| Millions of people are bothered by spider veins Spider veins are those small yet unsightly clusters of red, blue or purple veins that most commonly appear on the thighs, calves and ankles. In fact, it's estimated that at least half of the adult female population is plagued with this common cosmetic problem. Sclerotherapy can enhance your appearance and your self confidence. Dr. P. Alexander Ataii, Medical Director at Laser Cliniqe in San Diego, is treating spider veins with a non-invasive technique called, Sclerotherapy. Sclerotherapy is a popular method for the elimination of varicose veins and superficial telangiectasis (spider veins) in which a solution called a sclerosing agent is injected into the veins. In this rather simple procedure, veins are injected with a sclerosing solution, which causes them to collapse and fade from view. The procedure may also remedy the bothersome symptoms associated with spider veins, including aching, burning, swelling and night cramps. Many people don't know the difference between Spider Veins and Varicose Veins. Spider veins - known in the medical world as telangiectasis - are small, thin veins that lie close to the surface of the skin. Although these super-fine veins are connected with the larger venous system, they are not an essential part of it. Varicose veins differ from spider veins in a number of ways. Varicose veins are larger - usually more than a quarter-inch in diameter, darker in color and tend to bulge. Varicose veins are also more likely to cause pain and be related to more serious vein disorders. For some patients, sclerotherapy can be used to treat varicose veins. The number of treatments needed to clear or improve the condition differs from patient to patient, depending on the extents of varicose and spider veins present. Usually, 1-2 treatments may be needed but more severe cases may need additional treatments. With Sclerotherapy, there is no downtime. You will be required to wear tight-fitting prescription support hose to guard against blood clots and to promote healing for one week. The prescription support hose will be provided to you by Laser Cliniqe. Call Laser Cliniqe now at (858) 481-7701 to schedule a consultation with Dr. P.
