Q:
I hate the varicose and spider veins on my legs – they look so unflattering in shorts and swimsuits. How can I get rid of them?
A:
Try sclerotherapy! It’s low-cost, typically painless, highly effective, and scars or adverse effects are very rare. A small needle is used to inject the vein with a concentrated solution, collapsing it and turning it into scar tissue, which is reabsorbed by the body. (This can actually improve circulation, too!) For larger veins, we offer laser ablation – another minimally-invasive, relatively painless, inoffice procedure – which is often covered by insurance. We’d be happy to help make those embarrassing veins history – it’s time to show some leg! Have a question you’d like to ask? For more information, or to make an appointment, please call 480-4049888 or visit www.spectrumdermatology.com.
