Spider Vein Treatment Options: A Brief Guide Chicago

Spider Veins, are small, dilated, web-like blood vessels that are located near the skin surface. If present, the underlying problematic veins are treated first. Spider veins are then “cleaned up” by a process called sclerotherapy.

Liquid Sclerotherapy is used to treat smaller sized veins.
Foam Sclerotherapy allows larger veins to be treated.
Ultrasound-guided Foam Sclerotherapy is a precision-guided technique used to target larger veins beneath the surface
