Transilluminated Sclerotherapy

 

Spider veins can be caused by pressure from blood leaking from connecting reticular veins (superficial blue-green veins). In order to obtain better and longer-lasting results, it is important to locate and treat these superficial feeder veins. The Vein Institute of Utah uses an advanced device called the Veinlite to locate these often hard-to-find veins, and has developed a treatment called Transilluminated Sclerotherapy™. The Veinlite transilluminates the skin and makes it translucent so the reticular veins can be easily seen. Sclerotherapy is then used to eliminate these reticular veins making the treatment of the overlying spider veins more effective.
