Varicosis is an extremely common disease that affects over half the population. The reason for its onset is still unknown; but certain factors, such as heredity, seem to play a decisive role. The condition can be aggravated by pregnancy, menopause, obesity, aging of the tissues, and the use of birth control pills and hormonal therapy.

Varicose Vein Removal or Sclerotherapy is the non-surgical treatment for varicose and spider veins. In this simple procedure, veins are injected with a sclerosing solution, which causes them to collapse and fade from view. The procedure may also remedy the bothersome symptoms associated with spider veins, including aching, burning, swelling and night cramps.
