What’s the Difference Between a Varicose Vein & a Spider Vein?
Large, bulbous veins that can be flesh-toned, blue, or purple in color that appear are varicose veins. Being that they ache and swell, these dilated veins are frequently painful. Stress on the legs escalate when they feel tired and weak from the varicose veins. Forming at the skin’s surface, the spider veins are the tiny blood vessels. As mentioned, they are usually red, purple, or blue in color and since they look like a spider’s web, they are often referred to as spider veins. In addition to appearing on the legs, varicose veins can happen anywhere on the body, even the face. People often feel the most self-conscious when they occur on the face.
What Causes Varicose Veins & Spider Veins?
Typically, these diseased veins develop within the blood vessels themselves. From other areas of the body, your veins should carry blood back to your heart. To prevent blood from flowing back into the veins and to stay on course, veins have small valves. The blood flows back into the vein increasing pressure inside the view when these valves are not properly functioning. The swelling and bulging eventually emerges due the pressure weakening.

Sclerotherapy Treatment
The sclerotherapy procedure improves someone’s legs appearance from these veins, typically for cosmetic reasons. However, in addition to improving the appearance, sclerotherapy is used to relieve the discomforts from the burning, heaviness in the legs, aching, swelling, and cramping during the evening hours. Quite a few people use this method to remove the appearance of these small varicose and spider veins. Directly into the vein, solution called Sclerosant is injected. The blood is forced to enter healthy veins as the solution causes the abnormal vein to close. The damaged vein is absorbed into body tissue and fades away after some time.
