Over time, whether due to aging, weight gain, pregnancy or genetics the appearance of the tiny red and blue spider veins or the larger, snake-like appearing varicose veins develop. Sometimes they are painful and cause skin breakdown whereupon a vascular surgeon is required to perform invasive treatment, however the majority of the time these veins are simply a cosmetic problem for which the solution is simple and quick.
With a simple 10 minute, pain free procedure, those unsightly veins in your legs can be eliminated. There is truly no down time. The treatment can be done during a lunch break. You can return to work right afterwards. There are no restrictions and you can resume your normal activity the same day.
The procedure is a simple one whereby a sclerosing agent (Sotradecol) is injected into the tiny veins. Immediately you can see the veins disappear. It's truly exciting to watch. Patients are always fascinated at how quick the results can be. Sotradecol is the only FDA approved sclerotherapy agent to be used in the United States.
