Spider Veins

Spider veins are very visible to the naked eye. A tiny needle, similar to one used for Botox injections is used to inject the medicine into the spider veins. It is essentially painless.

For optimum technical results, Dr.Altuwaijri uses magnification during spider vein sclerotherapy. In addition, an advanced fiber optic based transilluminator; a Veinlite, which shines light below the spider veins to help visualize the "feeding veins".

These are also known as reticular veins. Dr.Altuwaijri injects both the feeding veins to the spider veins as well as the spider veins themselves. This ensures superior results as the source of the spider vein is treated rather than the spider vein alone. Each spider vein cluster is rapidly and expertly assessed as to which main 'branch' will be injected.Typically there is a larger vein connecting the smaller veins that is chosen as the injection site. This avoids multiple unnecessary injections into all the spider vein branches.

The technique is very accurate, meticulous and practically painless. Technique and expertise sets Dr. Altuwaijri apart from others.
