Spider Veins and
Varicose Veins are very superficial veins which
have been damaged so that they no longer can pass
blood effectively. The blood pools in these veins
and may appear red, blue, or purple in color. These
unsightly veins may appear as a result of a number
of factors, including pregnancy, being on your feet
for long periods of time, weight gain,or simply
genetics.

 HOW
ARE SPIDER VEINS AND VARICOSE VEINS TREATED |
| |
In our facility,
we combine lasers with the use of injections of
chemicals (sclerotherapy) to treat all small veins
from 0.5 to 4 mm in diameter.
The larger veins are treated with sclerotherapy
first, and those small veins that remain are treated
with an Nd:YAG laser. After the initial treatment
with chemical injections the larger veins are sealed
and sometimes smaller veins are also closed. For
those veins that remain open, a laser is used to
seal the remaining veins. The results lead to gradual
improvement and the process may take from one to
four months for complete or nearly complete clearance
to occur.
