Sclerotherapy is an injection treatment that involves treating unwanted, prominent, small, thin veins (telangiectasias or sunburst varicosities) that lie close to the surface of the skin. They show up in several colors – red, blue and purple. Caused by heredity, pregnancy, hormonal shifts, weight gain, occupations or activities that require prolonged sitting or standing and/or the use of certain medications, this condition usually causes aching and burning. Dot has found that in addition to eliminating unwanted veins, the Sclerotherapy also reduces the fragility of leg skin, which is a part of the normal aging process.
