Those Terrible Veins

Veins, a very important part of the human circulatory system, often become diseased. The veins that become cosmetically unappealing are spider veins (telanglectasia’s) and larger veins, which often protrude under the skin called varicose veins. Both forms are treatable. Sclerotherapy involves the injection of a “sclerosing” fluid into the vessel to irritate the inner lining and cause closure. Once the vessel has closed, blood does not pass through, making the vessel invisible. Often achieved with one treatment, although secondary treatments are possible.

Segmental vein resection is reserved for longer varicose veins in which Sclerotherapy would not be practical. These veins are removed in segments through small punctures in the skin along the course of the vessel. Each procedure are highly effective.
