Preparing for your Procedure & Compression Stockings
Some insurance plans require a 3 to 4 month trial of conservative therapy (compression stockings) prior to the treatment. Fall or winter is a great time to start. It is best to be fitted correctly and if your insurance requires it, as soon as possible to expedite your procedure scheduling. MANA Vein Care Center provides fittings for the stockings and instructions for care. We carry both open toe and closed toe styles. The stockings are on sale on a cash only basis. We can fit you at the time of your evaluation.
To determine if you are a candidate for EVLT or VNUS closure, speak with your physician or make an appointment for a vein consultation by calling (479) 271-0084.

Spider Vein Treatment
MANA Vein Care Center also offers treatments for spider veins.
What are spider veins? Spider veins are like varicose veins but smaller. They begin as tiny capillaries and appear as blue or red squiggles. They are small red, blue or purple veins that commonly appear on the surface of the thighs, calves and ankles. It's estimated that at least one third of the adult female population is troubled with this common problem. People often seek treatment for spider veins because of cosmetic concern. However, it is also common for spider veins to cause symptoms, such as aching, heaviness, itching and night cramps.
Spider veins usually take on one of three forms:
- They may appear in a spider shape with a group of veins radiating outward from a central point.
- They may appear in a pattern that resembles branches on a tree
- They may be in a linear pattern that appear as thin separate lines.
Certain factors contribute to the development of spider veins, including heredity, pregnancy, hormonal factors, weight gain, occupations or activities that require prolonged sitting or standing, and trauma.
Sclerotherapy for Spider Veins - A common form of treatment for spider veins is sclerotherapy. This is an in-office procedure where veins are injected with a solution, using small needles, which causes them to collapse and fade from view. before and after spider vein treatmentThe procedure typically improves not only the cosmetic appearance but associated symptoms as well. A few sessions may be required to obtain maximum benefit. During sclerotherapy, the affected leg is elevated to drain blood, and the sclerosant is injected into the spider vein. The procedure normally takes 5 to 30 minutes, depending on how many spider veins are treated. This form of spider vein treatment may be painful, and the chemical (sclerosant) that is injected can cause a feeling of burning or cramping for a few minutes in the area where the shot was given. You may need repeated sessions and many injections per session depending on the extent of the spider veins and type of sclerosant used.
