About Sclerotherapy

How long has it been since you've walked along a white sandy beach in a swimsuit or walked down the street in a pair of shorts? Too long? Do you hate the ugly veins that have taken over your legs? If you said yes, then sclerotherapy, a cosmetic procedure can help you and your legs look and feel better.

If you experience unsightly clusters of red, blue or purple veins on your thighs, calves and ankles, you may have spider veins. Spider veins can be treated with sclerotherapy that can make your legs look great.

Spider veins are small, thin veins that lie close to the surface of the skin. Although these minute veins are linked to your larger venous system, they are not a necessary part of it.

Causes for Spider Veins

• Heredity

• Pregnancy

• Hormonal Shifts

• Weight Gain

• Prolonged Standing

• Prolonged Sitting

• Taking certain Medications

The Procedure

In this procedure, your veins will be injected with a sclerosing solution that will make them collapse and fade from sight. This can also clear up other symptoms that you may be experiencing that are associated with spider veins, like aching, burning, swelling and night cramps.

There are numerous cosmetic surgeons in the your area who are innovative in their vein treatment procedures. If you are experiencing problems with spider and varicose veins you can find a vein treatment center in your area now.
