If you are suffering from spider veins, it may be difficult to know what to do about these blemishes. They may seem more like an annoyance than a condition, but the truth is that they can make you very reluctant to show your legs in any outfit. There is no reason to avoid a swimsuit this summer, however, because sclerotherapy may be just the treatment you need for spider vein removal. Let’s take a closer look at this procedure and how it can restore that youthful look to your legs.
What is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is an outpatient medical procedure that is generally performed by a certified medical professional to collapse the blood vessels that are causing the red lines that crisscross your legs. It works by injecting a solution directly into the spider vein. The solution makes the blood vessel eventually collapse into scar tissue that is the same shade as the surrounding skin and remarkably less noticeable than the spider vein. In time, the vein fades and can leave no trace that the spider veins were ever there.
What is a Sclerotherapy Procedure Like?
How the procedure will feel is a concern for virtually all patients undergoing sclerotherapy for the first time. It is not a lengthy procedure and is performed in the comfort of our office. Most patients tolerate the procedure very well. Recovery from this procedure is relatively simple, short and uneventful.

Thought about you in Hawaii

I can walk to my mail box again
by John Neumann, patient
Category: reviews“I had problems walking to my mail box when I went to Pacific Vein Care. Dr. Conti found I had vein reflux and artery problems in both of my legs. He did his normal vein procedure on one leg and a special procedure at the hospital on the other leg and corrected the artery problems at the same time. I am very happy with the results from the procedures done at Pacific Vein Care to correct both my veins and artery problems. I can walk to my mail box again and not have to stop and rest part way there.”
I am pleased to say my quality of life is back
by Barbara Hoffman, patient
Category: reviews“For thirty Years I have put up with leg pain, throbbing and swelling due to varicose veins. At 63 years old, I made a choice to have Radiofrequency Ablation therapy and I am pleased to say my quality of life is back. I can now take long walks, exercise and stand for long period of time without discomfort. I recently purchased a pair of tall stylish boots and I can actually zip them up because I no longer suffer from edema.”
The procedures were not hard to go through and the result was a tremendous relief.
by Wayne, patient
Category: reviews“I recently – April/May of 2012 – had VNUS procedures done on my right and left legs. Dr. Conti and his staff were superb in the diagnosis and treatment of my condition. The process was fully explained to me and were virtually pain free. There was some discomfort in the week or two after the procedures which were easily handled by over the counter pain medications. I was impressed with Dr. Conti’s knowledge and professionalism and would recommend anyone waiting to treat their varicose veins NOT to wait. The procedures were not hard to go through and the result was a tremendous relief.”
