Sclerotherapy \ Laser Vein Treatment

It is estimated that over 50 million Americans are bothered by the appearance of veins on their face, thighs, calves, and ankles. These veins can either be small, thin capillaries (spider veins) or larger veins called reticular veins. The largest veins are called varicose veins. With a quick and easy injection treatment, there is no longer any need to live with these unsightly veins. Once eliminated, the vessels turn brown in color and the wastes are absorbed through the body's natural metabolism process.

Veins are made of one way valves. When excess blood backs up, the body releases pressure by developing new veins. Spider veins are not only unsightly, they can also cause aching, swelling, burning, and night cramps in the legs. Reticular veins are those blue veins that lie well below the skin's surface. Varicose veins are quite large, and tend to bulge with a rope-like texture on the skin's surface. They are likely to cause pain and be related to more serious vein disorders.
