Spider Vein Treatment

Sclerotherapy

The most common spider vein treatment involves the injection of a solution into each affected vein, causing the vein to collapse and fade over time.

Find a Plastic Surgeon

What questions should I ask my plastic surgeon about spider vein treatment?

Use this checklist as a guide during your spider vein treatment consultation:

Are you certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery?
Were you trained specifically in the field of plastic surgery?
How many years of plastic surgery training have you had?
How many procedures of this type have you performed?
Am I a good candidate for this procedure?
Where and how will you perform my procedure?
How long of a recovery period can I expect, and what kind of help will I need during my recovery?
What are the risks and complications associated with my procedure?
How are complications handled?
What are my options if I am dissatisfied with the cosmetic outcome of my spider vein treatment?
Do you have before-and-after photos I can look at for each procedure and what results are reasonable for me?
