Spider veins, also called telangiectasias, are tiny visible vessels just underneath the skin. They develop most commonly on the face and legs.
There are two options for spider vein treatment are sclerotherapy and laser.Sclerotherapy involves injecting a liquid agent through a tiny needle directly into your spider veins, causing them to contract and collapse. They can be employed independently or in combination. Laser energy causes your spider veins to coagulate and shrink. Laser therapy is most effective for small and medium size spider vein. Where as larger vessels require sclerotherapy, endovascular laser or surgery.
