Spider Veins
Millions of women are bothered by spider veins - those small yet unsightly clusters of red, blue or purple veins that most commonly appear on the thighs, calves and ankles. Today, spider veins can be treated with a combination of sclerotherapy and a vascular laser that specifically targets the veins and causes them to seal so that the blood stops flowing though them. They subsequently fade. The procedure may also remedy the bothersome symptoms associated with spider veins, including aching, burning, swelling and night cramps.

Spider veins usually take on one of three basic patterns. They may appear in a true spider shape with a group of veins radiating outward from a dark central point; they may be arborizing and will resemble tiny branch-like shapes; or they may be simple linear and appears as thin separate lines

Both sclerotherapy and the laser treatments are relatively simply procedures that require no anesthesia and are performed at The Aesthetics Institute.
