Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is the injection
of small amounts of an irritating solution into unwanted spider veins of the
thighs, calves, and ankles. This relatively
painless procedure causes the vessels to collapse and fade from view.
One to four treatments
may be needed to acquire desired results depending
on the number of vessels being treated. Sclerotherapy is often combined with
laser treatments for optimal results. Support hose are often recommended to
be worn for a short period after treatment.
