'Spider' veins are very thin bluish or reddish veins that may appear on thighs and legs and also on other areas of the body, such as arms and face. Over the years, many different medical treatments have been applied in order to eliminate them, or at least to reduce their number and appearance.
At this time, the most effective medical treatments use 'Sclerotherapy', which is the injection into these small vessels of medications that would literally erase them. Lasers are frequently used to treat spider veins, but they are not as effective as sclerotherapy, are more expensive and may require multiple applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does 'Sclerotherapy' hurt? Pain during sclerotherapy treatments has been a concern over the years, depending largely on the type, amount and concentration of the solutions used.
We are pleased to tell our patients that because our doctors use specially formulated, non-allergenic proprietary solutions for Sclerotherapy treatments, pain and discomfort during and after treatments have been eliminated several years ago, allowing them to return to their normal activities right away.
Are there any complications with Sclerotherapy treatments?... The frequency of undesired effects and complications are greatly diminished when medications are carefully chosen and applied by physicians with a great deal of experience. Our doctors have treated many patients for over fifteen years without any undesired results, due to their excellent skills and their use of state-of-the-art medical devices and supplies, including magnification during delicate treatments.
We often see patients who consult for bruising, vein "matting" and skin scarring after undergoing Sclerotherapy treatments at other medical facilities, due to a poor choice of medications or techniques, applied by insufficiently trained professionals.
How many treatments are necessary to remove spider veins?... The number of treatments is different for each patient: usually, three treatment sessions [each one provided one week apart] would take care of most dilated veins. Occasionally, some patients will require more treatments due to numerous enlarged veins.
All of our patients are offered a free first consultation, during which an experienced physician will answer all questions regarding any of our treatments.
Our fees for spider veins treatments start at $260 per session
