Our Spider Vein Treatment Options

Eliminating spider veins doesn’t have to be painful or complicated. We offer modern, noninvasive treatments designed to fit your lifestyle and get you back on your feet quickly.

Treatment options

Injection Sclerotherapy

A proven method, injection sclerotherapy treats spider veins by injecting a mild FDA-approved solution that collapses the vein walls. Over time, your body naturally absorbs the treated veins. Most patients see visible improvement within weeks.

Benefits:

  • Reduces pain, swelling and burning
  • Enhances skin appearance
  • Requires minimal downtime

The benefits of sclerotherapy to treat spider veins include minimal discomfort and a short healing process.

Tiny microbursts of heat are used to collapse and fade spider veins in the VeinGogh procedure.

Treatment options

VeinGogh™ Therapy

VeinGogh™ targets fine spider veins – especially on your nose and face – using controlled microbursts of heat. The treatment is quick, precise and highly effective for delicate areas.

Also Treats:

  • Cherry/strawberry hemangiomas
  • Small skin tags
Treatment options

Endovenous Ablation

For more extensive vein issues, endovenous ablation may be necessary. This procedure uses radiofrequency or laser energy to treat deeper, underlying vein problems that may be contributing to spider veins.

Patients often notice better results in superficial veins after this treatment.

Endovenous ablation uses radiofrequency or laser energy to close an incompetent superficial truncal vein, such as the great or small saphenous vein.

The basics

What are Spider Veins?

Spider veins are small veins close to the surface of the skin which appear “spider” web-like or may be seen as large clusters called telangiectasia.

Spider veins may be connected to underlying varicose veins, which contain damaged one-way valves that prevent proper blood flow through the vein.

Typically, spider veins appear red, blue or purple in color, and resemble fine tree branches or spider webs.

These tiny veins often appear on the legs, but also can become visible on the face, especially on the nose and cheeks.

Causes

What Causes Spider Veins?

Some of the common causes of spider veins include:

  • Heredity

  • Hormonal Effects

  • Long Periods of Standing or Sitting

  • Significant Weight Fluctuations or Obesity

  • Advanced Age

  • Excessive Sun Exposure
