Services
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy treats spider veins and varicose veins using targeted injections to collapse abnormal vessels. Ideal for cosmetic improvement and symptom relief, this minimally invasive procedure requires no downtime. Patients achieve smoother, healthier-looking legs with minimal discomfort.
Endovenous Laser Ablation
This advanced technique uses laser energy to seal problematic veins, addressing deep venous insufficiency and large varicose veins. It offers faster recovery than surgery while improving circulation and reducing swelling. Most patients resume normal activities immediately after treatment.
Medi-Cal Weight Loss Program
Our supervised program combines personalized nutrition plans with weight loss injections for individuals needing 25+ pounds of reduction. Tailored to metabolic needs, it promotes sustainable results through medical oversight and lifestyle modifications.
Laser Treatments
Targeted laser therapy eliminates broken capillaries, rosacea, and facial telangiectasia with precision. This non-ablative treatment preserves surrounding tissue while rejuvenating skin texture and tone across multiple sessions.
Cosmetic Injectables
Botox and Juvederm treatments reduce wrinkles and restore facial volume through FDA-approved injectables. Results appear instantly and last 6-18 months, depending on product type and individual metabolism.

I am always greeted with a smile and a very warm welcoming. The entire staff is always willing to take time to explain your procedure thoroughly without any rushing. Dr. Blumenthal has a very gentle hand and talks to you to ease your mind as you are going through your procedure. You are never pushed into anything and they are very upfront with the cost and how long it will take. I highly recommend Dr. Blumenthal and staff.

I've been going to The Vein Center for the last few years to get my spider veins treated. The difference is incredible and I only wish I had done it sooner. Dr. Blumenthal is a miracle worker and his staff is wonderful!

Dr. Blumenthal erased 25 years from my legs! I had scheduled major vein surgery with another doctor and decided to consult The Vein Center and Cosmed first. A month later, I'm very pleased. I have relief from pain and an astonishing improvement in my legs' appearance. Highly recommended!

I LOVE Dr. Blumenthal, his beautiful wife and daughter as well as the staff. I had the ugliest legs from spider veins way too young and hid my legs in hot weather for years. Five years ago Dr. Blumenthal changed all of that for me. Still loving my legs!

I paid $800 to have the veins in my hands removed. The result was very poor and extremely painful. Since I was there, I decided to have Botox in my forehead. After two weeks, I still did not see any results. I went back to show the Dr. He said I needed more, I said no. He applied more Botox at no charge and again there was no difference, " Zero". I waisted $300. I have being having Botox for over ten years in a couple places, and the result was always great. A very unhappy patient!
