Spider Vein Treatment -- Sclerotherapy -- Treatment for Spider Vein

Spider Vein Treatment
Spider vein treatment (Unwanted Blood Vessels) is used to reduce the broken vein by a solution injection.

Unwanted blood vessels can cause problems on any part of the body; the legs and face are the most common.

Spider vein when visible and have the appearance of a spider web.

Spider vein will normally start with just a red patch underneath the skin, then thin lines form and push their way out; as they push outwards they may become broken and produce more lines, almost like a tree branching out.

Depending on the individual a spider vein will continue to grow and may look unsightly, in others they may remain small and have no growth pattern.

Spider vein is an accumulation of small broken blood vessels, that may become painful and can cause throbbing, aching, and a burning sensation.

Spider vein carries blood but it is not essential to the body’s circulatory system, for this reason if the presents of a spider vein become distressing, it can be treated with a solution injection that may reduce or remove them.

Spider vein solution is called sclerosing that is injected using a very fine needle into the unwanted blood vessel (spider vein).

Using this type of treatment, the solution irritates the lining of the vessel, causing it to swell and stick together, allowing the blood to coagulate, after a few weeks the treated spider vein (unwanted blood vessel) will turn into a scar, that will fade and become less noticeable or even disappear.

The size of the spider vein depends on the extent of treatment, some vein will need to be injected more than once, but in one treatment a number of vessels may be treated.
