Spider Vein Treatment

As you become older, you may notice changes in the appearance of your veins. One of them is spider veins, which may occur due to various factors. Although they are most often a cosmetic concern, they may indicate a larger underlying issue. If you have been affected by this condition, you can find a solution for it at Healthy Living Heart and Vein. Our certified cardiologists provide spider vein treatment at our clinics. If you or a family member are suffering from this condition, you can consult with our specialist for the best treatment options. 

Why Do Spider Veins Form?

Spider veins are tiny, dilated blood vessels that appear near the surface of the skin. They are usually red, blue, or purple in color and may look like spider webs or tree branches. Various underlying factors can contribute to this condition, some of which include:

• Genetics
• Hormonal changes
• Standing for long periods
• Prolonged sun exposure
• Aging
• Obesity
• Smoking

Women are more likely to be affected by this condition than men. Since it can impact your cosmetic appeal and health, our specialists recommend early treatment for spider veins. 

Treatments For Spider Veins

At our cardio clinics, we offer a variety of spider vein treatment options depending on the severity of your condition. They include:

• Sclerotherapy: It is a minimally invasive technique that involves injecting a sclerosing solution into the spider veins to make them collapse and disappear. It can be done in our office with little or no downtime.
• Laser treatment: This non-invasive procedure uses a beam of light to heat up and destroy the spider veins. It is ideal for small and superficial spider veins, especially on the face.
• Vein ablation: This is a more invasive procedure that involves inserting a catheter into the affected vein that releases energy to ablate and seal the veins. We reserve it for larger and deeper spider veins.
