What Are Varicose Veins?

These are bulging veins that are larger than spider veins and are usually associated with symptoms (pain, heaviness, fatigue). Rarely, varicose veins can lead to dermatitis and leg ulceration. Varicose veins also can increase the risk of phlebitis and blood clots.

What Causes Varicose Veins?

Heredity is the number one factor contributing to the development of varicose veins. Hormonal factors, pregnancy, aging, standing occupations, excess weight, and leg injuries or surgeries could also contribute to the development of varicose veins. The condition can be painful and create a less appealing look in the legs.

What Treatments Are There For Varicose Veins, And How Do They Work?

At The Cosmetic Vein & Laser Center, we use the following cutting-edge technologies to treat varicose veins:

  • Endovenous Laser Therapy is a minimally invasive procedure that involves using a laser to close off the affected vein. This treatment is usually performed in an outpatient setting and requires no anesthesia.
  • Ambulatory Phlebectomy/Microphlebectomy is another minimally invasive procedure that involves the removal of the affected vein through small incisions. This treatment is also usually performed in an outpatient setting and requires no anesthesia.
  • Duplex Ultrasound Examination is a diagnostic test that uses sound waves to create images of the veins. This test can help to determine the cause of the varicose veins or spider veins.
  • Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure that involves injecting a solution into the affected vein. This solution helps to collapse the vein and prevent it from reopening. This treatment is usually performed in an outpatient setting and requires no anesthesia.

What Are Spider Veins?

Spider veins are small red, blue, and purple veins that commonly appear on the surface of the legs. At least one-third of women are troubled by this common problem. People often seek treatment for spider veins because of cosmetic concerns. However, there can be associated symptoms due to underlying varicose vein problems. A thorough examination should be performed prior to treatment and may require a non-invasive ultrasound evaluation to determine if any underlying problem exists.

What Are the Treatments For Spider Veins?

There are several treatments available for spider veins, each of which works in a slightly different way.

  • Spider Vein Laser Therapy works in a similar way to sclerotherapy but uses lasers instead of injections. The heat from the laser damages the vein, causing it to collapse and disappear over time.
  • Spider Vein Sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution directly into the affected veins. The solution then irritates the lining of the vein, causing it to collapse and eventually fade away.

Regardless of which treatment you choose, you can expect a significant improvement in the appearance of your spider veins, which fade away and disappear in the days and weeks following your treatment.
