Spider Veins
Philadelphia, PA

Bella Medspa spider vein treatment is performed using the tried and true practice of sclerotherapy. Sclerotherapy is a highly effective treatment for patients seeking to minimize or eliminate the appearance of spider veins (and varicose veins).

Your spider veins may have developed as a result of genetics. Typically, women with spider veins have mothers and/or female relatives with spider veins as well. Pregnancy can also cause the formation of spider veins. Believe it or not, fluctuating hormones can affect the quality and strength of your vein walls and valves.

Prolonged standing and sitting can also cause a great deal of pressure to build up in your leg veins, giving way to spider veins (and varicose veins). Injury and vein conditions can cause spider veins to manifest on your skin’s surface as well.

The tiny red, blue and purple networks of blood vessels are most commonly found on the legs, in the thigh and knee area. They can be easily distinguished from varicose veins which are more prominent, appear bluish-green and sometimes bulge from the skin’s surface.

Irrespective of how your spider veins formed, Bella Medspa Sclerotherapy can safely diminish their appearance. At treatment, a saline solution is injected directly into the bothersome vein(s). In the days following, the vein walls begin to close in on each other, forming a tight suture. The closed vein walls begin to breakdown and completely disappear from view. This in-office procedure is virtually painless and entails no downtime. You can return to work immediately, if necessary.

Bella Medspa has enjoyed great success in treating countless men and women for spider veins. We welcome you to come in for a complimentary sclerotherapy consultation to review how this treatment can help you.
