Spider & Varicose Vein Treatment Center near Greenwood Lake, NY

(Offers a detailed explanation of sclerotherapy and how it works to treat spider veins and varicose veins)

Are you considering sclerotherapy for your spider or varicose veins and would like to learn more about it?

Sclerotherapy is the most common form of treatment used for both spider veins and varicose veins, and it is extremely successful at treating these conditions with very minor inconvenience to the patient. If you are considering treatment for your spider or varicose veins, you have likely heard about sclerotherapy but may be interested in more information. To learn more about this effective treatment technique, contact the Premiere Vein Center of Greenwood Lake, NY, or read through the brief overview below.

To conduct a sclerotherapy procedure, your doctor will insert a liquid chemical into your problem veins through a small thin needle. The chemical is designed to cause the walls of the vein to swell, stick together, and shut off the vein. When the flow of blood is stopped, the vein turns into scar tissue and is eventually reabsorbed by the body. For both varicose veins and spider veins, the problem vein typically fades away after a few weeks. Because the procedure does not require anesthesia, it can be completed in a doctor’s office and you can return to your normal activities immediately after.

The possible side effects of sclerotherapy include:

  • Red, raised, or bruised patches of skin at the site of the injection. These will typically go away shortly after treatment.
  • Brown lines, fine red blood vessels, or spots around the treated vein. These marks also go away shortly after treatment.
  • Small clumps of blood that get trapped in the vein and swell. This side effect is not dangerous and your doctor can quickly drain the trapped blood at a follow-up appointment.

If you would like to learn more about sclerotherapy and see if might be an effective treatment for your spider veins or varicose veins, call the Premiere Vein Center of Greenwood Lake, NY.
