How to get rid of a lot of little spider veins?

I have had the sclerotherapy treatment for the spider veins twice. My doctor originally recommended that it might take 3 treatments but I had good results with the first one and didn't go back for a year or two. The treatment is only mildly painful and heals quite quickly. The doctor does not inject each little vein but looks for the mother vein so to speak and works from there. Usually many small branches can be treated with one injection. I found this treatment to be very effective, and not too expensive. You can also use a lotion by Dr. Perricone but this is topical cosmetic only treatment. It will not permanently treat them. You can of course get new ones even after you've been treated at the doctors office. I' ve been very happy with the results and would do it again.

In my office, we offer both sclerotherapy and laser for small viens. For leg viens between 1 to 4 mm, Sclerotherapy is the best treatment option. Multiple small viens usually are connected to each other and the connection can be visualised with a special light and magnifying lamp. In one sitting we can treat a relatively large area with fewer injections than you would anticipate by injecting the right place.

Most of the small spider viens in the network disappear with just a few key injections. I sometimes do a laser touchup for very tiny viens if they persist after a couple of treatments. The key to having good long lasting results is the post injection care. It is essential to not let high venous pressure develop in the treated area for a few days after the injection.

For viens larger than 4 mm, surgical excision is a better option. Obviously, you need be evaluated by an expert for the best treatment course for you. Your general medical health, any concomitant medical conditions will be a consideration before injection sclerotharapy is considered.
