Leg Makeover® Treatment
Indications
Leg Makeover® is indicated for patients with:
- Varicose veins, strokes and telangiectasias (commonly called “strokes”, “vascular spider veins” or “rays”);
- Protruding varicose veins;
- Saphenous vein incompetence;
- Pigmentation spots on the skin.
All cases that can be resolved with minimally invasive techniques and in an outpatient setting can be treated with Leg Makeover®.
Contraindications
In patients with multiple varicose veins, it may not be possible to treat them all at once. In these cases, surgery is performed first, followed by cosmetic treatment.
Patients with weight problems also have limitations.
Obesity itself constitutes a contraindication because it increases recurrence and surgical risks. It's important to control your weight before any type of intervention.
