Understanding Your Spider Vein Treatment Options

Spider veins are dilated or stretched blood vessels which are close to the skin, generally with a branching pattern, and visible on the legs, face, hands, neck, or chest. They’re often progressive and usually increase in number and visibility with age.

These spider veins are unsightly, and can cause multiple symptoms such as pain, swelling or itching. Progressive refined sclerotherapy vein treatment offers an ideal treatment for these vessels, virtually erasing them from the skin.

When there are symptoms or concerns about the appearance of spider veins, this treatment option offers great results. In this procedure, the feeder veins are treated in a progressive pattern, starting from the top, and moving down in a band-like pattern. The vein specialist doctor injects the veins with a gentle yet effective FDA-approved solution that causes the damaged veins to collapse and close, causing the blood to reroute through healthier veins and restoring healthy circulation.

Over time, the closed vein gets absorbed by the body and disappears.  The vein specialists initiate the process and the body does the rest, naturally. Sclerotherapy doesn’t require anesthesia, can be done in the doctor’s office, and is minimally invasive and virtually pain-free, with little to no recovery time.

This vein treatment not only minimizes the unsightly appearance of spider veins, but also can provide relief from tired, aching, cramping, and restless legs. Importantly, studies have shown this safe, effective treatment can eliminate as many as 50-80% percent of treated veins after just a few sessions. Sclerotherapy sessions are typically completed within 20 minutes per leg, and most people can resume their daily activities immediately after treatment.
