Sclerotherapy

Spider veins and varicose veins impact nearly 80 million people in the United States each year causing embarrassment and a lack of self-confidence. Spider veins are often found on the face and legs, while varicose veins can usually be found on the back of the calf or on the inside of the leg.

Genetics, hormonal fluctuations, birth control pills, weight gain, and certain hormone replacement therapies are all associated with the surfacing of spider and varicose veins. While unattractive, spider and varicose veins can also be painful and uncomfortable. Sclerotherapy is a safe and effective procedure that is frequently used to treat spider veins and varicose veins.

Benefits

Within a couple of weeks following a sclerotherapy procedure, unwanted veins disappear entirely. During this time, patients may have to wear compressive bandages or stockings in order to allow the area to heal properly. Since this procedure is minimally invasive, patients can begin walking and completing regular tasks immediately.

The result of this procedure is smooth skin that does not contain any varicose or spider veins. Not only does sclerotherapy get rid of varicose and spider veins, it also prevents these veins from creating any medical complications that may arise if veins are left untreated.

Patients that opt for sclerotherapy are able to see results from this procedure within a few weeks, resulting in a wardrobe change, renewed self confidence, and youthful-looking skin. There are many reasons why varicose and spider veins appear, though sclerotherapy is the only effective way to get rid of them.
