Small, visible veins don't have to be a permanent feature of your legs or face.
Thin, web-like veins near the skin's surface are common, especially on the legs, and they don't always fade on their own. Because our team includes board-certified/eligible surgeons experienced in vein treatment, even a straightforward cosmetic concern like this gets the same precision we bring to any procedure we perform.
Spider vein treatment reduces the visibility of small, thin veins near the skin's surface, most commonly using sclerotherapy, an injection that causes the vein to collapse and fade, or laser treatment, which targets the vein with focused light energy. Both approaches cause the treated vein to be reabsorbed by the body gradually.
Spider vein treatment is a good option for patients bothered by small, visible veins on the legs, face, or other areas who are looking for a straightforward, minimally invasive solution. During your consultation, we'll evaluate your veins and skin to recommend whether sclerotherapy, laser treatment, or a combination is the right approach for you.
We evaluate the extent and location of your spider veins and discuss your goals.
We recommend sclerotherapy, laser treatment, or a combination based on your specific veins.
Treatment typically takes thirty minutes or less, depending on the number of veins addressed.
Mild bruising or redness at the treatment site can occur but typically resolves within a few days.
Even a straightforward cosmetic treatment benefits from surgical-level precision.
Sclerotherapy uses an injection to collapse the vein, while laser treatment uses focused light energy. We can recommend the better option, or a combination of both, based on your veins.
Most patients describe mild discomfort, such as a slight stinging or pinch, during treatment.
This depends on the number and extent of veins being treated. Some patients see significant improvement after one session, while others benefit from a series of treatments.
Treated veins typically fade gradually over several weeks, with full results visible within a month or two.
Downtime is minimal. Most patients return to normal activities the same day, though we may recommend wearing compression stockings for a short period after sclerotherapy.
Treated veins typically don't return, though new veins can develop over time due to genetics, prolonged standing, or other factors. We can offer guidance on reducing this likelihood.
Spider vein treatment is typically considered cosmetic and is not usually covered by insurance. Ask our team during your consultation for details on financing options.
