What Are They?
Nearly half of all men and women experience these vein abnormalities, which are typically found in the legs and feet. Contributing factors include prolonged sitting or standing, pregnancy, aging, and weight. Here’s a closer look at the different types of veins:
- Varicose Veins: Large, bulging blue or dark purple veins in the legs.
- Spider Veins: Red or purple veins close to the skin’s surface; visible but do not bulge.
- Reticular Veins: Bluish-green veins that are larger than spider veins but do not swell like varicose veins.
Effective Treatment Options
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a syringe to inject a sclerosing solution into the affected vein. This solution causes the vein to shrink and eventually be absorbed by the body, rendering it invisible. The treatment is quick, often lasting just a few minutes, allowing most patients to resume their regular activities shortly after.
We collaborate with your physician to provide customized compound solutions such as Glycerin and Sodium Tetradecyl, ensuring you receive the best care for your varicose veins.
