We treat spider veins with sclerotherapy (injections), laser or a combination of both. Spider veins usually have "feeder veins" that need to be treated along with the smaller veins that you see. The Laser can be used on the small veins but caution is used on patients with darker complexions as well as patients who have been tanning. It is very important that 1 month prior to the laser treatment that there is no tanning to lessen any chance of skin damage occurring.

Treating spider veins is a process and the average patient will require 3-5 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. It is important to understand that each vein needs treatment several times before resolution is achieved. All veins are hereditary so while we can eliminate what you have, you can make more throughout your life.

The procedures are very tolerable since the needles used are extremely small and the solution is not painful. If the laser is used, it is a hot sensation but very quick and you will leave the office with no discomfort after the treatment.

After the treatment, you may experience some bruising from the injections and some redness if laser was used. You will be asked to wear your compression stockings for 3-4 days and schedule for your next treatment in 4-6 weeks.
