About Sclerotherapy Spider Vein Treatment
Sclerotherapy is a popular, minimally invasive procedure for both the treatment of smaller varicose veins as well as spider veins. Sclerotherapy spider vein treatment involves injecting polidocanol directly into the vein itself, causing it to constrict, close and eventually fade from view. Blood flow is then re-routed to healthier veins, leaving legs looking younger and more aesthetically pleasing.
Following your sclerotherapy treatment with Chesapeake vein specialist and vein doctor, Dr. Surya Challa, your small varicose veins or spider veins will disappear in a matter of weeks, though occasionally it may take up to a month to see optimal results.
Several sclerotherapy treatments may be recommended to achieve your desired aesthetic result. This treatment does not involve anesthesia and, because it is generally considered cosmetic, may not be covered by insurance.
