4 4 ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT TREATMENT FOR SPIDER VEINS? Though generally harmless, these hair-thin blemishes can be unsightly and uncomfortable for some, and cause one to want to cover up. If you ve thought about getting them treated or are simply curious about possible solutions, we at Alabama Vein & Restoration Medspa are here for you. You ll be happy to know that when you schedule an appointment at the Alabama Vein & Restoration Medspa you are coming to one of the best treatment centers in the nation. At our centers, we are determined to give you quality care and all the information that you might need. To help you feel more confident about scheduling your appointment, let s go over some basics about our spider vein treatment: No matter what medical procedure you are having done, there is always some prep involved. Let s go over some of the highlights and frequently asked questions. First, anesthesia: While this procedure does not require any anesthesia, if you have a fear of needles a mild sedative can be arranged for you so that the whole experience is more pleasant. Second, clearing the area: It is also important that there be as little obstruction as possible to the area; that means shaving the area of the leg where the procedure will take place as well as refraining from using any ointments or lotions on the day of the procedure. Third, clothing: You ll want to make sure that you are prepared to wear loose clothing over your compression hose that you will be wearing once the procedure is complete. Lastly, medications: Before you come to your treatment appointment, you ll want to discontinue any medications, as advised; you should be able to check during your consultation appointment what you can and cannot take prior to the appointment. Seeking treatment should not be a stressful experience. At the Alabama Vein & Restoration Medspa, we aim to provide you with as many resources as possible to keep anxiety in check. If you have any questions, you can always ask questions at your consultation appointment or explore our website to find more information.

8 metuera 8 Ud exeraessisi. MetueraNulla commy nim alit 8 3 Platelet-rich plasma or PRP has gained a lot of attention during the past decade or so as more and more healthcare providers have looked for ways to promote natural healing and tissue regeneration to avoid more invasive treatment options. PRP has been used widely in orthopedics, helping athletes recover from a wide array of injuries to joints and soft tissues. PRP skin rejuvenation uses a patient s own blood to help stimulate the body s natural healing and regeneration processes to help skin look and feel more youthful. Because it s non-surgical, PRP facial treatments avoid all the risks associated with surgery, and since it uses your own blood, there s no risk of allergic reaction that can occur with some facial procedures. Here s how it works. What is platelet-rich plasma? PRP is a filtered, concentrated product derived from your own blood. PRP contains a high number of platelet-derived growth factors, special substances that stimulate the production of new tissue. It also contains special proteins that help in healing. When PRP is applied to your skin, these growth factors and proteins talk to local stem cells, calling them to the treatment area. Once the stem cells are in the treatment site, they re stimulated to produce new, healthy cells that replace the old, damaged tissues. PRP also promotes the development of collagen, one of the most important building blocks of healthy, resilient skin. When we re young, our skin contains high amounts of collagen, which helps youthful skin look and feel more resilient. Collagen helps your skin stay smooth and firm, making it more difficult for lines and wrinkles to form. As we get older, our skin produces far less collagen, which means it s much easier for those signs of aging to take hold. Where can PRP be used? PRP can be used just about anywhere in the face. In general, PRP can be ideal for: miniat.
