Spider Vein Therapy

Spider Vein Therapy is a minimally invasive treatment that produces maximum results. Get your legs to look their best at any age.

What Are Spider Veins? Spider Veins are dilated small blood vessels that have a red or bluish color. They appear mostly on the legs, occasionally on the face or elsewhere.

Spider Vein Therapy is used to treat unwanted spider veins. A sclerosing solution is injected with a fine needle directly into the blood vessel. This procedure has been used for spider veins since the 1930's and before that for larger veins. Over a period of weeks, the vessel turns into scar tissue that fades, eventually becoming barely noticeable or invisible. A single blood vessel may have to be injected more than once, several weeks apart, depending on its size. Many veins can be treated in one session.

How Successful Is This Therapy? After several treatments, most clients can expect a 50% to 90% improvement. Fading is a gradual process.
