What Exactly Are Spider Veins?
Spider veins, also called telangiectasias, are tiny, damaged blood vessels that appear on the surface of the skin. They get their name from their spider-web like shape.
Spider veins occur when the valves inside the veins stop working properly. Veins have one-way valves to prevent blood from flowing backward. When these valves weaken, blood starts pooling inside the vein. This causes the vein to enlarge and branch out right under the surface of the skin.
While spider veins aren’t harmful, many people choose to have them treated for cosmetic reasons. The most common places they show up are the legs, face and hands.
What Causes Spider Veins to Develop?
There are a few key factors that can lead to spider veins:
- Genetics – Having a family history of spider veins makes you more prone to developing them. They tend to run in families.
- Pregnancy – The pressure from your growing baby and increased blood volume can damage vein valves. Spider veins often surface during pregnancy.
- Age – Vein valves can weaken over time as we age, allowing spider veins to form. They become more common later in life.
- Sun exposure – Years of sun damage can cause spider veins to appear, especially on the face and hands.
- Weight – Excess weight puts extra pressure on your veins, which can overwhelm the valves. Spider veins are more common if overweight.
- Injury – Trauma from surgery or an accident can damage vein valves. Spider veins may appear after the area has healed.
- Hormones – Estrogen fluctuations during puberty, pregnancy and menopause can trigger spider veins in women. Birth control pills also raise risk.
Why Choose Sclerotherapy Treatment?
Living with spider veins can really impact your self-confidence. The unsightly veins can make you want to hide your legs under long pants, even on hot sunny days.
Sclerotherapy offers a fast, non-invasive solution to erase spider veins. There’s no surgery or downtime required. The entire treatment only takes about 30 minutes start to finish.
The results are amazing. Within a few weeks, those ugly spider veins will be gone for good. You’ll finally have the confidence to show off your legs again!
Other benefits of sclerotherapy include:
- It works on veins of all sizes, both big and small spider veins.
- Results are seen quickly, oftentimes after just one session.
- Each session treats multiple veins at once, not just individual veins.
- There are no major side effects. Itching and bruising are mild and temporary.
- It’s a walk-in, walk-out procedure. No recovery time is needed.
- The solution used is natural and biocompatible with your body.
Now that you know why sclerotherapy is so effective, let’s look at exactly how it works to banish those pesky spider veins.
How Sclerotherapy Spider Vein Treatment Works
Sclerotherapy uses an all-natural, saline-based solution that is injected directly into your spider veins. This solution irritates and scars the vein walls causing them to swell up, seal shut and stick together.
Blood flow is quickly rerouted to healthier veins deeper below the skin’s surface. Over several weeks, the treated spider veins will fade and disappear.
The procedure only takes about 30 minutes or less. Our expert vein specialist will use a very fine needle to inject the solution into each affected vein. Most patients report they only feel a quick pinching or stinging sensation with each injection.
Once finished, we’ll have you put on compression stockings and keep your legs elevated to minimize bruising. You’ll also want to avoid hot baths or showers for 1-2 days. After that, you can resume all normal activities with zero downtime.
See Dramatic Results Within Weeks
With sclerotherapy, results develop gradually over the first month post-treatment. Here’s what you can expect:
- The veins will darken and look bruised for the first 7-14 days. This is normal as the veins constrict.
- After 2 weeks, you’ll notice the veins look lighter and start fading.
- By week 4, over 75% improvement will be visible as veins continue to disappear.
- After 6-8 weeks, optimal results are seen as the veins fade and are reabsorbed by your body.
While a few faint spider veins may linger after the first session, these can be easily treated with a follow-up visit. On average, 2-4 sessions spaced a month apart provide the best overall improvement.
Target Stubborn Facial Spider Veins Too
In addition to leg veins, we also have effective solutions for facial spider veins. These reddish veins can appear on the nose, chin and cheeks due to sun damage and aging.
While less common on the face, sclerotherapy works just as well to banish these embarrassing flaws. We use an even finer needle to precisely target facial veins. Results develop within 4-6 weeks.
We also offer non-invasive IPL photofacials to address facial veins and redness without injections. This specially pulsating light targets blood vessels to fade and diminish them over a series of treatments.
