A common cosmetic concern for both men and women, spider veins are characterized by clusters of dark red or purple veins that branch out in a spider leg appearance on the face, legs or ankles. Varicose veins are caused by a disruption in the natural flow of blood through the veins, causing them to bulge and become visible underneath the skin. The presence of spider or varicose veins can not only cause self-consciousness in men and women, it can also be difficult to treat without medical intervention. We offer multiple options for safely and effectively treating spider and varicose veins, including sclerotherapy.
Although spider veins & varicose veins do not typically indicate a medical concern, many individuals choose to have them removed for cosmetic reasons.
Sclerotherapy for Spider Veins and Varicose Veins
One of the least invasive methods for vein removal, sclerotherapy involves injections of a solution, typically a salt solution, directly into the affected veins. This procedure is quick and generally well-tolerated by most patients. Once the solution is injected into the veins, the lining of the vessels is irritated, causing the vein walls to stick together. The blood is then redirected through healthy veins, and over time the treated veins are naturally removed by the body.
Developed and used since the 1930s, sclerotherapy is an in-office procedure that takes up to 30 minutes on average and is easy to fit into any busy schedule. A more comfortable, convenient solution to extensive vein removal surgery, sclerotherapy has a high success rate among most patients.
After Sclerotherapy Treatment
Although most patients are able to drive themselves home and resume normal activities after sclerotherapy treatment, a daily walking regimen is encouraged to maintain good circulation and reduce the risk of blood clots after treatment. You may also be encouraged to wear compression stockings in order to compress the treated veins. Our medical team will provide specific post-treatment instructions in order to optimize your results.
