Eliminate thread veins

The purpose of sclerotherapy is to treat unwanted unsightly and often uncomfortable thread-vein and spider veins from the legs. A sclerosant solution is injected into the veins causing them to collapse and eventually be absorbed into the body. Sclerotherapy is a quick proven effective way to treat veins without anesthesia or incisions.

Once treated the veins do not reappear. The treatment offers cosmetic and health benefits.

It varies from individual to individual but typically 2-4 treatments are required for the best results. In patients with a few veins, 1-2 sessions will suffice. More treatments are required where veins are more numerous and extensive.

There is a little sting associated with each injection which lasts few seconds. Most individuals tolerate the procedure and do not require any type of anesthesia. The majority of patients claim that the procedure is much less painful than they anticipated.

Thread veins have no function and removing them does no harm. The only reason they are removed is because of their unsightly appearance.

Almost anyone with unwanted spider veins can be treated, except women who are pregnant or nursing. Other relative contraindications include those with skin infections, uncontrolled diabetes, fever, history of deep vein thrombosis, anticoagulant therapy those patients taking corticosteroids.
