Spider Vein Treatments
Minimally Invasive Relief for Smoother, Clearer Skin
Spider Veins Are More Than Skin Deep
Spider veins may be small, but their impact can be significant—affecting both appearance and comfort. These fine, thread-like veins often appear on the legs, thighs, face, or neck and may be red, blue, or purple. While many seek treatment for cosmetic reasons, spider veins can also cause aching, itching, or cramping—especially in the legs.
Common Symptoms Of Spider Veins
- Leg heaviness or aching
- Swelling in the lower legs
- Tenderness or pain along the veins
- Restless legs or night cramps
- Darkening or thickening of the skin on the ankles
- Skin ulcers or open sores
- Veins that appear bulging, rope-like, or twisted
Risk Factors That Contribute to Spider Veins
- Heredity
Family history increases your chances of developing spider veins. - Age
Veins lose elasticity with age, making spider veins more likely. - Gender
Hormonal changes make women more prone to spider veins. - Pregnancy
Increased blood volume and hormone levels can cause vein dilation. - Prolonged Sitting or Standing
Reduced movement affects circulation and increases venous pressure.

How We Treat Spider Veins
Your Treatment Journey
At Vivid Vascular, we offer two proven methods for spider vein removal:
1.
Sclerotherapy
A special solution is injected into the vein using a fine needle. The vein collapses and is absorbed by the body over time.
2.
Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy
For deeper or more complex veins, ultrasound guidance ensures accurate treatment.
3.
Laser Treatment
A high-powered green laser targets abnormal blood vessels, collapsing them without harming surrounding skin.
Each session is quick, safe, and tailored to your specific needs. Most patients return to normal activities the same day.
