Scerotherapy

Injections with a special solution that helps reduce purple/blue/red leg veins.

FDA approved technique to remove superficial spider veins by injecting a chemical irritant into the vein to cause inflammation to the lining of the vein causing the vein to stick together and thus the blood stops flowing through them.

	Spider veins: are small enlarged superficial blood vessels that appear blue or red. Most commonly found on the legs but can occur elsewhere.
	Larger dilated blood vessels are called varicose veins that may be raised above the skin surface.
	Causes of spider veins/varicose veins are not completely known. Does have a genetic predisposition. More frequently seen in women.
	Success of treatment 50 to 90 percent improvement. Fading is gradual, usually over several months.
	All skin types and skin colors can be treated
	Insurance rarely covers treatment

Complications:

	Rarely allergic reactions
	Bruises at the site of injection, usually disappear in a few weeks
	Lumps in the injected vein due to coagulated blood. This is not dangerous.
	Possible brown discoloration at the injection site (less obvious then the veins that have been injected)
	Possible ulceration
	Veins may come back
