Men and women have begun to take more interest in spider vein treatment to get rid of vein discoloration on their skin. Spider vein treatment in Austin not only gets rid of spider veins, but it will actually prevent them from forming again. To understand the treatment process, you must first understand how they are formed in the first place.

Although spider vein treatment is the most effective, there are also many herbal remedies used. One of the more common herbal remedies is the use of horse chestnut, which is a tropical medicine. Butcher’s broom may also be used to get the blood flowing in areas where there are spider veins.

Also, certain leg movements will compress affected veins by aiming the blood towards successive valves. Those who suffer from varicose and spider veins often need to increase the amount of physical exercise they are getting so that blood will begin to flow throughout those areas. Standing keeps the blood in the same area, which will only worsen the appearance of these veins.

If you are experiencing pain from spider veins, there is a possibility that fluid is seeping through the vein walls and causing the adjacent tissues to swell up. If you can increase your heart level, you can alleviate some of this pain. Applying something very cold to the surface of your veins will also give you temporary relief. Spider veins are a smaller form of varicose veins, and they start out as small capillaries that appear to be different colors on different areas of the body. Many females suffer from these and they seek treatment most often as a cosmetic procedure. 

Certain factors can contribute to the development of spider veins: pregnancy, genes, hormones, and increases in weight or occupation changes. Austin spider vein treatment  provides both sclerotherapy and another form of treatment that consists of applying cold pressure to the surface of the skin.

Sclerotherapy involves the injection of a solution into the skin, causing the veins to fade. This not only eliminates the vein appearance but also gets rid of the symptoms that may come with severe spider veins. The injection procedure takes approximately 30 minutes, and the chemical that is injected into the skin causes burning and cramping in the area where the injection took place. Often, patients need a few sessions to completely remove the appearance and the symptoms of the veins.

There is also laser Austin spider vein treatment, which involves the use of a strong light on the surface of the skin. There may be some bruising after the treatments and they cost a bit more than sclerotherapy. Since it is considered a cosmetic procedure, your insurance probably will not cover it unless pain and severe symptoms are associated with it; therefore; treating veins on your legs costs approximately $200 or $300 per leg.
