Sclerotherapy or removal of spider leg veins.
Nothing makes the legs appear more unsightly and old than varicose and spider veins. A sclerosing solution is injected into the tiny veins which irritates the walls of the blood vessels causing the veins to collapse and ultimately to fibrose. In general, there is no need to change one's lifestyle after the procedure except for running/jogging and high impact exercises for a few days. Individuals can return to work the same day the procedure is performed.
