Sclerotherapy - Spider Vein Treatment

Spider Veins on Legs

The premier skin care destination in the Iowa City/Cedar Rapids Corridor.

Eliminate unsightly spider veins on the legs-the small blood vessels that lie close to the surface of the skin and have a red to blue-colored appearance. Patients with spider veins on their legs, thighs or buttocks often shy away from wearing shorts and swimwear because of the web-like appearance of these veins.

Sclerotherapy is a treatment that offers dramatic clearing of spider veins. A specialized solution is injected into the spider veins, causing a "scarring down" of the vessel so it can no longer be seen. Sclerotherapy is more effective, less painful and less expensive than lasertreatment of spider veins on legs. Laser therapy for spider vessels is available from other providers but comes at a much higher cost to the patient and actually is less effective and more painful than injections. Sclerotherapy treatment is considered the gold standard for spider vein treatment.
