Schlerotherapy Spider Vein Removal Toronto

Spider veins are thin superficial capillaries most commonly seen on the legs and face. They can appear as red or purple in colour and as strands or clusters.

These dilated capillaries are often provoked by sun exposure, pressure, hormonal changes and heredity, to name some common influences. For instance, many women tend to develop leg veins after pregnancy due to increased pressure and hormonal changes or those with rosacea tend to have a weak capillary network under the skin which is often genetic. Some individuals develop a red flushed complexion due to over use or abuse of harsh skin care products while others develop red broken capillaries around the nose due to aggressive extraction. Although the exact cause is often unknown, these spider veins can be effectively treated with the appropriate techonology.

How Sclerotherapy Works

Sclerotherapy is a procedure which is used to treat spider veins and varicous veins. Sclerotherapy involves using a tiny needle to administer a solution which causes the vein to collapse resulting in the vein disappearing. Sclerotherapy is often combined with laser for tiny spider veins which are less than 1 mm in thickness. Normally 2 to 5 treatments are required for best results. Results are visible 2 to 8 weeks post treatment. Most clients will achieve anywhere from 60 -90% improvement. Schlerotherapy is suitable for all skin types!
