Question 1

what is best treatment for spider veins? isit permanent?]

Accepted Answer

It depends...: Treatment  choice depends on size and location of spider veins. Sclerotherapy is generally advised for veins big enough to enter with a needle. Surface laser for those too small to inject. Usually results are permanent. Recalcitrance may suggest a deeper source of reflux nearby that needs to be dealt with. See a board-certified phlebologist to assess your needs and tailor your care accordingly.

Question 2

Question 3

Question 4

what are the best rejuvenation skin care treatments for spider veins? i have noticeable spider veins on my legs and would feel more comfortable wearing summer clothes if i could get rid of them. do rejuvenation skin care treatments like microdermabrasion

Accepted Answer

Spider : Spider veins are visible veins in the skin, most often occuring on the legs.  What are termed "spider veins" are usually flat red or blue fine lines.  However, these can bulge above the skin and can cause pain, itching or bleeding, but most are cosmetic concerns.  Skin treatments alone are usually not effective for spider vein removal and potentially could make them slightly worse if the skin is injured or traumatized.  Depending on the size of the spider veins these can be very effectively treated with injections (medium and small veins) or with laser (small veins).  Once veins are treated they go away, but new ones can form over time.  Bruising and discoloration are common after any vein treatment, and are worse for larger veins.  I would suggest that any procedures done for spider veins be done several months before you want to wear summer clothes!

Question 5

why vein shrink and its treatment?

Accepted Answer

They don't normally: ...unless they are lasered or otherwise treated intentionally, or for example get damaged as a side effect of chemotherapy.  I suspect you have had some difficulty with a blood draw? So, sometimes veins roll away from the needle.  Sometimes they go into spasm and blood won't come out of them easily, and sometimes the technician is just not lucky!  Usually they would just apply heat to the arm.

Question 6

i'm curious what occurs during spider vein treatment?

Accepted Answer

Injection of veins: Sclerotherapy for spider veins is the injection of a substance into a small vein(1-2mm) that looks like spider legs.  The substance injected can either be liquid or foam and is called a sclerosing solution because it either dissolves the vein or pushes the blood out of the vein so that the vein walls stick together and then dissolve.  There are many solutions that can be used for sclerotherapy.

Question 7

please explain what happens during spider vein treatment?

Accepted Answer

Vein closes: Sclerotherapy(injections) or various forms of heat therapy cause an inflammatory reaction that closes the vain and hopefully makes it less visible.

Question 9

what are vericose veins and its treatment?

Accepted Answer

VV and treatment: Varicose veins are usually due to heredity and are large bulging veins that occur because broken vein valves cause venous hypertension and enlargement. Treatment can be endovenous thermal ablation (laser or rf), ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy (vein injections with chemical), or surgery. You would need to see a vein specialist to be properly evaluated and treated.

Question 10

what is a home treatment for vericose veins?

Accepted Answer

Compression socks: Varicose veins are mostly genetic, partly environmental. If we could spend most of our time upside down or with our feet up less people would have them. This isn't practical - so compression socks are a good alternative. Wearing them reduces the stress on the vein valves allowing them to last as long as their genetically determined life could hope for. Seek treatment once varicose veins form!
