Vein Specialist in Tampa Bay Discusses When to Undergo Vein Treatment
According to a recent study by the American College of Phlebology (ACP), more than 80 million people in the United States suffer from spider veins or varicose veins. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) also estimates in a recent survey that 50% of women over 21 in the United States have spider veins. Dr. Jeffrey Hunt, a vein specialist in Tampa Bay, says seeking treatment for leg vein issues requires diligent research, but is an important step towards having greater self-confidence and a more comfortable everyday life.
At his center for vein treatment in Tampa, Dr. Jeffrey Hunt says leg vein issues are a growing concern amongst his patients, particularly women. A recent survey by the American College of Phlebology (ACP) reports that spider and varicose veins impact more than 80 million people in the United States. Thanks to developments in laser and injection-based treatments, Dr. Hunt says vein treatment specialists can clear up these significant medical complications and eliminate the pain associated with them. With the new technology and procedures available to patients, he says there has never been a better time to treat spider or varicose veins. Dr. Hunt also says varicose veins, a condition typically affecting middle-age women characterized by blood vessels that have become twisted, dilated, or swollen, can be treated through several types of procedures, including ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) also states in a recent study that 50% of women over 21 in the United States are afflicted with spider veins. Given the significant portion of the population suffering from leg vein issues, Dr. Hunt recommends patients seek a qualified and specialized doctor for leg vein treatment. He also suggests consulting with a practice dedicated to quality, personalized care. “Patients should look for the newest non-surgical approaches for their venous problem and a center that has both longevity and extensive experience.”
Whether patients are seeking treatment for spider or varicose veins, Dr. Hunt says finding the right practice for therapy is essential for getting the best results and attaining a more comfortable daily life. “Patients should begin seeking treatment if their appearance bothers them or if they develop symptoms such as heaviness and aches due to spider or bulging varicose veins.”

Dr. Hunt Remains on Cutting-edge of Vein Treatment
At the Vein and Cosmetic Center, Dr. Jeffrey Hunt specializes in vein treatment in Tampa for a number of cosmetic concerns such as spider and varicose veins. However, with the recent implementation of an innovative technology from eMatrix™ known as Sublative Rejuvenation, Dr. Hunt is able to provide effective methods of skin resurfacing with minimal downtime.
Dr. Jeffrey A. Hunt is the medical director of the Vein & Cosmetic Center, which specializes in vein treatment for such conditions as varicose and spider veins in Tampa, FL. However, with the majority of cosmetic procedures performed in 2009 falling under the nonsurgical category, as demonstrated by the most recent study from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), Dr. Hunt says he was compelled to implement an innovative technology from Syneron® known as the eMatrix™ system to further satisfy his patients’ aesthetic enhancement needs.
The ASAPS study shows 85% of the almost 10 million cosmetic procedures performed in 2009 were nonsurgical in nature, ranging from BOTOX® injections to spider and varicose vein treatment. Dr. Hunt says skin resurfacing is another nonsurgical procedure that has been gaining in popularity of late, due in part to innovative technology and equipment such as the Sublative Rejuvenation™ treatment available with the eMatrix™ system. Through the use of the radio frequency technology, Dr. Hunt says he is often able to improve the appearance of wrinkles, scars from acne or injury, skin tone, and superficial skin lesions.
Dr. Hunt cites a study conducted by the Journal of Drugs and Dermatology, which found a majority of patients showed improvements in facial parameters following treatment with the eMatrix™ system: 83% of patients reported brighter skin tone, while 90% reported increased skin smoothness and wrinkle reduction. However, Dr. Hunt is quick to note that regardless of whether his patients are in search of effective wrinkle reduction or leg vein treatment, he and his Vein & Cosmetic Center team focus exclusively on the individual patient’s safety and satisfaction above all else.
