With warmer temperatures comes the arrival of heat waves, shorts, and sandals. With this, you might be feeling your self-consciousness surrounding your legs floating up again. If you find yourself on your feet for an extended amount of time, are in an older stage of life or overweight, this unease over your legs might stem from spider veins. The Institute of Aesthetic Surgery in Celebration, Orlando, and Altamonte Springs, FL offers a cosmetic treatment called sclerotherapy that can help to dissolve these veins and result in clearer skin. With it, you will not need to hide your legs any longer.
How Do Spider Veins Occur?
Spider veins appear as thin, threadlike lines across the surface of the skin, but do not protrude. They occur most commonly along the legs, but instances of it can also develop on the face. As blood vessels, veins have the job of supplying blood toward the heart. Issues arise when the valves in these veins do not close properly, allowing blood to collect back into the veins; over time this collection becomes visible to the eye as a network of coloration under the skin. Their natural occurrence in the legs is due these blood vessels needing to flow against gravity as they travel back to the heart.
How Is Sclerotherapy Effective?
The non-surgical treatment process utilizes Asclera®, a prescription solution developed to close up spider veins, essentially clogging them and forcing them to break down. This is performed via injection by a medical professional and may require multiple treatments depending on the complexity of the affected areas. Eventually, the spider veins will be replaced with healthy tissue as the body naturally recovers, resulting in clearer, younger-looking skin.
What Is Recovery Like for Sclerotherapy?
Clients consider Asclera® treatment because of its minimally-invasive technique. There is no required downtime after receiving sclerotherapy, making it a convenient option. No scheduled disruptions or time-off of work is needed post-treatment, allowing clients to resume their daily activities as normal. In fact, activity is considered part of after-care; movement will keep circulation healthy while the induced clotting takes place. The use of compression stockings will also aid in improving blood flow in your legs as your body heals.
