Why is sclerotherapy performed? Sclerotherapy and laser treatments for spider veins are the foundations of phlebology care. Many patients want to treat telangiectasias (spider veins on the legs), reticular veins and varicose veins. While most patients are worried about the physical appearance of their spider veins, a comprehensive assessment will demonstrate only a fraction having purely cosmetic veins. These individuals often have underlying venous insufficiency that will require treatment prior to sclerotherapy for telangiectasias.
