Are You Bothered By Spider Veins?

Posted: April 30, 2018

My patients trust me to help them improve aspects of their appearances that make them feel less attractive. Although spider veins do not pose a medical concern, I understand that these networks of small visible veins make almost anyone feel uncomfortable. My spider vein treatments eliminate the problem without downtime.

How Spider Veins Develop

To understand why my spider vein treatments are so effective, it is important to have a basic knowledge of how the visible veins develop. The veins that you see were once hidden in your skin. Due to abnormalities in blood flow, the veins become swollen with blood. Spider veins can develop anywhere on your body but are most common on the ankles, legs, and face. Because these areas are often uncovered, people will notice the veins.

Treatment Options for Spider Veins

The traditional approach to spider veins is to surgically remove the veins. This is a painful process that requires lengthy recovery and healing. My treatments reduce downtime.

• Sclerotherapy is a minimally-invasive procedure that uses a special solution to destroy the damaged veins
• Laser treatments and radiosurgery are recommended for the smallest types of spider veins that cannot be addressed with sclerotherapy

What to Expect After Spider Vein Treatment

Non-surgical spider vein treatments seal the damaged veins to prevent the flow of blood. Your body uses the surrounding healthy veins to return blood to your heart. The veins that are treated are slowly absorbed by your body. Because this process is gradual, you may notice that some veins are still visible after treatment, but given time, these veins will disappear.

Preventing Spider Veins

When I discuss cosmetic concerns with my patients, I emphasize the importance of prevention. The same holds true for spider veins. You should take steps to reduce your chances of developing new spider veins in the same areas. Standing and sitting for long periods of time is the most common reason that people develop spider veins. Take breaks and elevate your legs. This not only helps with spider veins but also gives you time to relax throughout your day.
