Reading Spider Vein Therapy - Spider Vein Removal

Millions of women are bothered by spider veins - those small yet unsightly clusters of red, blue or purple veins that most commonly appear on the thighs, calves and ankles. In fact, it’s estimated that at least half of the adult female population is plagued with this common cosmetic problem.

Today, many plastic surgeons are treating spider veins with scierotherapy. In this rather simple procedure, veins are injected with a sclerosing solution, which causes them to collapse and fade from view.

The procedure may also remedy the bothersome symptoms associated with spider veins, including aching, burning, swelling and night cramps.

The introduction of sclerosing agents that are mild enough to be used in small veins has made sclerotherapy predictable and relatively painless.
