Sclerotherapy cost

Updated on: August 18, 2014
If you experience unsightly veins and want to get rid of them, you should know that sclerotherapy cost is affordable. 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. Spider veins are caused by swollen and dilated, small veins under the skin. When the pressure inside the vein increases enough to overcome normal resistance of the vein wall, spider veins appear. In women, the ability of veins to resist increased pressure is reduced when the body's estrogen level drops.

Causes for Spider Veins

The Procedure
