Vein care

Spider vein treatment

Spider veins are smaller than varicose veins and usually do not bulge. They are often a cosmetic concern, but they can appear alongside deeper vein problems, so your doctor may recommend an ultrasound first.

People come in for

Web-like veins on the legs
Veins that itch or burn
Spider veins together with aching or swelling
Wanting clearer-looking legs

What to expect

Screening
A doctor examines your legs and decides whether an ultrasound is needed first.
Treatment
A fine needle is used to inject a medicine that closes the small veins.
Afterwards
Your doctor will explain your options and recovery, including how many sessions you may need.
