What is the best spider vein treatment in New York?

 Vein doctors from numerous top vein clinics share the same opinion – Sclerotherapy is the best procedure currently available to treat spider veins on your legs.

But what exactly is sclerotherapy?

This is a small, minimally invasive technique that is used to treat your spider veins. Basically, the vein doctor injects a small amount of medicated solution into the spider veins. The needles used for the injection procedure are really, really tiny – after all, they are meant to easily fit into the blood vessels. Therefore, this procedure is a lot more comfortable than you would expect.

How does sclerotherapy work?

The medicated solution injected into your spider veins is called sclerosant. This is a liquid that irritates the lining of the vein. This causes it to collapse inward, and the vein walls stick together, cutting off blood flow in the vein. Since blood is no longer keeping the vein open, it shrinks and eventually disappears. After you have sclerotherapy, the spider vein slowly starts to fade from view, and completely disappears in about a month.

Wondering how to get rid of the unsightly spider veins on your legs? Find out which spider vein treatment in New York can help you the most.

Why is sclerotherapy treatment the best option for spider veins?

You may have heard of other options for spider vein treatment. Home remedies. Massages. Dietary changes. Unfortunately, there is no proof that any of these methods actually works at all. On the other hand, there is plenty of evidence that shows that sclerotherapy can permanently get rid of spider veins.

What about laser vein treatment or blue light treatment? They are offered by several beauty spas, as well as vein clinics. This may seem an attractive option, as they do not involve needles.

While laser can shrink spider veins to some extent, they are definitely not as effective as sclerotherapy. You will need at least three to four laser sessions to match the results achieved by a single sclerotherapy session – this eventually costs you both time and money. Also, laser light may not actually be more comfortable as compared to the tiny needles used in sclerotherapy – you may feel a burning sensation when it is used.

Is sclerotherapy treatment enough for spider veins?

To answer this question, you need to consider what is actually causing your spider veins. For some people, the exact cause may not be known, but for most people, spider veins occur due to a condition called venous insufficiency. In this condition, blood from the leg veins does not go back properly to the heart, and backs up, putting pressure on the vein walls. The pressure damages the tinier veins, which then become spider veins. So, it would not be enough to just treat your spider veins – you will have to treat the larger faulty leg veins to ensure that the spider veins don’t re-form again.

But how do you know if you have venous insufficiency? Here are a few signs to look out for:

  • Varicose veins: Larger veins, higher up in your leg, can become swollen under pressure and take on a twisted appearance: If you have these, you will need varicose veins treatment as well.
  • Painful symptoms: Throbbing pain in your leg or sudden crams could be a sign of venous insufficiency. After sitting or standing for long periods of time, your feet and ankles may become swollen.
  • A cluster of spider veins: If you have multiple spider veins, especially on the inner part of your ankle, this could be a sign of venous insufficiency.

If you have any of the above features, be sure to report it to your vein specialist. Your vein doctor will a duplex ultrasound to check the pattern of blood flow in your leg veins. An abnormal blood flow pattern would indicate that you have venous insufficiency.
