SPIDER VEINS TREATMENTS - Calgary

LIQUID SCLEROTHERAPY (INJECTION THERAPY)

Liquid Sclerotherapy or injection therapy is the Gold Standard in treating spider veins. Treatment involves the injection of a specially developed salt, sugar, ASA, or iodine-based medication into the vein. The medication irritates the vein wall causing an inflammatory response, which in turn causes the vein to close. The medication travels in the vein and affects large vein networks. Healthier vessels nearby absorb the blood flow of the collapsed veins. Patients are encouraged to walk or exercise after treatment.
