Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is the most common treatment for spider veins today. Non-surgical in nature, this treatment utilizes a sclerosant — or chemical-based irritant — which is injected into the spider veins. As it irritates the lining of the afflicted blood vessels, they will collapse and cause the blood flow to be rerouted through the healthier veins nearby. Thus, the body’s blood circulation is improved and surface-level blemishes are reduced or eliminated.

On average, patients require about two to five treatments overall before the sclerotherapy process is complete.
