If you have spider veins and want them removed, this can be achieved by having a cosmetic procedure called Sclerotherapy done. Spider veins are small, thin veins that lie close to the surface of the skin. Although these minuscule veins are linked to your larger venous system, they are not a necessary part of it. These veins have a spider shape with a number of veins stretching outward from a dark central point. Or they could imitate a pattern that looks like small branch-like shapes, although sometimes they appear like thin separate lines or like a sunburst or cartwheel that are found mostly on the inner knee or the outer thigh area.

Sclerotherapy Treatment

Sclerotherapy injection is where your veins are injected with a sclerosing solution that will make them collapse and fade from sight. This can also clear up other symptoms that you may be experiencing that are associated with spider veins, like aching, burning, swelling and night cramps.

With the sclerotherapy procedure, your cosmetic dermatologist will inject your veins with a sclerosing solution that will make them collapse and fade from sight. This can also clear up other symptoms that you may be experiencing that are associated with spider veins, like aching, burning, swelling and night cramps.

Sclerotherapy takes less than 30 minutes depending on how many veins that you are having treated at once. It can be performed right in your doctor’s office and you can go right back to work or continue your normal daily activities. There is virtually no downtime with this procedure.
