Veins on Maui – Maui Weekly

Aloha Dermatology

September 17 — 23 2009

Do you have unsightly leg veins that prevent you from wearing a skirt? Too hot to wear pants, but embarrassed to wear shorts? Do you have achy, throbbing, swollen and cramping legs? Do you have leg ulcers? You may have undiagnosed varicose vein. An estimated 25 million people in the United States suffer from varicose veins. Today, thanks to modern technology, there is an alternative treatment option to traditional surgical vein stripping.

Kahului Maui Dermatologist Mr. Micki Ly reports that she and her clients have embraced this exciting and effective new treatment that includes stat-of-the-art closure technology—and the results are superior. The patented technology uses a very small catheter and radio frequency energy to close down the ugly vein with only a small nick in the skin on the leg under local anesthesia. Clients enjoy quick and effortless relief of their varicose vein symptoms, without the associated drawbacks of vein stripping (an invasive surgical procedure) general anesthesia, post-operative pain, bruising and prolonged recovery.
