Say Good-Bye to Your Spider Veins

Dr. Miller is excited to welcome Dr. Kelli Favata to the Greenville Dermatology practice for a limited time this summer. Dr. Favata is a specialist in sclerotherapy, a treatment for the removal of spider veins and smaller varicose veins.

Spider veins are caused by weak vascular walls and inefficient circulation. Small to medium spider veins are removed by injecting a sterile chemical sclerant. This irritates the lining of the vein vessels causing it to become inflamed, harden, and then fade away completely. Outward appearance and the pain associated with problem veins can be significantly reduced with this procedure.

Nearly everyone is eligible for treatment, unless they are pregnant or breastfeeding. Sclerotherapy can be performed on the hands, arms, face, legs, and other delicate areas. The injection process is typically complete in just 15 to 30 minutes. Minor stinging and burning are common during and after the procedure, but are short lived.

Dr. Favata will be at Greenville Dermatology from July 18th to the end of August, so call and make your appointment today!

  3. Spider veins can occur in small plots on which they are not very noticeable, or they may cover large areas of the skin, resulting in an unattractive appearance, obviously. Spider veins occur when small blood vessels dilate or pop surface and rise above the surface of the skin.

  4. Spider veins are similar to having varicose veins. However, spider veins are less intense. Spider veins are mostly red or blue, smaller and closer to the surface of the skin of varicose veins, spider veins appear to tree branches or spider webs with short lines and gagged.
