Spider veins are those tiny purple and red blood vessels found most commonly on the thighs or lower legs of women. They are hereditary and can form from the top of the thigh to the ankle. Occasionally, spider veins appear on the face.
Varicose veins are larger. They can appear raised with a bluish color and can become quite painful. Although spider viens and varicose veins carry blood, they are not part of the venous valve system. Your spider veins and varicose veins can be eliminated permanently through a simple office procedure call Sclerotherapy.
The Sclerotherapy treatment was developed in the 1920's.
During the procedure, a sclerosing solution is injected into the vein through a micro-needle The tiny needle generally causes very little pain. The sclerosing solutin causes the vein to blanch (turn white), then gradually disappear. A typical treatment may last for 15 to 20 minutes and consist of multiple injections. Injection Sclerotherapy may eliminate the need for an invasive surgical procedure.
