Ever since losing weight & working out more, the varicose veins on my left calf/knee have become more prominent and painful. I finally decided to pay the money & get serious treatment for them (compression socks alone helped with the pain, but not with how they looked). I just had it... Read more

With summer coming, I decided to try spider vein treatment to remove small veins on the front of my right leg. I had some very small veins on my upper thights, but they did not concern me as you can't see them when wearing shorts or skirts. I made an appointment at Decatur Vein Center in... Read more

I had sclerotherapy on 04/03/09, but I can still see the veins, how fast should I see results. I started seeing a small spider vein since I was 15yrs old, but didn't know that there was a solution to my spider veins till now that I am 32, that is why I barely went. But I am getting desperate to... Read more

I am 44 years old (45 in July) and I had vein stripping in my late 20's... Back then they were actual surgeries (with general anesthesia)... off from work for 2 weeks at a time for each leg and there was no schlerotherapy so after all of that pain and suffering (not to mention the thousands of...

My first visit was a consultation at Vein Innovations involved an ultrasound to determine if spider veins were my only problem. I conferred with Dr Frank Ferrier and we discussed possible treatment. He was most congenial and answered my questions patiently. We agreed on sclerotherapy and the... Read more

Had a some small spider veins on my lower thigh. The spider veins were few but I thought I would do the treatment before it got worse. I am an active person and I excercise regularly. My diet is good. I have no history of varicose or spider veins in the family. Before I saw the nurse, an... Read more

Back in 2012, I was looking for a specialist who could take care of ugly spider veins in my legs and found Dr. Raffy doing a google search. I had tried to get rid of these spider veins for a long time but no doctor was ever able to get the job done. I spent a lot of money with several doctors... Read more

From two pregnancies, my body went through many negative changes. Although I lost the weight, my legs looked like a roadmap of bulging blue veins and red and brown spider capillaries, and it often felt like my leg muscles would cramp or be sore for inexplicable reasons. I was told I needed... Read more

I have been undergoing sclerotherapy for many years. I go once a year and have polidoconal injections and my legs look great for the summer. I have very weak veins, and I have found that if you have weak veins, you have to return for follow up treatments. I am extremely happy with the results.... Read more

Have been wanting to do this for a long time; sorry I waited. Great process with minimal pain and no downtime...and it works..results can be seen immediately. Three sessions spaced 4-6 wk apart. I am glad to be rid of big veins, but some small ones remain that I can live with. This procedure was... Read more

I had many ugly leg veins, mostly in my lower legs on both sides. I had tried sclerotherapy many years ago, but found it at that time to be rather painful so I was reluctant to have another treatment as my veins continued to get worse. When I talked to a friend of mine who went to Dr. Gotvald, I... Read more

I had spider veins appearing on the backs of my knees and up the sides of my calves but was nervous about sclerotherapy because I heard it was painful. This was so much easier than expected! Dr. Weishar used a glycerin solution and it wasn't nearly as painful as saline is supposed to be. The... Read more

I had one slightly bulging vein, several flat blue veins, and several small red spider veins. The slightly bulging vein was the only thing that foam sclero took care of. I have in its place some hyperpigmentation and some little red spider veins. The flat blue veins did not go away, but instead,... Read more

I am not needle phobic and believe I have an above average tolerance of pain, however, the nurse who gave me several sclerotherapy injections in my feet and ankles truly cause momentary but intense pain while injecting.

I have spider veins and one slightly bumpy pre-varicose vein. During the first session, I had my entire legs injected (approximately 20 injections) where the veins showed, and the doctor also injected a vein behind my knee he said was 'pre-varicose'. The result was that there was NO... Read more

I have had scherotherapy twice and some veins were greatly improved, others not so much. Vitamin K is a thickening agent. It makes veins thicker. If this is the problem, then vitamin K will work. It is great for treating bruising. If the problem is the valves in the veins, then vitamin K... Read more
