Which is better to get rid of spider veins: sclerotherapy or laser treatment?

Sclerotherapy: Sclerotherapy is still better than laser. Laser might be helpfull for the very small and spread spider veins. If the spider veins are connected and larger than 1/2 mm, sclerotherapy is superior.

Sclerotherapy & lase: We found that laser did not penetrate deep enough to close the blue-green feeder veins in the reticular dermis reliably. So sclerotherapy needed to be done simultaneously. We concluded why not just do the sclerotherapy alone. Some advocates of both modalities feel that the "double injury" works better, however this is debatable. Alone, sclerotherapy is better.

Sclero: Is still considered the gold standard. My laser for veins is rarely used.

Depends: Spider veins on the face are probably best treated with laser although sclerotherapy works well too if the provider is experienced. Spider veins on the legs are best treated with sclerotherapy. Sometimes a combination of both is used on the legs, but sclerotherapy can treat veins of any size in the legs and laser is often not needed.

Sclerotherapy: Spider veins on the leg are best treated by sclerotherapy. Spider veins on the face can be treated by sclerotherapy, laser or fine needle radio frequency. The treatment of leg spider veins is usually determined by the training of the treating physician. Most vein specialists will treat leg spiders with sclerotherapy.

Sclerotherapy Best: Spider veins on the leg are best treated by sclerotherapy. Most vein specialists will treat leg spider veins with sclerotherapy because it not only treats the tiny spider veins but the slightly larger and slightly deeper veins that feed the spider veins. Lasers cannot treat the feeder veins and so cannot completely treat the problem.
