Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment used to treat spider veins. Sclerotherapy is used to improve the cosmetic appearance of spider veins and to relieve some of the symptoms associated with spider veins, including aching, burning, swelling and night cramps. It is the primary treatment for small veins in the legs.
Spider veins are small, visible blood vessels that often form close to the surface of the skin. Most commonly found on the legs and face, they may appear red, blue, or purple and are often shaped like thin lines, webs, or branches. While they are generally harmless, many people seek treatment for cosmetic reasons or to relieve discomfort such as itching or burning.
Every year, millions of new cases of skin cancer are diagnosed, making it one of the most common types of cancer in the world. A significant contributor to this statistic is prolonged and unprotected exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun.
