At Coastal Vascular Center, we understand the impact that unsightly spider and varicose veins can have on your life—not just physically, but emotionally too. Millions of individuals live with the visible and often embarrassing appearance of spider veins, but thanks to modern vascular interventions, you no longer need to.

Spider veins, characterized by their small, web-like appearance on thighs, lower legs, and sometimes the face, are not only a cosmetic concern but can also indicate underlying vascular health issues. These dilated blood vessels are progressive, often increasing in number and visibility with age.
Innovative Solutions for Spider Veins: Sclerotherapy and Laser Therapy
Our minimally invasive approach, sclerotherapy, is a leading solution for those looking to improve the appearance of medium-sized blood vessels (greater than three millimeters in diameter). This ultrasound-guided technique, is often combined with laser treatments. It effectively erases veins from your skin, offering a significant improvement in aesthetics and health.
For finer, reddish spider veins, laser therapy provides a precise and effective alternative, especially in areas that are difficult to treat with injections. These treatments are safe, cause minimal discomfort, and allow for quick recovery, enabling you to resume your daily activities with little downtime.
You are a good candidate for sclerotherapy and laser treatment if:
- If you are embarrassed by the prominent branching spider veins visible on your thighs and lower legs.
- You avoid wearing shorts or swimming apparel because you don’t want others to see your spider veins.
- The spider veins on your face are unsightly, and you must use makeup to camouflage them.
- You are in good overall health and not pregnant.
What Is Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is a non-surgical, minimally-invasive technique. It is ultrasound-guided technique combined with laser vein treatments. This treats these vessels, erasing them from the skin. Sclerotherapy is effective for medium-sized blood vessels (greater than three millimeters in diameter).
Sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution into the vein that forces it to collapse, which stops blood flow. The vein will turn into a scar and fade after a few weeks. Most people who receive this treatment see a 50 to 90 percent improvement. The complete removal of spider veins is not expected in the first treatment, and multiple treatments may be required for optimal results.
The smaller, fine, reddish spider veins are treated with lasers because they’re harder to inject.
Sclerotherapy and laser therapy are safe, time-proven procedures. These procedures cause little, if any discomfort. They provide an improvement in the appearance of spider veins, and there is no downtime. Patients can immediately resume work and almost all normal activities.
Your Path to Recovery
Prior to your treatment, it is advised to stop smoking and avoid certain medications that may increase bleeding. Make sure to discuss everything with your doctor. They will guide you in the process. The goal is to promote a smoother recovery process. Treatments are typically performed on an outpatient basis. Some minor side effects like skin reddening and bruising can occur, these typically subside within a few weeks. Importantly, it’s essential to protect the treated areas from sun exposure following your procedure.
As spider veins can progressively reappear, maintaining your vascular health with potential follow-up treatments and regular check-ups at Coastal Vascular Center is key to long-term improvement.
