What Is Sclerotherapy?
Spider veins, known medically as telangiectasia, can result from genetics, obesity, hormonal fluctuations, certain medications, blood clots, and some medical conditions. These veins often appear in red, purple, or blue hues, forming visible branching patterns on the legs and face. Dr. Joseph Grisafi and his skilled team offer sclerotherapy at Artery and Vein Institute in East Norriton, PA to reduce or remove spider veins on the body and face. This minimally invasive treatment requires no significant recovery time and can help you achieve a more even skin tone without concealing affected areas.
How Does Treatment for Spider Veins Work?
Sclerotherapy is performed as a quick, in-office procedure without the need for anesthesia. First, the targeted blood vessels are marked, and the skin is cleansed. A sclerosing solution is then injected into the vein using a fine-gauge needle, which causes the vein to shrink and eventually disappear. The process is repeated until all the affected veins are treated. After sclerotherapy injections, patients are usually advised to wear compression stockings to aid in blood flow and enhance the healing process. In some cases, it could take two or more sclerotherapy sessions to get your desired results. Follow-up treatments at Artery and Vein Institute will be scheduled as needed.
What Are the Benefits of Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy treatment at Artery and Vein Institute offers a range of cosmetic and health benefits, providing you with smoother, more balanced skin. Key advantages include:
- Reduced visibility and discoloration of spider veins
- Quick, simple treatment sessions
- A nonsurgical approach that avoids additional pigmentation or scarring
- A safe and effective procedure that yields reliable and timely results
Sclerotherapy cost varies, depending on the number of veins treated and sessions needed. Understanding the cost of treating spider veins helps you plan for this effective treatment. Dr. Grisafi and his team will provide a detailed cost estimate and discuss payment options during your consultation.
