Spider Veins on the Face

Facial Telangectasias or facial spider veins are a common complaint we see in the office. Patients often ask us how broken blood vessels can be treated and what they are caused from.  Telangectasias are superficial blood vessels that become dilated.  They are often associated with rosacea, but can also be caused from chronic sun exposure, genetics, systemic diseases, medications and in some cases the cause is unknown.                                                                                                                                         

The gold standard for treatment for these broken blood vessels is laser therapy.  Here at FSC, we use the Candela V Beam Laser to treat this condition. Dr. Badia has been using this laser therapy to treat patients for the last eight years.  This laser produces an intense, but gentle burst of light that selectively destroys the blood vessels of your spider veins, without damaging the surrounding tissue. After laser treatment, the surrounding tissue is left intact. Most patients will require more than one treatment to get the most benefit from this therapy, but patients will see improvements with each treatment. Side effects are minimal, but some patients could get bruising from the treatment that generally lasts five days. To minimize the side effect of bruising for patients, Dr. Badia does recommend a supplement called arnica.  You no longer have to live with embarrassing spider veins. Please ask Dr.Badia or any of her staff for more information about this exciting treatment. 

Hope to see you soon.  Don't forget about our Botox and Filler workshop on Dec 4.

Sincerely,

Florida Skin Center

The Start of the Holiday Season

With holidays just around the corner, for many it means meeting with family and friends that we do not get to see very often.  With that being said, this time of year is a great time to “improve” our skin in subtle ways to get a fresh healthy look. A great way to achieve this is with a liquid facelift.

A liquid facelift uses a combination of Botox cosmetic and fillers such as Restylane or Juvaderm to diminish fine lines and to fill and create volume. It is something that can be done over lunch and most importantly the effects are immediate.  Dr. Badia has done advanced training in injecting both Botox and Cosmetic Fillers.  Please visit our before and after section on our website to see actual patients who have had this treatment done and for details on the treatments themselves www.floridaskincenter.com

Isn’t it time you treated yourself to something nice.

Hope to see you soon.
