Treatment for Spider Veins

The evaluation and treatment of your varicose, reticular, and spider veins involves a process that may take up to six months for a satisfactory result. A standard treatment process includes the following:

  • An initial evaluation by our physician.
  • An ultrasound examination, looking for venous reflux in the veins of your legs.
  • A follow up visit to review the findings and discuss a treatment plan.

Treatment for reticular and spider veins is a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by your insurance, a payment plan is arranged prior to treatment.

Sclerotherapy and laser therapy are scheduled for 30 minute blocks (20 minutes of treatment), four weeks apart - most patients will require 3-5 treatment sessions. A test treatment will be performed to ensure you do not have any serious side effects.

While complete elimination of abnormal veins may not occur, substantial improvement is expected. Annual examination for reticular and spider veins is recommended to monitor and avoid possible recurrence.
