Review Spider vein removal
Ask your question
  • Spider vein removal, or Sclerotherapy (frequently mistyped as scelerotherapy), is a minimally-invasive treatment for reducing the appearance of spider veins.
  • Sclerotherapy chemicals are injected directly into your vein. This causes irritation and inflammation inside the vein and leads to clotting and closure of the vein.
  • With no blood flowing, the veins clot and "bruise" and when they heal they become less visible and are replaced by scar tissue.
  • Sclerotherapy provider promise:  According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, "Sclerotherapy can enhance your appearance and your self confidence, but it's unrealistic to believe that every affected vein will disappear completely as a result of treatment. After each sclerotherapy session, the veins will appear lighter. Two or more sessions are usually required to achieve optimal results."
