cannot duplicate.

After the procedure

The full results of Kybella will be visible within 2-3 weeks after your injections, but results can vary. Downtime is minimal, although you should take it easy for 24-48 hours, and side effects such as swelling, redness, tenderness, and bruising are usually mild and subside in 5-7 days.

VariLite Laser Treatment for Unwanted Facial Veins

For many patients with facial veins, treatments are sought to reduce their appearance quickly and easily. Facial veins may be visible through the skin resulting in red lines and blotching appearance. VariLite laser is a precisely controlled laser, which specifically targets the red color of the veins, which avoids injury to normal skin. This laser offers clinical versatility, allowing Dr. Glenn Goldberg of Coast Dermatology and Laser Surgery Center in Laguna Beach, CA to treat a variety of vascular lesions.

It treats vessels without bruising that typically accompanies other laser treatments. Through this procedure, the laser absorbs targeted lesions or blood vessels. The unwanted blood vessels are subsequently reabsorbed by the body during healing.

Many conditions are treated with the VariLite Laser including:

• Facial Telangiectasia
• Cherry Angiomas
• Spider Angiomas
• Scar Neovascularization
• Rosacea
• Spider Veins

Dr. Goldberg will use a pen-like hand piece to direct a beam of laser light to the veins. Pain and post-laser care is minimal after the treatment. The healthy skin cells are not affected during the process, allowing for only the unwanted cells to be targeted. Normal activities can be immediately resumed with this no down time procedure.

Sclerotherapy Treatments for Leg Veins

Many individuals with spider or enlarged veins complain not only of their appearance, but also about the pain that can be associated from these vein conditions. Sclerotherapy is the most popular treatment optimized for spider and varicose veins on the legs. Through this procedure, small doses of a prescription solution are injected directly into the unwanted vein with a very fine needle. The solution irritates the vein causing it to stick together which seals off the vein. Over a period of weeks, the treated vein fades as the body absorbs it.

A treatment session generally lasts 20 to 30 minutes. Dr. Glenn Goldberg can treat numerous veins in one session at our Orange County office. Some veins may require more than one treatment, but these additional sclerotherapy treatments are usually spaced 6 weeks apart. Following treatments, exercise is often limited for a few days, but sclerotherapy is an otherwise no downtime procedure.
