Magically Erase Varicose and Spider Veins

Eminence Medical Aesthetics offers Sclerotherapy in Princeton, NJ. During the treatment process a syringe is used to inject FDA approved medication into veins that will displace the blood which will make the treated veins appear lighter and eventually disappear all together. After treatment, support stockings may be recommended for external compression to keep the treated veins closed and prevent blood flow. Since sclerotherapy is not painful, no anesthesia is needed. This procedure is simple, fast and safe enough to do all year, even on tanned skin. Sclerotherapy can also be performed in combination with Laser Vein Treatment, to optimize results.
