HAPPY FRIDAY.Y.
WELL, WE ARE HERE AT THE
CENTER FOR VAINE RESTORATION
ONCE AGAIN WITH DR. BARAJAS.
WE ARE TALKING LAKE HEALTH AND
WOMEN AND WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT VAINE DISEASE AGAIN.
GOOD MORNING AND THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR HAVING US HERE.
THANK YOU.
THIS IS ONE OF THOSE TOPICS
SORT OF NEAR AND DEAR TO MY
HEART BECAUSE I HAVE I SAY I
HAVE I STILL DEAL WITH VARICOSE
VEINS FROM TIME TO TIME BUT
EVEN MORE SO WHEN I WAS
PREGNANT.
BUT I THINK YOU WOULD AGREE
WHEN IT COMES TO WOMEN IT'S
DIFFICULT BECAUSE IT CAN MAKE
THEM FEEL EMBARRASSED AND MAYBE
A LITTLE SELF-CONSCIOUS TOO.
CERTAINLY >>.
AND IT'S DEFINITELY A QUALITY
OF LIFE ISSUE FOR WOMEN.
AND WEEK WE HELP WITH THAT.
YOU DO >>.
OK.
LET'S START WITH THE PROCESS.
FIRST OF ALL, WHAT CAUSES THESE
VARICOSE VEINS?
I ALWAYS WONDER THAT WHERE DO
THESE COME FROM AND WHY DOESN'T
THAT GIRL OVER THERE HAVE THEM
LIKE YOU HAVE THEM SO MUCH >>?
SO THERE ARE SEVERAL FACTORS
FOR AMERICA'S MAIN DISEASE AND
WE PROBABLY NEED TO DISTINGUISH
BEING BETWEEN SPIDER VEINS AND
VERTICALS.
YES, PLEASE >>.
SO THE BASIS >> IS BASED ON THE
DIAMETER OF THE VEINS.
SO IF IT'S THREE MILLIMETERS OR
MORE THAT'S VERY CLOSE.
ANYTHING LESS LESS THAN A
MILLIMETER IS CONSIDERED >> A
SPIDER VEIN.
SO I THINK I HAVE THE SPIDER
VEINS THAT COME.
BUT YOU SAY THOSE CAN.
SO IT'S JUST A MATTER OF
PROGRESSION HOW THEY PROGRESSED
EVEN MORE SO.
AND IS THAT WHAT MAKES THEM BE
CALLED VARICOSE VEINS THEN >>
WHEN WHEN THE VEIN DILATES TO
THREE MILLION A CERTAIN SIZE >>
AND MOST WOMEN WITH SPIDER
VEINS WON'T GET VARICOSE VEINS
THEY'RE ALMOST TWO SEPARATE
CATEGORIES OF VEIN DISEASE.
OK, BUT THE RISK FACTORS ARE
THE SAME.
GENETICS DEFINITELY IS
PREGNANCY'S STAND UP JOBS
GETTING OLDER.
RIGHT.
CAN INFLUENCE AND HORMONES FOR
FEMALES CAN INFLUENCE THE
PRESENCE OF SPIDER VEINS >>.
BUT YOU YOU ALSO SAY THAT MANY
WOMEN WHO ARE NOT AWARE OF THIS
I MEAN IT CAN LEAD TO WORSE
PROBLEMS DOWN THE ROAD.
SO SPIDER VEINS IF IF IT'S
RELATED TO VARICOSE VEINS
DISEASE IT CAN.
OK.
MANY TIMES IT'S NOT.
AND WE'RE GETTING A MORE CLEAR
UNDERSTANDING OF SPIDER VEINS
IN THE SKIN.
THERE ARE THESE LAYERS OF MICRO
VALVES THAT CAN BE
DYSFUNCTIONAL CREATING SPIDER
VEINS.
AND YET IN SOME PEOPLE THEY'LL
HAVE A LOT OF SPIDER VEINS WHEN
WE SCAN THEM.
WE DON'T SEE MUCH OF ANY
VARICOSE >> VEINS REALLY.
SO IT'S THERE IT'S A DIFFERENT
MONSTER SO TO SPEAK.
AND TWO >> SEPARATE THINGS
REALLY SOMETIMES IT CAN BE
TOTALLY SEPARATE WAYS AND WE
CAN DEAL WITH THAT TOO.
IT'S INTERESTING >> HOW IT
PROGRESSES.
IT IS.
AND YOU SAY PREGNANCY AND
LIFESTYLE INCLUDING CERTAIN
OCCUPATIONS CAN AFFECT THE
PROGRESSION OF THE DISEASE AS
WELL >>.
CORRECT.
SO STAND UP JOBS IS WORSE THAN
SECOND TO SIT DOWN JOBS AND
THEN PATIENTS WHO ARE ABLE TO
WALK THROUGHOUT THEIR JOB SEEM
TO DO THE BEST IN TERMS
PROGRESSION PREVENTION.
>> IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO
IN TERMS OF PREVENTION OR
THINGS THAT WE CAN DO AT HOME
OR AT WORK JUST TO LESSEN THE
VISIBILITY OF THEM OR THE
PROGRESSION OF THEM?
SO IN TERMS OF THE PROGRESSION
OF BEING ACTIVE, THE CALF
MUSCLE IS AN IMPORTANT PUMP
HELPS PREVENT THE VEIN PRECIOUS
FROM BUILDING UP TO BE AN
ACTIVE WEIGHT REDUCTION ARE THE
MAIN THINGS >> AND THEN
TREATMENTS.
WHAT DO YOU GUYS DO HERE?
IF I DECIDED TO COME IN AS A
PATIENT?
WHAT HAPPENS THEN >>?
SO >> FROM MOST PATIENTS WILL
AT LEAST DO A VENUS SCREEN,
MAKE SURE THERE'S NO
SIGNIFICANT UNDERLYING VEIN
DISEASE.
AND THEN WE MANAGE THESE
PATIENTS WITH INJECTIONS.
IT'S CALLED SKLAROFF THERAPY.
IT WILL FORM A MICROCAR INSIDE
THE VEIN WHICH ONE THAT SHRINKS
THEN THE VEIN DISAPPEARS.
OH >>, OK.
SO MINIMALLY INVASIVE I WOULD
IMAGINE THAT'S QUESTIONS A LOT
OF PEOPLE HAVE TO WONDER.
OK, HOW IS THIS GOING TO WORK?
IS IT A LONG PROCEDURE?
WHAT DOES IT ENTAIL?
RIGHT.
SO IT'S MINIMALLY INVASIVE AND
VERY TOLERABLE.
WE USE VERY FINE NEEDLES FOR
THESE INJECTIONS.
YOUR MEDICATION REALLY DOESN'T
STING MUCH AT ALL AND TAKES
MAYBE ABOUT 20 TO 30 MINUTES
DEPENDING ON WHAT THE PATIENT.
AND THEN >> HOW OFTEN DO YOU
HAVE TO COME BACK TO MAKE SURE
THOSE THINGS ARE GOOD TO GO?
SO THE EARLIEST PHASING COMES
BACK IS SIX WEEKS.
WE'VE GOT TO GIVE IT TIME TO DO
ITS THING.
I'LL IN SIX WEEKS AND THREE
MONTHS.
OK.
WELL THANK YOU SO MUCH YOUR
TIME.
WE APPRECIATE.
I KNOW THAT THEY CAN GIVE YOU
GUYS A CALL OR VISIT CENTER FOR
VAINE DOT COM CORRECT?
YES.
OK.
