Spider veins alone will rarely cause symptoms other than localized itching and burning. Sometimes, spider veins of the legs can be associated with underlying varicose veins that are not visible at the surface. Leg symptoms and signs commonly associated with visible or non-visible varicose veins include:
ENDOVENOUS LASER TREATMENT (ELT) replaces vein stripping surgery with a minimally-invasive approach of using laser-generated energy through an optic fiber to eliminate the underlying abnormal vein.
SCLEROTHERAPY is a versatile method of treating varicose veins and spider veins in which a medication, called a sclerosant, is injected into the damaged vein through a small needle. For larger veins (varicose veins), sclerotherapy is performed under ultrasound guidance.
VEINWAVE is a revolutionary thermal technique used by physicians around the world to eliminate spider veins and fine thread veins, known as telangiectasias. It is the treatment of choice for spider veins that are too small to treat with injection sclerotherapy and it is particularly effective for the treatment of facial telangiectasias.
