Spider Veins

The capillary varicoses are generally the expansion of the vessels in the face and leg skin to become visible in purple-blue-red colors. In their treatment applications of sclerotherapy
and laser are utilized.

In sclerotherapy, the blocking of the vessel is provided by the injection of drugs into the capillary vessel by a thin needle. In spite, in the laser treatment, laser ray is applied on the capillary vessel from outside the skin. These methods can be made use of singly or together.
In our Center, following the treatment of the vessel which feeds the capillary vessels by sclerotherapy, the application of laser to small dimensioned capillary vessels is preferred. The reason for this is the difficulty of the needle insertion into the very small vessels and that the laser applied on the skin surface are more effective to the small dimensioned vessels.

Sclerotherapy and laser therapies in the skin are treatments performed in the doctor’s office, performances taking 15-30 minutes, they do not require anesthesia. Returning back to work is possible right after the laser, in 3 days in sclerotherapy. Starting heavy exercises gets realized in 2-3 days after laser, after sclerotherapy in 2-4 weeks.

Main risks are infection, bleeding, formation of clotting in the vessel (phlebitis), reappearance of the capillary vessels, skin damage scars which may be permanent sometimes.
