What Are Spider Veins?

Spider veins, also called telangiectasia, form three pattern types: webs radiating from a central point, formations that resemble tree branches, and thin, linear patterns that form almost geometric lines. No matter the pattern they are unsightly, sometimes painful and progress without treatment.

Genetics is the number one contributing factor to developing spider veins. They are more common as you age and your veins weaken. Being sedentary, standing and sitting jobs and carrying extra weight puts added pressure on the venous system, and lack of movement discourages proper blood flow.

What Treatments are Available for Spider Veins?

At Vein Specialists of the South, we offer Comprehensive Vein Care® and promise to offer the right procedure, for the right patient, at the right time. Fulfilling that promise, we offer two procedures for the treatment for spider veins. Cosmetic sclerotherapy is the worldwide gold standard for spider vein treatment. By targeting the problematic vessels and their feeder vessels, we inject a sclerosing solution which causes the vessels to collapse and disappear over time. The body absorbs these non-functioning vessels and reroutes blood supply to healthier vein networks deeper beneath the skin.

For certain types of spider veins, primarily facial spider veins or more difficult-to-treat veins, cutaneous laser therapy may be a  treatment option. The laser uses monochromatic or pure color light to target veins based on color, primarily red and blue vessels. This laser light energy effectively penetrates the skin without damaging it and attacks the spider vein. The spider vein integrity is damaged while preserving the surrounding cells. The spider vein collapses and it is reabsorbed by the body. While most spider veins are better treated by sclerotherapy, having another option for resistant spider veins is ideal.

What Results Will I See?

Typical spider vein treatments involve 2-4 sclerotherapy or 3-6 laser therapy sessions, with visible improvement after the second session. Upon completion of your treatment regimen, you may see up to 70%-80% reduction in visible spider veins, with periodic maintenance sessions to address future spider veins that form.

Is There Any Downtime?

While sclerotherapy is an outpatient procedure, you’re relatively free to resume your normal routine with the addition of wearing compression stockings for 1-3 weeks post-treatment. Laser therapy also has little downtime, though there is a chance of side effects like swelling or redness slowing you down socially.

At Vein Specialists of the South, veins are our passion and the only thing we treat. We help alleviate the distress of painful, unsightly, and uncomfortable veins. For more than 20 years, Vein Specialists of the South has been bringing the latest innovations and advancements in vein care for our patients. At VSS Improving Your Veins, Isn’t Necessarily Vain®.
