What is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy, the preferred treatment for spider leg veins, is minimally invasive. It involves injecting a solution directly into the affected veins, causing them to scar and collapse, which forces blood to reroute through healthier veins. The collapsed vein is then reabsorbed into the surrounding tissue and eventually fades away.
Benefits of Sclerotherapy:
- Reduction of unsightly spider veins: treatment of choice for spider veins.
- Reduction of small varicose veins: Not only will reduce varicose veins, but also eliminate any achiness associated with varicose veins
- Precision: Using ultrasound, sclerosant can be administered even in veins underneath the skin.
- Minimally invasive: short recovery time with little to no side effects.
