What it is
Sclerotherapy is a procedure that reduces the appearance of spider veins. A salt solution is injected into the vein and irritates its lining, causing it to clot; this forces the collected blood to travel out the small veins to healthier veins.
How it helps
This injectable procedure helps by diminishing the appearance of veins in the legs, which makes those who have them look aged beyond their years. In addition, sclerotherapy can help eliminate aching, swelling, burning, and night cramps for those who suffer from them.
What to expect
The procedure is minimally invasive, and results can be seen in a short amount of time, or within a month. It varies by patient. Anesthesia is generally not required and the procedure can take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour or more, depending on how extensive your spider veins are. You can and should walk around immediately after the procedure to get the blood flowing. If you are tired of hiding your legs because of unsightly veins, call Mad Peaches. You will be given a complimentary consultation at our Denver center for body and skin treatments, and an expert aesthetician will be pleased to walk you through the procedure.
