Although there are a number of very efficient and effective varicose and spider vein removal treatments on the market, patients still consider sclerotherapy the gold standard for removal. In recent years a sundry of viable treatments have entered the industry, dermatologists and surgeons alike have grown an affinity for them, but often times patients rely on sclerotherapy because it has been around for years as a good alternative to invasive stripping methods.
MedIndia a health site says, “Sclerotherapy is a non-surgical procedure that permanently removes unwanted veins and is considered by dermatologists to be the gold standard for the treatment of spider veins. The procedure involves injecting a special sclerosing solution with a very fine needle into the blood vessel, which irreversibly alters the vessel wall and causes it to be absorbed by the body, so that it fully disappears over time.”
Regardless of the removal treatment you choose, removing gnarled and ropy varicose and spider veins is essential to maintaining vein health, because sadly they often go untreated and may result in Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).
