Spider Vein Therapy

Spider veins are the thin capillaries that patients can see just underneath the skin’s top layer. These veins will slow grow in number as people age. A simple solution to these unsightly skin marks is spider vein therapy-sclerotherapy. Doctors inject a solution into the vein. This vein closes off because the blood within it clots together. The body naturally absorbs the vein, and the patient is left with clear skin. Spider vein therapy-sclerotherapy is similar to laser treatments because the process must be repeated over several visits. In a short time period, patients should see clear skin across their legs and abdomen.
