Sclerotherapy is
best way to treat spider veins which are much smaller than varicose veins. A
solution (sclerosing agent) is
injected directly into the venules causing an
inflammation of the walls of the vessel. The
venules disappear over a few weeks to months. A typical sclerotherapy session is
relatively quick, lasting only about 15 to 45
minutes.

Varicose veins are very swollen and raised above
the surface of the skin. They are dark purple or
blue in color, and can look like cords or very
twisted and bulging.
Spider veins are similar to varicose veins, but
they are smaller, are often red or blue in color,
and are closer to the surface of the skin than
varicose veins. They can look like a tree branch
or spider web with their short jagged lines.

After
your spider vein
treatment
Although you probably won't want to wear any
leg baring fashions for about two weeks, your
activity will not be significantly limited in
any other way from sclerotherapy treatment.
You will be encouraged to walk to prevent
clots from forming in the deep veins of the
legs. A one-month healing interval must pass
before you may have your second series of
injections in the same site. After each
treatment, you will notice further
improvement of your legs' appearance.

Treatment
Information
Women of any age may be good
candidates for sclerotherapy, but most fall in the
30-to-60 year old category. In some women, spider
veins may become noticeable very early in the teen
years. For others, the veins may not become
obvious until they reach their 40's.
Serious medical complications from sclerotherapy
are extremely rare when the procedure is performed
by a qualified practitioner. However, they may
occur. Risks include the formation of blood clots
in the veins, severe inflammation, allergic reactions to the sclerosing solution and
skin injury that could leave a small scar.
