Sclerotherapy Treatment for Spider Veins
At The Vein Clinic of Washington we offer professional sclerotherapy as part of our comprehensive array of vein care services. Sclerotherapy is used to treat small, superficial diseased veins.
Sclerotheraphy Treatment
Our sclerotherapist uses an extremely fine needle to inject a sclerosant medication directly into the target vein and its branches. The sclerosant causes the treated veins to collapse, and has the visual effect of causing the veins to disappear. We also assess for and treat the underlying cause of these superficial varicosities before we recommend sclerotherapy. The sclerotherapy treatment itself is much more effective and the results much longer lasting when a healthy circulatory pattern has been restored by the correction of underlying reflux.
If the cause of the small superficial varicosities or “spider veins” has not been addressed, these varicosities can and do reappear. Sclerotherapy services have been offered by a variety of medical subspecialists. While this treatment is very effective, many patients note that the veins reappear some months later in the region close to where treatment occurred. Often this is the case because the underlying source of venous reflux has not been treated. As a courtesy to our patients we highly recommend a through assessment for the underlying cause of these superficial varicosities or “spider veins”.
