Varicose veins
Do unsightly spider veins keep you on the sidelines? Are you uncomfortable or self conscious when you wear shorts or a bathing suit?
Those cluster of blue and purple spider veins can be permanently eliminated with an easy office procedure called injection therapy. A tiny needle is used to inject an irrigating solution directly into the veins causing them to close and simply disappear. Injection therapy is the most effective treatment available for spider veins. It works just as well for spider veins in the face, neck and upper chest as it does in the legs. For many people, only three to four treatments are needed to remove all their spider veins.
Spider veins are tiny veins just under the skin, most commonly found on the legs. They affect a large percentage of the population. The most important reason that they occur is heredity. They may be red, blue, or purple, and are commonly found on the thighs, the inside of the calves, and on the back on the knees. Spider veins can cause burning, itching, and a feeling of heaviness in the legs. However, the overwhelming number of female patients with this condition seek treatment because of the embarrassment of wearing skirts, shorts, and bathing suits.
Treatment can be as easy as an office visit, without any restrictions on the patient's activities. Naturally, the results are best when performed by a physician with a great deal of experience recognizing and treating all types of spider veins on every part of the body. When seeking treatment for spider veins, it is important to choose a doctor who has the proper training and experience, and who performs treatment on a regular basis.
