Sclerotherapy - Vein Treatment

Spider veins are a reality for millions of Americans. Luckily, these unsightly problems can be treated - with saline injections.

When the valves in your veins weaken or malfunction, this causes the blood that normally flows toward your heart to collect in the valve areas. The result of this are spider veins, which literally look like blue or red spiders just below the skin's surface, and can appear in the face as well as the legs.

Many factors can cause spider veins including:

• Blood flow during pregnancy
• Exposure to the sun on fair skin
• Heredity
• Obesity
• Standing for long periods of time

While it is possible to avoid most causes of spider veins, we often see patients for whom professional treatment is unavoidable.

Our treatment is a cosmetic procedure not filed to insurance. The cost is $250 which covers 2 cc's for both legs.
