Sclerotherapy is the
injection of a chemical into the spider vein to cause the vein to close
and scar internally, effectively causing the spider vein to
"disappear". It is generally a highly effective treatment
that has excellent cosmetic results, and little risk to the patient.
The following educational
news video
discusses sclerotherapy for spider veins. The reporter notes
that
the typical average price per treatment is $475.00. Our price per treatment averages
only $250.00 per treatment.
Each treatment session typically lasts from 15 to 30 minutes,
which is the amount of time in which the maximum dose of sclerosing
agent can be administered. The number of treatments required
may
be one or several, depending on the extent of spider veins present and
their density.
Our
patients report very little pain associated with the injections due to
the extremely
small needle used. They also have been very please with the
cosmetic results we have
obtained.
