Spider & Varicose Veins

There are two types of treatments for the removal of superficial vessels: SCLEROTHERAPY and LASER THERAPY

Sclerotherapy is a very popular treatment in the winter months. Advance planning and treatment of spider veins will leave you prepared for the skin-bearing summer months! Sclerotherapy is done in half hour treatment sessions. The number of veins injected in one session varies and depends on the size and location of the veins. Approximately as many as 50%-80% of injected veins may be eliminated with each session of sclerotherapy. Depending on the number and severity of your vessels, we will make a recommendation of the number of treatment sessions you may require to clear the vessels. In general, spider veins respond in three to six weeks, and larger veins respond in three to four months. Treatment sessions are usually about 4-6 weeks apart. Veins that respond to treatment will not reappear. However, new veins may appear at the same rate as before. If needed, you may return for touch-up injections.
