Do you have a question?
Varicose Veins: Large varicose veins that are seen only by ultrasound can be injected under ultrasound guidance with a sclerosant that has been agitated into a foam. Most patients have more varicose veins seen only by ultrasound than bulging varicose veins. This treatment is covered by insurance.
Spider Veins: Spider veins are most effectively treated with sclerotherapy injections. Our treatment sessions last 25 minutes and during that time we injected as many veins as possible. For the next couple weeks the veins actually look a little darker and patients get some bruising. Over the next month the veins fade. Larger, darker clusters will require more than one treatment. Most patients require 3-5 treatments but this will vary with every patient.
