Spider veins affect between 30-50% of the adult population. They occur when blood pools in the veins closest to the surface of the skin, most commonly on the face, legs, or ankles. Although they can be caused by a number of factors, in many cases the exact cause is not known. And while they are tiny in size, they can have a big effect on one’s confidence.
The good news is that they usually respond exceptionally well to an easy, in-office treatment called Sclerotherapy.
*individual results may vary.
Here is a list of reasons you may have developed spider veins:
The gold standard of spider vein care is sclerotherapy injections. Sclerotherapy is a non-surgical spider vein treatment that involves the injection of an FDA-approved solution directly into the spider vein via a tiny needle.
The injected solution irritates the lining of the vein, causing it to collapse and then to disappear over time. This treatment is an in-office one and takes roughly 30 minutes to complete. Some patients will have larger clusters of spider veins that will need to be treated on more than one occasion to accomplish full fading of the veins. Typically, patients require a series of 1-4 treatments to clear their spider veins.
