Edmonton, AB -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/13/2015 -- Sclerotherapy is the name of the treatment given to get rid of spider veins in legs, where a solution is injected into troublesome veins to make them shrivel and ultimately be absorbed by the body so that they disappear. A greater level of scientific knowledge and understanding has developed over the last ten years or so regarding spider veins and how best to treat them. And due to its specialized nature, it is often a procedure that is referred to expert Sclerotherapists to treat.
