You want to make sure that you are changing returning your position of your legs to maintain good flow. Or sitting down versus standing up. You want to also avoid wearing high heel shoes and tight clothes. These types of clothes can restrict your proper circulation and cause varicose veins.

Sclerotherapy DC


The gold-standard treatment for varicose veins is sclerotherapy.  Sclerotherapy DC involves the injection of asclera into the veins. Approximately one injection for every inch of spider vein is needed. The amount we will administer per treatment session depends on your treatment goals and desired outcome. As each area is finished we will apply pressure to the injection site.

The procedure takes anywhere from 15 minutes to 45 minutes depending on the area treated. During the sclerotherpy DC procedure, you will feel small needle pricks and possibly a mild burning sensation. However, for most people the pain is minimal.

Laser Vein Treatments

If your veins are red (rather than blue) in color, you may be a good candidate for laser treatment. Typically red veins will appear on the face, rather than the legs. The red color is usually more superficial and can picked up by a laser. Laser vein treatment is nearly painless, without downtime, and quick procedure.
