Spider Vein Treatment
No matter how great your legs look, if you have spider veins, total attention is drawn to them. Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure used to eliminate varicose veins and spider veins. Sclerotherapy involves and injection of a solution directly into the vein. The solution irritated the lining of the blood vessel, causing it to collapse and stick together, and the blood to clot.
What are Spider Veins?
Commonly seen on legs, spider veins are the thin veins on the surface of the skin that are dark red or purple. They are most common on the legs but may appear elsewhere on the body. Spider veins appear when the blood traveling through the veins tries to flow backwards. This causes the veins to go to the surface of the skin and swell. While they are harmless, they may be unsightly, especially if there are large areas of spider veins.
