The 1064 Yag combines the ideal laser wavelength with the most flexible parameters to deliver a superior vascular vein treatment.

The 1064 Yag can treat a broad range of blood vessels from tiny spider veins to cherry hemangiomas, vein clusters and nose veins quickly, safely, and efficiently.
While some of these conditions have been attributed to alcoholism in the past, we now know that they are caused by heredity and sun exposure.

Xeomin
How Does Xeomin work?
When you squint or frown, the muscles between your brows contract, causing the skin to furrow and fold. Over time, as your skin ages and loses some of its elasticity these repeated contractions can cause persistent frown lines. Botulinum toxin type A– the active ingredient in Xeomin– acts on nerve endings in muscles to prevent muscle fibers from contracting. By reducing these contractions, Xeomin can temporarily reduce the lines of your forehead between your brows.

Sclerotherapy: Frequently Asked Questions
What is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is the injection of a solution into a vein. The solution causes the vein to close up or collapse and then be permanently absorbed by the body. Other nearby healthy veins will carry the blood with out a problem. Sclerotherapy is performed in the office without local anesthesia.
What Agents Are Used For Sclerotherapy?
Diehl plastic Surgery uses the FDA approved Asclera and Hypertonic Saline as our sclerotherapy agents. Ascerla and Hypertonic Saline are approved by the Food and Drug Administration for sclerotherapy. These agents are very effective, safe, and have been in clinical use for over 20 years.
Is Sclerotherapy Painful?
Most patients tolerate sclerotherapy and are surprised that the injections are essentially painless. A small pinch or “mosquito bite” is felt, but that is usually it. Occasionally, a mild burning sensation is felt after the injection, but this is mild and subsides quickly.
What Is The Procedure Like?
Sclerotherapy is performed as an outpatient procedure in our office. After obtaining photos and your signed informed consent you will be positioned in a surgical chair for the procedure. The skin is cleansed with alcohol and the injections are performed. Most treatments require 15-30 minutes. Medical compression hose will be fitted and applied immediately after treatment. The medical moderate exercises are encouraged for most patients. Discomfort during this period is minimal. Mild bruising may be seen around the treatment sites.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
The number of treatments will vary according to your condition. Most patients require 3-6 treatment sessions. The exact number of treatments needed, however, cannot be predicted.
Are The Results Permanent?
Veins eliminated by sclerotherapy do not return. Sclerotherapy does not, however, prevent the formation of new spider veins. Most patients will slowly develop new spider veins over time. This should not be mistaken as a return of the original spider vein.
Are There Any Precautions I Should Know About?
Patients taking birth control pills may have an increased risk of blood clots during sclerotherapy. You may wish to speak with your gynecologist to select another form of birth control. Additionally if you are trying to have children or it is possible that you are pregnant you should not undergo sclerotherapy. A better alternative may be to consider laser therapy. Aspirin, Vitamin E and other blood thinners should be discontinued 72 hours prior to treatment. Patients who have an allergy to Ascelera or who have a personal or family history of blood clots should not have sclerotherapy.
Is sclerotherapy or laser right for me?
The gold patient’s standard for vein therapy is sclerotherapy but many need or like to have a combination treatment depending individual vein pattern. Every patient needs to be evaluated individually.
Is the treatment safe?
Absolutely! The veins we inject are only a fraction of your overall circulation and we only use FDA approved solution.
Can only my tiny spider veins be treated even though I have some larger bluish-type veins?
It is extremely important to treat in a particular order. Large veins, medium and than small vessels. Treating veins in this order will produce lasting results.
Are the results of sclerotherapy permanent?
Yes. If a vein has been properly injected it will not reappear. Unfortunately, hereditary tendency exists and new veins can and probably will develop. We recommend periodic follow-up visits to keep your legs looking and feeling great.
What happens if I need bypass heart surgery in the future?
One of the most commonly asked questions, The veins used in bypass surgery include the Greater Saphenous and the Lesser Saphenous of the leg. These are not veins that we will be injecting. If these veins are disease and a surgical procedure is needed then they would not be a viable graft for bypass.
Do I have to stay in bed with my feet elevated for a period of time?
Absolutely not. In fact, we want you to walk at least 20 minutes twice a day to help with the healing process and allow your circulatory system to find a new healthy pathway to your heart.
Do I need to wear compression hose?
Compression after sclerotherapy helps heal the veins, promotes good venous blood flow, and prevents complications. It has been my experience that patients that wear them as directed between 3-14 days depending on severity; see faster clearing, less bruising and legs actually feel better going through the healing process.
How often do I come for treatments?
Between 4-8 weeks apart, allowing them time to heal and fade away.
How much of an area do you cover with one treatment?
Both legs front back and all around can be treated at one time.
How long after treatment will I start to see a difference?
Immediately you may have some bruising or mosquito bite type welts. But at about two weeks you can visibly see a gradual fading of your veins. From two weeks to three months, the area will gradually clear.
I do not have varicose veins but I have red spider veins that ache and make my leg feel heavy and tired. Can these veins be injected or lasered?
Yes. In fact, by eliminating this type of cluster of veins your legs do not only look great they feel wonderful! The heaviness comes from broken valves that are not pumping the blood up to the heart.

Combat Runner’s Face!
Today’s active male can get enormous returns by using fillers to combat the lines brought about by running and exercise. Here Dr. Brain S. Glatt discusses “runner’s face”: “Runner’s face generally occurs in both men and women ages 40+ who exercise to improve their body, and in doing so end up with a skeletal and bony face. When exercising, an athlete burns off fat beneath the layers of his/her skin. The marked loss of fatty tissue results in a loss of volume which leads to a prominent appearance of the bones, accelerated development of skin laxity and deepening of wrinkles. Though you may look like a 20-year-old from the neck down—your face will easily give away your age” Eileen can recommend simple lunch-time procedures to give your face the boost it needs to complement your athletic body!

Today, more than ever, there is competition with the younger guys, and a lot of men are beginning to feel it. It’s not about looking younger so much as it is about looking well-rested, like you have the energy to go the distance.” - David Goldberg, MD, director of Skin Laser and Surgery Specialists of New York and New Jersey.
