Introduction to Spider Veins
Are you self-conscious about the unsightly veins in your legs? Are you feeling physical discomfort and want to alleviate achy, itching sensations? Spider veins can be effectively treated using safe and minimally invasive methods. One common approach is injecting a solution directly into the affected veins, which causes them to collapse and fade. Additionally, laser treatments are available for reducing or removing spider veins.
What are Spider Veins?
Did you know that those damaged blood vessels beneath the skin’s surface in your legs or face are known as telangiectasias or Spider veins? They commonly appear as blue, purple, or red clusters or lines that resemble spider webs or tree branches. Although they do not have any detrimental consequences, they can cause discomfort, burning, and itching, particularly in the legs. Multiple factors can contribute to their development but no specifics have been made clear. Some factors include:
- Genetic Syndromes
- Injury
- Trauma
- Activities or Occupations that require long periods of standing or sitting
- Pregnancy
- Hormonal Changes
- Weight Changes
- Disease of the Connective tissue

What to Expect on the day of Spider Vein Treatment?

The common treatment for spider veins, known as sclerotherapy, injects small doses of sclerosing solution into the affected veins.

Most treatments take about 30 minutes to an hour, however, the duration can depend on the patient. Your surgeon can use local anesthesia or other pain management options to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Every LVSA surgeon will follow the treatment plan previously discussed in your consultation as it’s tailored to your specific needs.

Each person’s pain tolerance is different, discomfort is usually brief. Most patients are instructed to use compression stockings for about a week to help prevent blood pooling in the treatment areas and increase overall healing.
