Even though there are numerous methods for getting rid of spider and varicose veins, sclerotherapy remains a solid option you should consider. The procedure utilizes an injectable liquid that causes either large or small visible veins to fade away after some time. This treatment has been around for several decades and tends to produce permanent results.
So if you have varicose or spider veins and they’re making you uncomfortable, it may be time to consider sclerotherapy. However, you must first get tested before having the treatment as sclerotherapy is not be suitable for everyone.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
If you are in good shape health-wise, there’s no reason why you cannot get rid of spider veins through sclerotherapy. However, the doctor will have to check where your veins are located. If one of your veins is deemed essential for a potential bypass surgery of the heart in the future, the doctor not be able to treat the affected vein. Unaffected veins can be removed without any problem.
Generally, over-all health is all you are required to have to undergo sclerotherapy. One session can take between 15 and 20 minutes and you’ll be asked not to do aerobic exercises for several days after the treatment. Additionally, you may require multiple sessions in order to remove spider veins as your doctor may decide to treat one vein at a time. There are instances where the doctor can treat more than one vein in a single session. Talk to your doctor to find out which treatment method is the safest and most effective for your case.
Pregnant Women
If you’re pregnant, it’s highly likely that your doctor will turn down your request for sclerotherapy as it can cause complications to you and your unborn child.
Underlying Illnesses
To prevent complications, your doctor may disqualify you if you have any underlying conditions. They may also not treat you if you’re currently taking certain prescription drugs like blood thinners, as they prevent blood from clotting normally.

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.”
