Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is the best treatment for spider veins as well as small superficial varicose veins that usually appear on the legs and hands. Sclerotherapy involves the injection of a solution into a spider a reticular vein through a very small needle. You will see results immediately as the chemical collapses the blood vessel. The natural healing process of the body re-routes the blood flow to other veins and the problem vein will fade from view over a period of several weeks. The procedure is performed using the finest needle possible to minimize the pain of injection. Many patients are pleasantly surprised when they experience how painless sclerotherapy is. It typically takes 3 to 6 treatments for the gradual fading of treated veins. Besides its noticeable cosmetic benefits, sclerotherapy may but don’t always improve bothersome symptoms associated with spider veins, including itching, aching, burning and nighttime cramps.
