Although lasers can help selected cases of leg veins, the mainstay of our approach to treating unsightly "spider veins" is sclerotherapy. This involves injecting concentrated salt solution into these dark red vessels. Good results are obtained in 3-4 sessions, in most cases. Because salt is a natural component of the body, allergy is not a problem.
Sclerotherapy sessions generally last 30 minutes. Afterwards, patients wear support stockings for about 5 days, to maximize effectiveness.
Getting rid of superficial, unsightly blood vessels, does not impair leg circulation in any way—it just makes most legs look better!
Please call us in Andover and Boston area for a consultation to see if you can benefit from sclerotherapy or laser treatment of spider veins on your legs. |
