With summer time just around the corner, it seems everyone’s minds tend to drift toward the dreaded bathing suit reveal. Other than weight, the look of one’s skin is next in line of importance for looking sexy in a bathing suit. Spider veins can drastically change the look of skin making the skin look flawed and blemished. What if you could change the look of your skin with a minimally invasive procedure?
The answer is Sclerotherapy! With a thorough ultrasound, technicians can quickly and effectively diagnose the type of vein issues that you have. If spider veins are your diagnosis, a treatment of Sclerotherapy may be a given solution.
So what is Sclerotherapy? It is the treatment of spider veins via injection of a solution that will cause the vein to diminish over time. Another alternative to injections would be via a laser treatment. The recovery is minimal and may include but not limited to wearing support hose, limited heavy lifting, and increased walking to avoid staying in one place for too long.
To understand the procedure it is important to understand what spider veins actually are. Spider veins are small groups of veins that show through onto the surface of the skin, usually on the legs. They can appear at any age and can take on the appearance of various colors. People can develop spider veins for many different reasons including genetics, weight or hormonal fluctuations, and even occupation or lifestyle choices.
