Spider Veins/Sclerotherapy

Understanding Spider Veins and Sclerotherapy

Are you concerned about those visible, web-like veins on your legs or face? You’re not alone. Many individuals experience spider veins, which, though generally harmless, can affect your confidence and self-esteem. At Aspire Medical Aesthetics, we offer effective solutions to help you regain smooth, clear skin.

What Are Spider Veins?

Spider veins, also known as telangiectasias, are small, dilated blood vessels that appear near the surface of the skin. They often resemble a spider web, hence the name. These veins can be red, blue, or purple and typically occur on the legs and face.

While they are usually a cosmetic concern, they can sometimes indicate underlying vein issues. Understanding their causes and potential treatments is crucial for managing them effectively.

Causes of Spider Veins

Spider veins can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

Genetics: Family history plays a significant role in the development of spider veins.

Age: As you age, your veins may weaken and become more visible.

Hormonal changes: Pregnancy, menopause, and hormonal therapy can contribute to their development.

Sun exposure: Excessive sun exposure can damage the skin and veins, leading to spider veins.

Prolonged standing or sitting: Occupations that require long periods of standing or sitting can increase pressure in the veins.

Sclerotherapy: A Proven Treatment for Spider Veins

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure that has been used for decades to treat spider veins. At Aspire Medical Aesthetics, our experienced healthcare providers perform this procedure with precision and care.

How Sclerotherapy Works?

During the procedure, a solution is injected directly into the affected veins. This solution irritates the lining of the vein, causing it to collapse and eventually fade from view. The body naturally absorbs the treated vein over time, leaving you with clearer skin.

Benefits of Sclerotherapy

Effective: Sclerotherapy has a high success rate in reducing or eliminating spider veins.

Quick and convenient: Treatments typically take less than an hour, and you can return to your normal activities almost immediately.

Minimal discomfort: Most patients experience only mild discomfort during the procedure.

Long-lasting results: Once the treated veins are absorbed, they are unlikely to reappear.
