My first visit, I went in to have a few different spots looked at their removed them to test while I was the office. Made it very convenient, not to have to schedule another appointment for the biopsy. I received multiple phone calls to schedule my six week follow up, which was today. Everything was handled during biopsy. I would recommend this place to anyone.

As a farmer, I'm outside exposed to the sun. My family has a history of skin cancer. I have been seeing Jennifer for many years and extremely pleased with her knowledge and honesty.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!
AMAZING! The staff was welcoming and pleasant. Since 2019, numerous doctors prescribed various treatments that never worked. Dr. Swofford not only listened, she made me feel that I was in the right place. In one day, she resolved an ailment that has plagued me since 2019. Great music selection as well (80s)!!!! 😊

What Is Sclerotherapy? (Varicose Vein & Spider Vein Treatment)     

Varicose and spider veins are common problems associated with leg swelling, a heavy feeling in the legs, and discomfort. In addition to being painful, these veins can also affect your self-image. Some people may wear clothing that covers their legs or avoid certain activities (like going to the beach) because they feel self-conscious.

Sclerotherapy is an effective treatment that helps reduce the appearance of spider and varicose veins or even eliminate them.

Sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution into varicose or spider veins. This solution causes the problematic veins to close and fades the appearance of spider/varicose veins. In 60-80% of people, their veins may disappear entirely.

What Can You Expect?

We will thoroughly examine your nose and blood vessels for the best treatment. All of our treatments are tailored to each patient’s individual needs. Numbing is achieved through the use of ice, a topical numbing cream, or an injection, depending on the size and depth of the blood vessel. Then, the blood vessel is treated. After treatment, the blood vessels can become more prominent for 48-72 hours, and then gradually, the appearance of the blood vessels is reduced over the next 7-10 days. Typically, it takes 1-2 treatments to see a significant improvement, with larger blood vessels taking between 2-4 treatments.

What Can You Expect?

Before any procedure, you will have a consultation with our expert cosmetic dermatologists. The physician will listen to you, perform a thorough evaluation, and provide an individualized treatment plan to address your needs and concerns.

The doctor will inject a solution into your veins using a fine needle during the procedure. The number of injections you will receive depends on the size and number of areas to be treated.

After the procedure, you must wear compression stockings and avoid strenuous activity for approximately two weeks. However, regular activity, such as walking, is encouraged and will help with your healing.

After 3-6 weeks, you will return for a follow-up appointment to assess your healing and whether additional sclerotherapy treatments are needed.

Is Sclerotherapy Safe?

All procedures carry some risk. However, complications from sclerotherapy are uncommon when performed by board-certified cosmetic dermatologists. The most common side effects are swelling, warmth, or discomfort at the injection site.

Sclerotherapy is not safe for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Patients who have had blood clots may be candidates for sclerotherapy but will require a careful medical evaluation to ensure the treatment is safe for you.

How to get rid of blood vessels on your nose?

Enlarged blood vessels on the side of the nose or nasal ala are very common. They typically develop in our 30s and 40s and become more prominent. Different treatment options are available, including laser, electrosurgery, and sclerotherapy. Electrosurgery typically works well for enlarged nasal vessels.
