Hi there. I have a single prominent vein down my shin - super ugly and especially noticeable as I’m pale skinned. I’ve tried covering with fake tan but it’s still super noticeable. What treatment could I have to remove please?

Answer: Vein Treatment Thank you for your photo. Sclerotherapy might be a good option to treat your veins. Sclerotherapy treatment involves an injection of a chemical that will cause your vein to contract and become scarred internally. The vein will disappear from your body after some time. Generally, it takes about 8-10 weeks for the vein to disappear. For more information, I recommend getting a in person consultation from a board-certified dermatologist.

Answer: Foam sclerotherapy This is a very common area to have prominent veins because there is very little subcutaneous fat overlying the shin. I treat this area with a single injection using foam sclerotherapy. The vein collapses and is absorbed by the body over 6-12 weeks. A single visit is usually sufficient to treat it. We do 3-4 a day.
