Do you notice any blue, red, or purple patches or spots on your legs? These patches and spots might indicate spider veins on legs, and we offer the best treatment for quick and painless recovery.
Spider Veins on legs are small, thin, veins that appear just underneath the skin’s surface. Named for their spider-web appearance, they can be red, purple, or blue in color.
Spider veins are damaged blood cells underneath the skin’s surface. These damaged cells often turn red, purple, or blue and do not cause severe health-related complications. However, there might be some common symptoms of spider veins on legs, such as discomfort, burning sensation, itching, and mild leg pain.
The initial treatment for spider veins starts with a thorough physical examination of your legs. This helps our doctors determine the severity of your case and provide you with the necessary treatment. There are many effective laser treatments for spider veins, along with other treatment approaches that include:
Radiofrequency Ablation: Radiofrequency ablation for spider veins is one of the most common treatment approaches. This is a relatively simple treatment procedure where doctors target the damaged veins and use radio waves to create a current for heating the small area of nerve tissue. The heat destroys that nerve area, further preventing it from sending pain signals to the brain.
Sclerotherapy: Sclerotherapy is another popular treatment approach for spider veins. This is a minimally invasive procedure where the doctor will inject a specialized solution to close the spider vein. The overall recovery does not take time, but it might take three to six weeks before you can see the spider veins disappear completely.
Laser Therapy: Another popular treatment approach is Endovenous Laser Ablation for spider veins. This is a non-invasive process where doctors use specialized lasers to create heat and destroy the spider vein. The effective treatment can show immediate results with small spider veins, but larger ones might take one to three months to disappear completely.
