We would be honored to help you find your confidence again.



Spider veins can be very painful if not treated on time. Most people with spider veins often complain about slight aches, pains, and even burning sensations. Treatment options are now available that help to remove spider veins easily. These treatments remove those thin red lines or spider web-like blood vessel networks that appear on your limbs or feet. Many clinics offer two types of varicose vein treatment, also known as sclerotherapy and laser surgery. In the first therapy, doctors inject a solution into the veins. This solution helps to minimize scars and closing veins. This will reroute blood through healthier veins by fading spider veins gradually. In a few weeks, spider veins start to fade. Sometimes, your doctor will decide whether you need another injection or not. The injected area may show slight swelling and itching.

Laser surgery is another method to remove spider veins. Doctors use strong bursts of laser lights to treat spider veins. Gradually, the veins will fade and disappear. This is the easiest therapy for spider vein treatment, as this is a non-invasive method and many patients prefer this therapy over the sclerotherapy. However, this method is less effective than scelotherapy. Sometimes, patients may show slight bruising, itching, and swelling in the treated area. Occasionally, laser surgery can also cause blistering of the skin, which may leave permanent scars. However, laser therapy can slowly fade spider veins without any invasive procedure.

Ciao Bella Medical Spa and Vein Clinic offer specialized services for spider vein removal. The clinic’s expert doctors first diagnose the problem before treating it. Only certified professionals treat venous problems and spider vein issues. Those with problems of varicose vein and spider veins can consult the Ciao Bella spider vein treatment center for effective diagnosis and treatment. Ciao Bella Medical Spa wants to aid in the restoration of your confidence and they would be honored to do so.

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow!

If you are tired of annoying shaving, painful waxing, tedious tweezing or noxious chemicals to remove unwanted body hair, then laser hair removal is the answer for you! Laser hair removal is the process of removing unwanted hair by means of exposure to pulses of laser light that destroy the hair follicle. Since it can be performed quickly and relatively painlessly on any part of the body for both men and women, it’s no wonder laser hair reduction is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures in the country.

True laser hair removal is more than just ''zapping'' unwanted hair. It is a medical procedure that requires training to perform and carries potential risks. Before getting any laser hair removal procedure, you should thoroughly check the credentials of the doctor or technician performing the procedure. The advantage to this technology is that lasers can selectively target darker, coarser hairs while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged. A skilled professional has been trained in how to adjust the laser equipment according to color, thickness and location of the hair being treated, as well as taking into consideration the color of the skin the hair is growing from. Each pulse of a laser takes a fraction of a second, but can treat many hair follicles at the same time. Most lasers can treat an area approximately the size of a quarter every second. Through a series of laser treatments, the hair follicles start to die out, decreasing hair growth by an average of 80%. http://www.webmd.com/beauty/hair-removal/laser-hair-removal

So stop wasting time and money trying to getting rid of hair that is just going to grow back! Laser hair removal can be a permanent solution. At Ciao Bella we offer several of the best and latest technologies for laser hair reduction performed by our expertly trained and experienced laser technician. Our technician evaluates each individual’s situation so recommendations can be made for the best technology for the client.

What's the Difference Between Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery?

If you think cosmetic surgery and plastic surgery are the same thing, think again. Many people make this common assumption, but there is a difference between the two.  In general, many plastic surgeons choose to focus their practice on cosmetic surgery and thus the term cosmetic surgery has seemingly become synonymous with plastic surgery among most patients. Though cosmetic and plastic surgery are closely related specialties, they are not technically the same.

Determining whether a patient needs plastic or cosmetic surgery depends on what is trying to be accomplished and thus which type of doctor will perform it. To help one understand the differences between the two surgeons who perform these procedures and why it is important to understand their differences, there are two main points to expound upon. The first being, cosmetic surgery and plastic surgery have different goals, and the second, cosmetic surgery training is obtained separately from plastic surgery training.

“The procedures, techniques, and principles of cosmetic surgery are entirely focused on enhancing a patient’s appearance. Improving aesthetic appeal, symmetry, and proportion are the key goals. Cosmetic surgery can be performed on all areas of the head, neck, and body. Because the treated areas function properly, cosmetic surgery is elective. Cosmetic surgery is practiced by doctors from a variety of medical fields, including plastic surgeons…

“Plastic surgery is defined as a surgical specialty dedicated to reconstruction of facial and body defects due to birth disorders, trauma, burns, and disease. Plastic surgery is intended to correct dysfunctional areas of the body and is reconstructive in nature. Plastic and reconstructive surgeons are one in the same.” To read more about these goals and learn the differences between cosmetic and plastic surgeon’s training, please visit the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery website.

At Ciao Bella Med Spa and Vein Clinic, we are proud to have both a board certified plastic surgeon and board certified cosmetic surgeon, both with extensive training, experience and medical backgrounds which make them outstanding surgeons. By having surgeons with both plastic and cosmetic qualifications available to our patients, our doctors not only continue to produce the exceptional results Ciao Bella has become known for, but they are able to collaborate on major surgeries to provide a superior level of experience, specialties and broader skillset for excellent results. To learn more about our physicians, their education, training and backgrounds, as well as the services Ciao Bella provides, please visit our website. Ciao Bella Med Spa offers the opportunity to enhance your natural beauty, correct and restore, and achieve the look you’ve always wanted, while ensuring the personalized care necessary to make your procedure a rewarding and satisfying experience.
