Vein Clinic of South Florida Explaining Forms and Types of Spider Veins and its Treatment

Florida, April 24, 2012 – Spider veins, also called telangiectasis or telangiectasia, are in a sense tiny varicose veins in the skin. Their reddish to bluish color is the most common cosmetic problem of women’s legs. Spider veins do not necessarily progress to varicose veins but both are always abnormal and will not disappear without treatment. Accurate diagnosis is vital to optimal treatment because the absence of varicose veins does not necessarily mean that a possible underlying abnormality can be ignored.

There have been many commercially produced lasers, ultrasound and other sometimes exotic treatment devices for lightening or eliminating spider veins.  The Vein Clinic of South Florida has tested the more medically sound of these, both alone and in tandem with injection sclerotherapy.  Optimum results can be elusive for the dilettante or occasional practitioner as spider vein treatment is really an art form.  At the Vein Clinic of South Florida injection sclerotherapy is preferred because it has withstood the test of time with patients and practitioners and with unusual exception is how patients are treated.
