What Are Spider Veins?
Spider
veins are tiny bluish or reddish surface veins.
They often appear on the legs and/or face resulting from
increased pressure in the vein system. Several factors influence the formation of spider veins,
including:
- Heredity
- Hormonal
changes
- Pregnancy
In
the past, the only option was spider vein removal. Today, we have much
better alternatives.
Laser Spider Vein Solutions
With
the laser spider vein solution, the doctor will take a device that looks
like a large pen with a wire attached and place the tip directly on the
skin over the vein. He will then activate the laser several times along
the length of the vein. You will hear a clicking sound as the laser
fires and will feel a hot sensation. The laser effectively closes the
vein so that blood can no longer flow through. This decreases or
completely gets rid of those purple/red veins.
Most patients describe laser spider vein solutions as a "hot" sensation.
Others describe the spider vein removal process feeling like "tiny pinches".
Either way, the feeling is fleeting, lasting less than a second. Once
the spider vein removal is complete, the discomfort disappears. We will
provide you with an ice pack to minimize discomfort at your request.
Our
spider vein laser is a Dornier D940 Diode™.
This laser has a unique wavelength that is specially designed to treat
superficial veins. Without
special safety precautions, any laser can be dangerous. However, with
our laser spider vein solutions we ensure safety by following certain
safety precautions.

Other Spider Vein Solutions
Laser
spider vein solutions are often used instead of injections (sclerotherapy)
when veins are located on the face. Laser spider vein solutions may also
be used in addition to injection
spider vein therapy,
if the veins are larger than 1mm in diameter. This helps to shrink the
veins down so that the sclerotherapy is more effective.
Only
a doctor can advise you effectively about spider vein solutions. Call
