Varicose veins or spider veins are typically diagnosed based on their appearance, and no other special tests are needed to confirm the diagnosis. The goals of the varicose vein treatment are to reduce symptoms and prevent complications. For some, the goal may be improved appearance. At the Summit Medical Group Vein Center, varicose veins and spider veins are treated through a relatively painless procedure.
Sclerotherapy used an injection of the special chemical (sclerosant) into a varicose vein to cause the vein to close. It only take 5 to 30 minutes, depending on how many varicose veins are treated and how big they are. Our Vein Center can best help you determine the need for treatment and counsel you on expectations.
