As such, instead of simply providing the cosmetic treatment for spider veins, we conduct a thorough investigation to determine if you have underlying vein disease. The investigation starts with a personal consultation with the vein doctor. They examine your leg veins, identify the potential signs of vein disease, review your medical history, and run advanced vascular imaging tests. Duplex ultrasound is a vascular imaging test that visualizes the blood flow in your leg veins, revealing the source of your problems. It facilitates the curation of the ideal vein treatment plan.

After the diagnosis, the vein doctors curate the ideal vein treatment plan for your specific needs. Sclerotherapy is an effective treatment for patients without underlying vein disease, i.e., if you have spider veins without venous insufficiency. However, if you have underlying venous insufficiency, the vein doctor will recommend treatments for the medical problem before sclerotherapy. The treatment plan will be based on your specific conditions, lifestyle, medical history, and insurance coverage options.

The primary vein treatment may include radiofrequency ablation, endovenous laser ablation, or VenaSeal. These procedures close the diseased saphenous vein to restore effective blood circulation to the heart, treating the root cause of your spider veins and varicose veins. These treatments are performed under local anesthesia, and they conclude within an hour with no downtime.

The following is a brief overview of the possible vein treatments:

• Radiofrequency Ablation: The vein doctor makes a small incision on the skin’s surface to insert a catheter into the diseased vein under ultrasound guidance. The catheter, once driven into the diseased vein, delivers thermal energy to shut it down. The accumulated blood reroutes to healthier leg veins.
• Endovenous Laser Ablation: The vein doctor delivers local anesthesia and makes a small incision on the skin’s surface. The laser fiber is driven through the incision and into the diseased vein under ultrasound guidance. The accumulated blood flows into healthier veins.
• VenaSeal: The vein doctor injects a medical adhesive into the diseased saphenous vein to seal its vein walls, turning it into a hardened scar tissue that eventually gets absorbed by the body. The accumulated blood reroutes to healthier leg veins to restore smooth blood circulation.

The cosmetic treatment (sclerotherapy) becomes a possibility after the primary vein treatment. You may also be eligible for sclerotherapy if the diagnostic test reveals that you don’t have underlying vein disease to begin with. Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive, painless, and highly effective treatment that’s been used to treat spider veins for decades.

During the sclerotherapy treatment, the vein doctor injects a special solution called sclerosant into the spider veins. The sclerosant solution fuses the spider veins’ walls, turning them into hardened scar tissues that eventually get absorbed by the body and fade away. This is the most effective way to get rid of spider veins. You’ll notice significant improvements in 2 to 3 weeks, but you might need 2 to 4 sclerotherapy treatments for optimal results.

The entire vein treatment process should conclude within an hour. Once the treatment is over, your vein doctor will discuss your recovery guidelines. You’ll have to wear compression stockings for a few weeks, avoid heavy workouts, walk frequently, elevate your legs while sitting. However, you can resume most of your daily activities immediately.
