Choose from a Variety of Highly Effective Spider Vein Treatment Options

Believe it or not, eliminating spider veins is quite simple and painless. Here at Vein Specialists, we offer several noninvasive spider vein treatment options to give you back your beautiful, healthy legs.

We use state-of-the-art therapy to rid you of unattractive spider veins quickly and effectively. Our nearly painless spider vein treatments are outpatient procedures. This means you can be in and out with fresh, beautiful legs and back to your normal routine in a short amount of time. Some of our leading edge spider vein treatment options include:

Sclerotherapy

An effective and noninvasive method of eliminating unsightly spider veins, injection sclerotherapy can both improve your skin’s appearance and reduce the aching, swelling, burning, and cramping that may accompany spider veins. During the sclerotherapy process, your veins are injected with a dilute FDA approved solution which gently inflames the vein wall, which then closes off the vein.

Following sclerotherapy, you’ll see most of your spider veins fade within a matter of weeks to months. Depending on the severity of your spider veins, you may require a number of sclerotherapy sessions.

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

VeinGogh ™

Another highly effective spider vein treatment is VeinGogh™ which is a minimally invasive procedure to eliminate small spider veins typically found on the nose and face. The VeinGogh™ procedure focuses tiny microbursts of heat through a small, hair-thin probe directly on your spider veins. This heat coagulates the blood and collapses the vein wall, causing it to fade from view and absorb into the body.

Benefits of Injection Sclerotherapy or VeinGogh ™ spider vein treatment include:

Little to No Pain
Absolutely No Downtime
Prompt Visual Results
Effective Spider Vein Elimination

In addition to spider veins, VeinGogh is also an effective treatment for cherry or strawberry hemangiomas (raised red freckles or moles) and small skin tags.

Endovenous Ablation

Occasionally, patients present with extensive spider veins only to find that there is a deeper problem in the veins beneath the skin. These patients may require an ultrasound evaluation and may be candidates for treatment of the underlying problem veins with endovenous ablation. Endovenous ablation delivers radiofrequency or LASER energy through a micro-thin catheter into your diseased vein. Once the leaky veins are treated, patients may notice an improvement of their superficial spider veins as well better results with injection sclerotherapy.

If you’re seeking relief from irritating spider veins, choose our leading-edge treatments.

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.

What Causes Spider Veins?

If you suffer from spider veins, you’re not alone. Millions of men and women of various ages have spider veins due to both preventable and unpreventable causes. 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
