Varicose Veins Varicose veins are a common condition affecting every second person between the ages of 30-60 years. It affects about 20% of men and 30% women. The major risk factors include age, family history, occupation, pregnancy and female gender. People who stand for long periods of time viz., salesmen, postmen, surgeons, housewives, policemen are vulnerable to develop varicose veins. There is a misconception that varicose veins is a cosmetic condition but the major symptoms include aching pain, easy leg fatigability, leg heaviness and swelling. Sitting down and elevating the legs usually relieves these symptoms. Varicose veins are a symptom of venous insufficiency with pooling of blood in the veins. Normally, the stop valves in the vein lose to keep blood from flowing downwards with gravity. When the valves in the vein become weak and close improperly, they allow blood to flow backwards or reflux. Varicose veins are prominent veins that have lost their valve effectiveness and as a result, dilate under pressure, become elongated, ropelike and tortuous structures in the leg. A common cause of varicose veins is the reflux in the greater saphenous vein in the thigh and leg with pooling of blood. By the age of 55 years many of us will be afflicted with painful and unsightly varicose veins. If left untreated, varicose veins can often lead to serious complications viz., swelling of the leg, leg ulcers, discoloration of the skin around the ankle and sometimes bleeding and potentially life threatening blood clots. Many continue to suffer from this condition instead of undergoing the painful surgery to remove these defective veins. Excess Facial Hair Treatment Excess unwanted hair in women and girls in face or other parts of the body is called hirsuitism. There is no fixed amount of hair that is needed for diagnosis; it is the sensitivity of the individual. If you think you are not happy with the facial or body hair, then it is excess and is called hirsuitism. The laser hair removal system is a work using the principal of selective photothermolysis, in which a carefully timed pulse of laser energy passes through the skin and is absorbed and converted to heat energy at the hair follicle. Abnormal vascular skin lesions, or birthmarks, are treated with a pulsed dye laser which produces a beam of yellow light that passes harmlessly through the translucent layers of the skin and specifically heats the red blood vessels causing the lesion. Because the beam is emitted in short pulses, the heat produced in the blood diffuses without damaging the surrounding tissue. After the heated blood congeals, the vessels atrophy. Thus, the laser removes or dramatically fades the marks with virtually no scarring.
