Do you have unsightly spider veins that make you want to hide your legs? Spider veins affect 1 in every 3 women and are one of the top concerns of women. You don’t have to be self-conscious. We can help you regain the confidence to wear your favorite dress, shorts or swimsuit again.
The most common cause of spider veins is genetics, pregnancy, and standing or sitting careers. Spider veins are clusters of red, blue or purple veins near the skin surface. Despite being < 1mm, they have a big impact on your life. At Vein Specialists of the South, we evaluate and treat spider veins with sclerotherapy.
Sclerotherapy is the go-to treatment for spider veins the world over, and advances in medications and injection technology have only improved over time, with lower risks, minimized discomfort, and better results.
To close spider veins, a microneedle is used to inject a sclerosing solution directly into the spider vein or feeder vein leading to the spider vein clusters. The solution flushes the blood out of the vein allowing direct contact of the solution with the vein wall. The sclerosant denatures the vein wall and over time, the body absorbs the spider veins and they gradually fade away. Typically 2-4 treatments are required for optimal results.
Any underlying vein disease should be treated before beginning cosmetic sclerotherapy. If there is no underlying vein disease, you can expect 70-80% fading of your spider veins upon completion of the treatment protocol.
Spider veins are a cosmetic problem. A consultation at VSS can determine if sclerotherapy is the best option for treating your spider veins. During your assessment, we determine if there is hidden vein disease. At that point, we can determine if you are a good candidate for cosmetic sclerotherapy or if another treatment may be best for you.
Cosmetic sclerotherapy treatment sessions last between 30-60 minutes. Depending on the number and size of your spider veins, 2-4 sessions are usually recommended.
It’s just 3 easy steps…
Sclerotherapy vein injections expectations are for a 70%-80% reduction of spider veins’ visibility and intensity upon completion of a series of treatments. It is important to realize that your spider veins may be more noticeable after the first treatment and begin to fade with subsequent treatments.
Sclerotherapy is a Walk in. Walk out … with little to no downtime® treatment. You may return to your normal schedule immediately. Avoid strenuous activity, hot baths, sun exposure and wear compression for 10-14 days for the best results.
