What are spider veins?
Spider veins are small venous lesions that are highly visible through the surface of the skin. Often appearing red, blue, or purple, spider veins are more commonly found on the face and legs. Some common factors that may predispose someone to their development include:
- Family genetics
- Body weight
- Jobs or activities that may require great periods of standing
- Pregnancy
- Taking certain medications like birth control
- Certain medical conditions that place pressure on the abdomen such as constipation or tumors
While spider veins aren’t a cause for medical concern, seeing them through your skin can stir up feelings of self-consciousness. Sclerotherapy, one of our most requested spider vein treatments can help fade unwanted vascular lesions so you can feel greater comfort towards your aesthetic.
What is sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a safe and effective spider vein treatment that has been in practice for more than 70 years. During this treatment, one of our specialists administers a salt-based solution into the veins of the designated area. This solution breaks down vascular lesions, which the body naturally reroutes blood flow to other nearby veins and gradually fades the treated ones from view.
Am I a good candidate for spider vein treatments?
Virtually anyone self-conscious of the appearance of spider veins may consider our spider vein treatments. However, women who are pregnant or nursing at the time of their appointment may be referred to alternative options. Additionally, those who are diagnosed with a severe medical condition such as heart disease or cancer may not be suitable for these treatments.
