Spider Veins

Individuals, both women and men, who have visible spider veins on their faces are good candidates for treatment, which can effectively minimize or eliminate these veins. 

Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure involving the injection of a solution into the spider or small varicose veins to collapse them. It redirects blood flow to healthier veins. The treated vein then fades over time as the solution is absorbed by the body.

The laser treatment for spider veins involves tracing the veins with a laser beam. The beam damages the internal lining of the vessels, which eventually collapses and disappears. Multiple sessions are often required for complete removal.

Sclerotherapy and laser treatments do not require anesthesia. The procedures are relatively quick, and patients can return to normal activities shortly afterward. In sclerotherapy, the solution is injected directly into the veins, while in laser treatment, a laser beam is used to treat the veins.

Post-treatment, the skin may be red for a few hours. Some patients may experience purple dots or blisters that generally clear within two to three weeks. Usually, treated veins fade within a few weeks, but in some cases, it may take a month or more to achieve full results.

The number of treatments required can vary. Some spider veins may disappear after a single session, but multiple treatments are typically needed for complete clearance, especially for extensive or stubborn veins.
