By the time we’re mature adults, almost everyone will see spider veins on their legs. If it’s not caused by lifestyle, it’s caused by aging. As inevitable as that sounds, do you have to put up with their appearance?

Take this quick read about your spider vein treatment for the fast facts on fixing them for good.
What are spider veins?
Spider veins are veins where blood has backed up and is pooling in the vein. This can be caused by vein wall damage and/or valve damage.
How does sclerotherapy work?
Your Florida Lakes Vein Center provider injects a liquid called a sclerosant into the spider vein. This causes the walls to collapse, sealing off the vein and sending the blood flow to healthy veins. Over the next few weeks, your body absorbs the collapsed vein, and it’s no longer visible.
How many sclerotherapy sessions will I need?
The number depends on the size of the veins and how much they’ve spread. Most clients require more than one spider vein treatment in North Port, FL. During your consultation, our examination will give you a better idea of how many sessions you may need.
Is sclerotherapy painful?
The injections can cause slight discomfort. Most of our clients describe the injections as having a quick “pinch” sensation. However, we work quickly, and with over 10,000 clients treated, we have become experts.

How much does it cost?

Will insurance cover it?
You will need to check with your insurance provider for coverage information.
Is there a better time to have sclerotherapy?
The best time is when you need it. However, patients can experience side effects from sclerotherapy that can include a temporary aching, itching, or a burning sensation. Sun and heat can aggravate these symptoms. If possible, you may want to schedule your sclerotherapy for the winter months.
Also, you should refrain from strenuous activity for a few weeks after your sclerotherapy to help ensure there’s no re-dilation of the closed veins. Warmer temperatures encourage activities, so cooler weather can help here too.
How long does it take for results to show?
The spider veins that respond to treatment should start to permanently disappear in 3 to 6 weeks.
