Spider Veins
Spider veins can be found in different areas of the leg and sometimes on the arms and face. They form a network under the skin that looks like a spider’s web. That is also where their name originates from. Small spider veins are of a rather bright red color.
Larger dilated veins are called reticular veins and have a bluish color.
When found on the legs spider veins mostly represent a merely aesthetic problem that can be removed in most cases by injections.
Spider veins are not only a sign of aging but younger individuals with a genetic predisposition might acquire them.
During pregnancy, or if additional risk factors such as an occupation that involves extensive standing and/or sitting or overweight are present, the likelihood for the development of spider veins increases.
Our leg vein sclerotherapy treatment employs precise injections to target spider veins. Dr. Minuk's expertise ensures that the sclerosing solution is accurately administered to the affected veins, leading to their gradual disappearance.
Sclerotherapy is the ‘Gold Standard’ Treatment for Spider Leg Veins
In many cases, spider veins are harmless and tend to be an aesthetic concern.
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment that involves injecting a salt and sugar solution into the spider veins.
The injected solution irritates the veins and subsequently removed by the body’s immune system
Customized Approach:
Dr. Minuk tailors each leg vein sclerotherapy treatment to your unique needs. Whether you're concerned about isolated spider veins or larger clusters, his approach is personalized to achieve optimal results.
BEFORE TREATMENT:
Before undergoing leg vein sclerotherapy, you'll have a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Minuk. He will assess your leg veins, discuss your medical history, and determine your suitability for the procedure. You may be advised to avoid blood-thinning medications and certain activities before the treatment.
Generally, patients have a treatment immediately following consultation. Please bring a pair of shorts to wear for each session, avoid Aspirin, Advil, Naproxen, blood thinners for a week and shave the legs a day before
AFTER TREATMENT:
Following leg vein sclerotherapy, a compression stocking is applied over the treatment area(s) and to be removed at bedtime. While some mild discomfort and bruising may occur, these effects usually subside within a few days. Over the weeks following treatment, you'll notice a gradual fading of the treated spider veins. Treatments can be scheduled every 1-4 weeks as needed.
