T reatment of L eg V eins Today, due to modern technology, both telangiectasias and superficial varicose veins can be treated with a procedure called sclerotherapy. Sclerotherapy is a technique which involves the use of a very fine needle to inject a solution directly into the veins. This is just a short list of the treatments provided at the Columbia Skin Clinic. Dermatology is the field of medicine dedicated to all diseases and problems of the skin, hair, nails and mucous membranes of the mouth and genitalia. Dermatologists train for at least four years, usually one year of general medicine followed by three years of dermatology.
Patients can benefit from having direct access to dermatologists.
Laws have been passed in various states which require health insurance companies to allow direct access to dermatologists. Patients can see lesions and abnormalities on their skin and know when they have a problem, unlike with many other organ systems. Dermatologists have proven themselves cost effective at making the right diagnoses and providing the right treatments promptly for skin diseases.
