Spider Vein Treatment

Spider veins (telangiectasias) are small, thin blood vessels visible beneath the skin. They usually develop on the face or legs, and may look like a series of thin tree branches or strands of a spider web. Although most spider veins are only a cosmetic issue, for some people they can cause uncomfortable symptoms such as aching, burning, swelling and leg-cramping.

 

Sclerotherapy involves injecting a sclerosant, a solution designed to collapse them, into the veins. This procedure is performed in our office, Each treatment takes approximately one hour, and a typical patient requires two to four treatments.
