Sclerotherapy is the treatment of choice for telangiectasias, or spider veins. Spider veins are small blood vessels on the surface of the skin that have become dilated and visible over time. Most larger veins can also be treated using sclerotherapy.Tucson Dermatology

At Abate Beauty & Spa Sanctuary – MediSpa est. since 1990 we offer professional treatments that work very well in the treatment of removing leg thread veins such as red, blue and purple type of veins. Sclerotherapy works exceptionally well on larger thread vein on the legs but an alternative method that has been used for many years and works fantastic is thermolysis (short wave diathermy) this method works very well as removing fine red veins on the face around the nose and cheeks and can also be used on fine leg veins following vein removal surgery. The results are instant and the price is very competitive.

I recieved the salt water treatment and it worked very well for my right leg, but when it was injected into my only blue vein (on my left leg) a bunch of tiny red blood vessels all formed around it. Would veinwave or some other therapy be a possible treatment for those then?

Veinwave is an alternative treatment for thread veins on the face and legs. At our medical clinic in Essex, we find that while Sclerotherapy is good for veins over 3mm in diameter, Veinwave is better for the tiny veins under 3mm in diameter. Sue Ibrahim

I did have this type of treatment (this was when I was much *younger* and cared more about my legs!) I was very happy with the results, although if I was going to suddenly start wearing shorts now, I’d need to do it again. Hmm, maybe someday.
