DETAILS

Enjoy the freedom of bare legs with help from AVIVA MedSpa & Cosmetic Surgery Center and Sclerotherapy, the leading medical procedure for eliminating spider and varicose veins. Men and women of any age can benefit from sclerotherapy treatment.

Spider veins are small clusters of thin veins under the skin’s surface. Abnormal blood flow and a weakening of the blood vessel wall cause spider and varicose veins. Weight gain, and prolonged standing or sitting may also contribute to this condition.

Sclerotherapy is an injection of a solution (generally a salt solution) directly into the vein. The solution irritates the lining of the blood vessel, causing it to swell and stick together, and the blood to clot. Over time, the vessel turns into scar tissue that fades from view. Sclerotherapy is a well-proven procedure and has been in use since the 1930s. The number of veins injected in one session varies, and depends on the size and location of the veins, as well as the general medical condition of the patient.

Gold standard method for removing veins

• No downtime following treatment
• Minimal discomfort
• No Anesthesia

PROCEDURE
A cosmetic laser emits a prescribed dose of energy to the vein. The laser "selectively" targets the problem veins while sparing surrounding areas. After treatment, the vessel will naturally disappear.

RECOVERY
The laser treatment causes only minimal discomfort. Any redness or swelling should be gone within a day and you'll be able to resume normal activities immediately.
