Whether you suffer from varicose veins, spider veins, or other kinds of vein problems, you will want to know about the kind of vein treatment that will work for you. The first stop for this information is your own doctor. He may recommend you to a vein treatment center where there are specialists trained and dedicated to the treatment of vein problems. This is probably the best idea because nothing else is done at these centers. They only focus on the vein.
Vein problems are caused by several things. Many people have said that their varicose veins or spider veins have started from jobs that keep them standing all day. This is especially worse if they are standing on cement. This type of activity causes the vein valves to stop the blood from flowing the way it is supposed to flow, and it begins to pool in one place. That is what varicose veins are. The pooling begins to protrude through the skin and cause a rope-like appearance. Vein problems can also be hereditary. Aging is also a cause in addition to obesity.
Spider veins are dilated capillary veins right below the skin’s surface. They can be blue, red, purple or all of these colors that form in a web-like shape.
The appearance of these veins is not the only reason to get vein treatment. These veins can also cause heaviness, cramps, achiness, swelling and throbbing. If the varicose veins progress and become worse without treatment, there could be pigmentation, bleeding, ulceration, ankle swelling and the more serious chronic venous insufficiency, CVI. Getting early vein treatment will prevent this from happening.
There are several vein treatments depending on the severity of the problem. One treatment is wearing compression stockings. Exercise is also a good treatment. It’s better than just sitting or standing all day. These treatments will not cure the problem, but it will slow or stop it, and will eliminate some of the discomfort caused by the vein problem.
A very effective treatment is to collapse the veins. This is done by a procedure called sclerotherapy. Laser therapy can also be used, ambulatory surgery, mini-phlebectomy and endolaser. There are so many ways to receive vein treatment, and it is best to get it before the problem gets much worse.

The most common process or treatment for spider vein removal is called sclerotherapy. In this process a sclerosing agent is injected into the vein which causes it to disappear. It generally takes at least 2 visits/treatments for it to be effective. After the treatment the patient must wear compression stockings for several days. Another method is a laser treatment where a bright laser beam is directed at the vein. Again, it takes multiple visits. Sometimes the two types of treatment are combined.
