Spider vascular treatments
Spider veins are a prevalent condition that is treatable with medication. There are numerous medications available for treating spider veins, including:
The chemical polidocanol
Polidocanol is an injectable sclerosing agent that causes spider veins to collapse and be absorbed by the body. It is an odorless, colorless, non-toxic liquid used to treat spider veins and minor varicose veins. The procedure can be performed in the doctor’s clinic in a matter of minutes. The procedure is associated with minimal discomfort and discoloration. Recovery time is brief, and the majority of patients can resume normal activities promptly.
The Sotradecol
Sotradecol is a medication prescribed for the treatment of spider veins. It functions by causing the vessels to contract, making them less visible. Typically, Sotradecol is injected directly into the vein, and the effects are visible within a few weeks.
The asclera
Asclera is a sclerosing agent used for the treatment of spider veins. It causes the blood vessels to constrict and eventually dissipate. Asclera is administered via injection, and typically multiple administrations are required to achieve the desired results.
The Varithena
Varithena is a medication prescribed for the treatment of spider veins. This medication is a combination of polidocanol and bupivacaine. Polidocanol is a sclerosant, a type of chemical. It functions by causing the walls of the veins to adhere, causing them to collapse and vanish. Bupivacaine is an anesthetic that numbs the area surrounding the vein so that you do not experience any discomfort during or after the procedure.
The chemical formula is sodium tetradecyl sulfate.
The chemical sodium tetradecyl sulfate (STS) is used to treat spider veins. STS is effective because it causes spider veins to collapse and dissipate. The procedure is brief, simple, and relatively benign. There is no required recovery time following treatment, and patients can promptly resume their normal activities.
