Spider vein treatment is also known as sclerotherapy and laser vein treatment.

Spider veins (which should not be confused with varicose veins) are dilated or stretched blood vessels characterized by a branching pattern and are often found on the thigh, lower leg, or occasionally on the face. Spider veins are progressive in nature and usually increase in number and visibility with age. Sclerotherapy and laser vein treatments are used to treat these vessels, erasing them from your skin.

When to Consider Spider Vein Treatment
