While spider veins are a cosmetic concern, certain patterns may indicate underlying vein disorders and should be carefully assessed by a Vascular Vein Center provider. A non-invasive ultrasound mapping will allow your provider to explore your legs’ venous systems and identify any underlying conditions, which must be addressed first to ensure the best cosmetic results.
Vascular Vein Centers’ spider vein sclerotherapy treatments have a very high success rate; however, multiple treatment sessions are often necessary because some spider vein patterns are extremely resistant to therapy. Often, over time, new spider vein patterns appear at or near the treated sites.
You may not be able to completely avoid spider veins, but leg vein health can be maintained and improved by:
- Wearing elastic compression stockings
- Exercising regularly
- Elevating your legs
- Maintaining a healthy weight and diet
