Vein Treatments

Tired of hiding your legs?  Are you experiencing leg pain or have painful varicose veins?  The Mankato Clinic provides treatment for both spider veins and varicose veins.

Spider veins-not to be confused with varicose veins-are dilated or stretched blood vessels that have a branching pattern which are commonly found on the thigh and lower leg.

When to Consider Spider Vein Treatment?

  • If you have visible veins on your legs or thighs that have a branching or web-like pattern.
  • If you feel that your spider veins are a sign of aging that you would like to eliminate.
  • If you are embarrassed by the noticeable branching or web-like veins.
  • If you avoid wearing shorts or swimming apparel because you don’t want others to see your spider veins.

Spider vein therapy called sclerotherapy is a procedure where a solution is injected into the vein which then causes the vein to shrink and gradually disappear.

Skin Essentials at the Mankato Clinic offers sclerotherapy. Call 507-625-6599 for a complimentary consultation to find out if you are a good candidate for spider vein treatement.

A solution to leg pain and varicose veins

  • Varicose veins are not always a cosmetic issue.  The underlying cuases of varicose veins and heavy, painful legs can now be treated in the doctor’s office with the VNUS Closure procedure.
  • The VNUS Closure procedure is minimally invasive, offers a fast and mild recovery and is almost always covered by insurance.
  • A referral will be needed.  Talk to your care provider today to see if the VNUS Closure procedure is right for you.
