  • Dr. Luis Navarro at the Vein Treatment Center

    Those who are beginning to feel bad about their necks may feel similarly not so great about their hands�and the protruding veins that grow ever more prominent as the skin loses elasticity. Dr. Navarro, the founding surgeon at the Vein Treatment Center and a three-decade specialist in the field, has developed a fix for this issue: a painless 30-minute treatment called cryo sclerotherapy ($1,000). Ice-cold blasts of air numb the area and five tiny needles are used to inject a mild chemical-based solution into the vein, causing it to shrink and then disappear within two weeks. Some patients require a follow-up session ($500), but for the most part, just be diligent about applying sunscreen, and the results should last long term.
