| Reticular and Spider Veins |
| |
| Reticular and Spider Veins can also be effectively treated if they are symptomatic, giving rise to burning or pain, or if they are cosmetically disturbing. The feeder veins are closed with endovenous laser, and the superficial veins are closed with micro foam sclerotherapy. This involves injection of these veins with a chemical solution ( usually Polidocanol) through tiny gauge needles after making a foam out of it. Most patients need one or two sessions at a gap of about 6 weeks. |
