Treating Spider Veins vs. Varicose Veins
You probably have a good idea of how you would go about treating varicose veins. There are a few different methods but the one that is making headlines right now is VNUS Closure Fast. This relatively new treatment is an outpatient procedure which uses laser to seal off and heal the varicose veins in parts of the body such as your legs. This procedure has replaced sclerotherapy as the most popular form of vein treatment at the current time.
There has been a lot of news about VNUS Closure Fast lately and that's resulted in the general population basically knowing how to deal with varicose veins. But the same can not be said of
spider veins. Ask the average person how to treat these smaller veins in the face and extremities and you'll find that most people don't have a clue.
Spider veins are also able to be treated using the procedures that are used for varicose veins. Both sclerotherapy and laser treatment have been used in the past as a way to get rid of these small veins for the purpose of enhancing the patient's cosmetic appeal. However, there are also other forms of treatment that may be less invasive and can be done in a cosmetic doctor's office rather than by a vein treatment doctor. If you're trying to deal with spider veins, you will want to review all of the treatment options available to you prior to making a decision.
