Varicose/Spider Vein Treatment
A medical procedure that treats varicose veins and spider veins
Sclerotherapy is a quick and easy treatment for spider veins and small varicose veins. The physician or nurse injects a sclerosing agent into the vein, causing the vein to become inflamed. There is minimal pain associated with the procedure; the needle feels like a light pinprick. After healing, the vein is less visible! It is important to note that sclerotherapy does not remove the vein itself — it only removes its appearance.
