What You Need to Know about Spider Vein Removal

A medical procedure called spider vein removal therapy is designed to help patients get rid of their varicose and spider veins. Sclerotherapy, a non-invasive method that involves injecting a solution into the damaged veins to cause them to collapse and fade, is the most popular treatment for spider veins. Sclerotherapy offers the benefit of being an outpatient operation with no downtime or recovery period, in contrast to varicose vein surgery.

What are spider veins?

The apparent clusters of red, blue, or purple blood vessels known as spider veins frequently resemble a tree branch or a spider web and are found beneath the skin’s surface. Spider veins typically develop on the legs and thighs, but they can also occasionally show up on the face. Although they pose no threat to our health, they could be a sign of an underlying illness, such as venous insufficiency or a higher risk of blood clots. However, the majority of people seeking spider vein removal surgery do so for cosmetic reasons.

On the other hand, varicose veins are twisted, swollen veins resulting from inadequate blood flow. Unpleasant symptoms, including cramping, itching, discoloration, discomfort, or skin ulcers, may also be present with these bigger veins. Although they can affect anyone, varicose veins are more common in women than in men.

What causes spider veins?

There are several possible explanations for spider veins, and they may even run in families. They typically develop after prolonged periods of standing or exposure to the sun. In addition, spider veins may result from pregnancy or abrupt weight increase in addition to aging. Spider veins may also be brought on by hormonal changes, as well as weight changes.

Sadly, spider veins do not go away by themselves. Make an appointment with a healthcare professional who can inspect your atypical veins and make a treatment recommendation if you want to enhance the cosmetic appearance of your legs or get rid of the heavy feeling brought on by painful veins.

What to expect after the procedure

Following the surgery, the patient can leave the doctor’s office immediately and resume their normal activities without downtime. You can drive or even walk home from here! In fact, it is advised to walk following sclerotherapy. For a few weeks, one should stay out of the sun to prevent the development of black patches on the skin. Additionally, you should wait a few days before taking aspirin or other anti-inflammatory medications, taking a hot bath, or visiting a sauna.

In order to lessen the chance of bruising and add compression to the treated veins, healthcare professionals that conduct spider vein removal urge patients to constantly wear compression stockings for up to three weeks. Be careful that compression socks or stockings from a

department shop are frequently insufficient for post-sclerotherapy recuperation. Buy only prescription compression stockings that can offer the required level of compression for a complete recovery, if possible.
