Visible varicose and spider veins on the skin’s surface can often be unsightly and often cause self-consciousness, or even embarrassment. This visible discomfort is even more prevalent during the summer months when it’s time to wear shorts and swimsuits. Beyond visible issues, problem veins can oftentimes become painful and eventually hinder your ability to live life to its fullest.
Varicose veins are typically characterized by pain, itching, discoloration, and sometimes cramping. Spider veins are smaller and less severe than varicose veins. Varicose veins are more prevalent in women than in men, despite the fact that anyone can develop them. If you suffer from varicose or spider veins, the expert staff at Moksha Dermatology in Cincinnati, Ohio can help eliminate your vein problems with Sclerotherapy.
Pregnancy, aging, and obesity can increase the likelihood of developing varicose veins and spider veins. Varicose veins and spider veins are frequently painless and rarely cause health complications.
There are numerous risk factors for varicose veins and spider veins. These consist of:
Weak or damaged valves in your veins can result in varicose veins. Your heart pumps oxygenated and nutrient-rich blood throughout your body via your arteries. The veins then return the blood from the body to the heart. The buildup of blood can cause spider veins. They can also be caused by hormonal fluctuations, sun exposure, and injuries.
The primary objective of Sclerotherapy is to alleviate the symptoms of spider and varicose veins, as well as to improve the physical appearance of the impacted area. Beyond the physical impact of spider and varicose veins, you may feel self-conscious about your appearance. Typically visible veins have long been associated with signs of aging, and having problem veins treated can result in a more youthful appearance.
Sclerotherapy is a non-surgical medical treatment offered at Moksha Dermatology for eliminating varicose and spider veins. In the Sclerotherapy treatment, a solution (typically a salt solution) is injected directly into the vein. The solution that is used causes the blood vessels to collapse and clot by irritating their inner lining. Over time, the vessel transforms into scar tissue and becomes invisible. Sclerotherapy is a tried-and-true method that has been utilized since the 1930s.
As we inject the veins during Sclerotherapy, you may feel small needle pricks. Patients usually express minimal to no discomfort during this treatment. Additionally, you may experience temporary muscle cramping. Following the procedure, you will need to wear compression stockings for a few weeks to achieve optimal results.
Many insurance providers will cover the expense of varicose vein treatment, but not always treatment for spider veins. Before considering options for treatment, it is important to check with your insurance provider to see what is covered under your plan.
