Answer: Choosing between different varicose vein and spider vein treatments It’s important to distinguish between varicose veins and spider veins when choosing between laser therapy, sclerotherapy, and vein surgery. With two board certified vein specialists, our center uses a combination of visual examination, functional flow measurements, ultrasound, transillumination, and infrared light to map out vein networks prior to therapy. Lasers can be used to treat deep varicose vein insufficiency, vein perforators, and varicose veins. Sclerotherapy is ideal for spider veins and reticular veins. Whereas surgery is reserved for severely incompetent varicose vein segments.

Answer: PRP and varicose veins PRP is not recommended for the treatment of varicose veins. Platelet rich plasma, essentially 'plasma' is derived from your own blood and does not cause closure or clotting of the varicose veins. As you can imagine, plasma normally runs in the veins and the arteries of your body.
