Dr. Wright’s Tip
With the advancement of cosmetics technology there are different affordable options. One way is sclerotherapy, which is a simple in-office procedure that requires no down time. A solution is injected into the vein causing them to collapse and fade away. You may need multiple treatments for maximum results. Side affects can be a burning sensation from the solution, and also cramping and discomfort that may last for only 5 minutes.
