Veins Treatment- Sclerotherapy
It is estimated that 1/3 of American women suffer from spider veins in some degree. Spider veins can be red, blue, or purple veins that lie immediately below or on the skin’s surface. Spider veins are commonly found on the thighs, calves, and ankles, but may be seen in other locations like the face or chest.
Spider veins usually appear as one of three patterns or shapes
  • Spider pattern with veins radiating out from a central point
  • Tree or branch-like structure usually seen on the anterior and lateral thighs
  • Thin, separate lines typically seen on the medial thigh and inner knees
Contributing Factors for Spider Veins
  • Heredity – Most people who have spider veins, have a close relative who has them as well.
  • Pregnancy – Women often develop spider veins with pregnancy due to hormonal influence, the increase blood volume, and increased pressure on your blood vessels.
  • Gender – Women are more likely than men to suffer from spider veins and more likely to care!
