How Sclerotherapy Is Used For Spider Veins in AZ

If you are dealing with visible veins on your legs or elsewhere on your body, you are most likely looking for viable ways to get rid of these markings forever and restore your skin. However, over-the-counter remedies do not work because they do not treat the problem at the source, and even lifestyle changes may do little to nothing to restore your skin although they may keep your remaining healthy veins from disease.

Your visible veins are either spider veins or varicose veins depending on their size and on their unique characteristics. Some of them may only leave you with cosmetic problems, such as the embarrassment you feel when you have to cover up your legs at all times. However, larger venous issues may leave you with physical problems that can affect your life, such as aching, skin rashes and restless legs.

Sclerotherapy may be your solution to repairing these problems easily so that you no longer have to deal with embarrassing colors and lines on the skin and so that you can feel comfortable again whether you are sitting or standing. Sclerotherapy is far superior to the older methods of dealing with problem veins and is actually seen as the gold standard of therapy. This is because it is a minimally invasive treatment that does not require general anesthesia or lengthy recovery times. Instead, in a couple of quick sessions, you can experience amazing results and permanently get rid of your problems veins.

During a sclerotherapy treatment, which is done in the convenience of our office, the area around the problematic vein will first be numbed with a topical solution. Once you are comfortable, we will inject a special sclerosing agent into the main problematic vein. This strong solution will irritate the walls of the vein near where it was injected, causing the venous walls to swell shut. Once the vein is shut, blood will no longer be able to flow through it, and the vein will gradually fade from sight over the next few months. You will most likely need at least two sclerotherapy appointments for great results.

Sclerotherapy in our clinic brings with it many benefits. Not only will you be getting premier care from experienced cosmetic surgeons in Arizona, but also you will be experiencing a very safe treatment that will quickly get rid of your physical and cosmetic side effects from varicose or spider veins.
