Sclerotherapy (collapse varicose veins)
Description
A procedure to remove unsightly spider veins and varicose veins. A chemical called a sclerosing solution is injected into the veins causing them to collapse and contract. The procedure is best suited for medium sized spider veins and larger since a needle must be inserted into the vein. It may require multiple treatments for the desired effect.
