Dr. Shamma's laser-based, in-office treatment has been adopted by the majority of centers around the world since its introduction in April 2001.
Through employing fiber-optics, laser optics, and simple surgical incisions, treating veinal abnormalities has become a simple procedure that is performed in-office with local anesthesia and minimal physical modification.

The network of veins on the back of the hand is covered by a layer of fat and generally thick non-transparent skin, making these veins largely invisible. Genetic factors, loss of fat around the veins, and aging of the skin, make these veins prominent and unsightly to some. While this is not a medical condition, it may be a major cosmetic nuisance to some. Just like facial wrinkles, women feel bothered by hand veins, as they tend to reveal their seniority.

A varicose vein is a large, bulging vein, which can be caused by a faulty valve, weak vein wall, or combination of both. Patients with varicose veins receive an evaluation to determine the underlying cause. In addition, the evaluation determines the major leak point, which is the basic origin of a varicose vein. The non-invasive evaluation usually consists of an in-office Doppler and color Duplex ultrasound examination.

Small veins near the surface of the skin are called "spider" veins also known as broken capillaries. Patients with spider veins usually do not need an extensive evaluation. Using modern techniques, spider veins can be treated with sclerotherapy methods as well as Endovenous methods (Endovenous laser aka E-LAS). The two types of facial veins most often treated are the smaller spider veins and larger reticular veins.
