OREGON COSMETIC VEIN CENTER OPENS IN PORTLAND, AMONG FIRST ON WEST COAST TO OFFER BRAND NEW, FDA-APPROVED PROCEDURES AND TECHNOLOGIES

PORTLAND, Ore., May 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Dr. F. Douglas Day, M.D., Founder and Medical Director of Day Medical Salon, announced the launch of the Oregon Cosmetic Vein Center (OCVC). The OCVC (http://www.oregoncosmeticveincenter.com) is one of the first West Coast vein clinics to offer the CoolTouch CTEV(R) Vein Removal Procedure and other new, FDA-approved treatments and technologies. The OCVC's investment in the very latest equipment and training delivers better results in fewer visits, a potential savings of money, time and discomfort for clients. The OCVC is conveniently located in the medical suites on the third floor of Portland's Lloyd Center Mall.

To celebrate its opening, the OCVC is offering a free ultrasound analysis for each patient, followed by a thorough examination by Dr. Day. Cosmetic vein conditions affect men and women of all ages, and can have an undesirable impact on one's appearance. Beyond cosmetic issues, many people are unaware that vascular insufficiencies can also be symptoms of serious underlying health issues related to poor blood circulation. These can result in pain, swelling, cramps, itching and restricted mobility. In extreme cases, the conditions can even become life threatening.

"If discovered early, vein abnormalities can sometimes be reversed with just a few treatments," said Dr. Day. "It's important that people understand the status of their vein health. We are offering free ultrasound to help our clients make informed decisions about maintaining their vascular health, as well as making desired improvements to their appearance."

The OCVC's treatments include the CoolTouch CTEV Vein Removal Procedure (Endovenous Laser Ablation), European Phlebectomy, Sclerotherapy (Injection Therapy) and Spectra VRM Laser Vein Removal. These minimally-invasive procedures correct issues including spider veins, varicose veins, ropey veins and stasis dermatitis, with quick treatments that require virtually no downtime.

Dr. Day established the OCVC in recognition of the need for dedicated, advanced cosmetic vein care in the region. He has studied extensively under Dr. John R. Kingsley, M.D., of the Alabama Vascular & Vein Center, one of the nation's foremost vascular disorder experts, adding to decades of experience in delivering vein treatments and other cosmetic and medical solutions.

In addition to free ultrasound, the OCVC is also introducing the "Refer a Friend" program. Clients who deliver qualified referrals (see website for details) receive a free Microdermabrasion and one-time Jane Iredale Mineral Cosmetics makeover through Day Medical Salon, Dr. Day's sister practice. The salon provides a range of cosmetic medical procedures including non-surgical facelifts and fillers, cellulite reduction and LipoSculpture, Botox(R), laser hair removal, tattoo removal and more.
