Spider veins are not a physically painful problem however they can cause extreme emotional difficulty for those who suffer from it‘s effects. Facial spider veins are not caused by any venous pressure and are assumed to occur due to the aging process and exposure to the sun. The only solution offered by medical professionals until recently was camouflage creams which do not treat, but instead mask the problem. Now there are two solutions, both quite similar. A simple hand held device releases an intense pulse of light, the heat produced heats the blood until it breaks down the wall of the vein. The blood is dispersed around the area evenly and the remaining vein is gradually absorbed into the body. Over the course of 2-3 treatments spaced out over 6 weeks the veins collapse entirely and leave the skin free of the marks. Most people need 2-3 sessions however this varies with particularly dark veins.
Thread vein treatment varies slightly in that before a doctor will carry out a procedure they will generally send for a venous duplex ultrasound. This is to make sure that there is no underlying leg pump failure beneath the thread veins. Thread veins are not to be confused with varicose veins which are entirely different. Varicose veins are far more serious and mean there is are signs of leg pump failure.
On the whole patients cope well with the pain of laser removal, the discomfort doesn’t last long and local anaesthetic creams can be used prior to the procedure. The procedure is permanent after 2-3 sessions on the area treated. However, if an individual has the pre-disposition to suffer from thread veins they may appear on different sites or areas of the skin.
After 8 weeks the vein will have completely absorbed into the body and you see the final result.

By: Dee | 01-10-2008
Hello, My daughter age 15 just got her braces removed last week. Her orthodontist said that on the next monthly visit, she would get a molding done on her teeth and on the next monthly visit after that, she would get her retainer. Is this normal-to wait 2 months to get a retainer after braces are removed? Also, she says that her teeth feel rough and she now has scratches on her teeth from the grinder tool that was used to remove the brackets. Is this permanent?

V urgent - need your advise
By: Deepti | 09-09-2008
Hi ! I was diagnosed with Gall Bladder stones (I had pain attack once otherwise had no issues and this attack happened immediately I delivered my baby) and had undergone Laparoscopy & gall bladder was removed. Before Laproscopy MRI scan was done to see bile duct and no evidence of bile duct stones was found. Hence Endoscopy was not done. After which I had no complaints of pain or anything. But still Liver function test shows slight elevated Billurubin, SGOT & SGPT. ALP has gone back within range. Does that mean CBD might have some slidge which is not visible in MRI scan and I should undergo Endoscopy? Is Endoscopy must? Because my doctor is suggesting Endoscopy to flush outthe slug if thereis any in the CBD & after that LFT will be normal he believes. I have gone through c-section for my baby then immediately Laproscopy and again Endoscopy. I?m scred to go for Endoscopy. Please suggest the possible reasons for Billurubin & enzymes still high & should I really got for Endoscopy ? Your early response will be highly appreciated. Regards Deepshikha Chakraborty

To keep our gut safe from dangerous bacteria, viruses, parasites and yeast, we have helper, or friendly, bacteria in our gut. The functions of these friendly bacteria are to aid in the digestion of food and provide us with some nutrients.
