Venous Lakes Treatments

Venous lakes are blue to purple bumps that occur on the face of older patients, favoring the lips and ears. A structural weakening of the vein walls results due to sun exposure and damage over time. As the vessel wall weakens, this allows a dilatation or a slight outpouching of the vessel wall. This is very similar to the outpouching or ballooning seen in the old inner tubes of tires. These blebs are filled with venous (blue deoxygenated) blood giving the bumps there characteristic color.

Patient Testimonial

"I’ve tried Botox for eyebrow lifts in the past but it gave me those point “Dr. Spock” looking eyebrows that I just hated. When Dr. Crutchfield suggested I try the new Restylane lift, I was skeptical, but 10 minutes later I just couldn’t believe how fantastic my eyebrows looked. I would tell all my friends and sisters, but I want this to be my little secret!”
