The Treatment
So how do you get rid of spider veins? Here at our medspa, you can get spider vein treatment in Scottsdale with our Sclerotherapy treatment. What is Sclerotherapy? Sclerotherapy is a treatment that involves collapsing/cauterizing the spider vein. The treatment is a saline solution that causes the lining of the blood vessel to be irritated and then ultimately causes the blood vessel to collapse. As time goes on the vessel is absorbed into the body’s bloodstream and then disappears. You’ll go back to how your skin looked before it was overrun with spider veins!
The amount of spider vein treatments in Scottsdale that you will need will vary from person to person depending on the severity of the spider veins. A minimum of eight weeks is needed in between treatments. Following treatments, you’ll need little to no downtime and you’ll be able to go back to your normal day to day routine, however, there is no prolonged standing after treatments.
