SCLEROTHERAPY TREATMENT
for Spider Veins
Sclerotherapy is the method for eliminating superficial telangiectasias (spider veins) by
the injection of a sclerosing agent into the veins. The majority of most patients will have
a significant clearing of the veins.
However, there can be no guarantee that it will be effective in every case.
WHAT ARE SPIDER VEINS?
Spider veins - known in the medical world as telangiectasias - are small, thin veins that lie close to the surface of the skin. Although these super-fine veins are connected with the larger venous system, they are not an essential part of it.
Spider veins usually take on one of three basic patterns. They may appear in a true spider shape with a group of veins radiating outward from a dark central point; they may resemble tiny branch-like shapes; or they may appear as thin separate lines.
CAUSES OF SPIDER VEINS
Several factors contribute to the development of spider veins, including heredity, pregnancy and other events that cause hormonal shifts, weight gain, occupations or activities that require prolonged sitting or standing, and the use of certain medications.
COMMON CANDIDATES
Spider veins are more common in women than men. Men and women of any age may be good candidates for Sclerotherapy/Laser treatments, but most fall in the 30-to-60 category. Spider veins may become noticeable very early on - in the teen years. For others, the veins may not become obvious until they reach their 40s.
