Spider Vein Treatments is a medical treatment aimed at reducing the appearance of small, visible veins near the skin’s surface. These veins, also known as telangiectasias, often appear as thin red, blue, or purple lines or web-like networks. Spider veins commonly occur on the legs and face and can result from factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, aging, obesity, prolonged standing or sitting, and sun exposure. While usually not medically dangerous, these veins can cause discomfort, heaviness, or swelling in the legs. The treatment focuses on improving blood flow, preventing vein swelling, and enhancing the cosmetic appearance of affected areas.

Spider Vein Treatments often involve a combination of minimally invasive treatments, one of them is known as Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT); the method targets larger veins that may be the underlying cause of varicose veins and secondary spider veins. The doctor at our affiliated clinic uses laser energy to close the damaged vein, which reroutes blood flow to healthier veins. Over time, the treated vein is absorbed by the body, resulting in relief from pain, swelling, and the sensation of heaviness in the legs.

Benefits of Spider Vein Treatments include the reduction of visible veins, relief from discomfort, and prevention of further vein complications. Legs appear smoother, healthier, and more aesthetically pleasing. Recovery is faster compared to traditional vein surgery, with minimal scarring and a lower risk of complications. The treatment also improves circulation, helping maintain leg health and preventing the formation of additional problematic veins.

Spider Vein Treatments begin by consultation with the doctor at an affiliated clinic. During the consultation, the doctor examines the affected area. This allows accurate identification of prominent veins, including varicose veins and more severe spider veins, which may require treatment. The doctor then creates a personalized treatment plan to target the veins most responsible for discomfort, swelling, or visible imperfections.

The treatment itself is minimally invasive. A small catheter is carefully inserted into the affected vein, and a thin laser fiber is threaded through the catheter. Laser energy is delivered through the fiber, heating the vein walls and causing the vein to collapse and seal shut. Over time, the body naturally reabsorbs the treated vein, while blood flow is redirected to healthier veins. The treatment usually takes about 1 hour and is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring comfort throughout the treatment.

Benefits include immediate relief from leg heaviness, swelling, and discomfort caused by problematic veins. Minimal downtime allows resumption of light daily activities within a day, while strenuous activities may be avoided for 1 to 2 weeks. Legs gradually appear smoother and healthier as the treated veins are absorbed, and the risk of future vein complications is reduced.
