Sclerotherapy: used in the treatment of spider veins. Spider veins are small, nonessential veins that can be seen through the skin. This treatment involves injecting a sclerosing solution (saline solution) into the vein being treated. This solution irritates the tissue, causing the veins to collapse and disappear.
