Spider veins do not necessarily require medical attention. However, spider veins indicate a deeper issue—chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) of the lower extremities. This is a vein disorder that causes blood to flow backwards and pool in the legs. If a deeper issue such as CVI is identified, treatment will often help prevent or delay additional spider veins from forming.

WHAT ARE SPIDER VEIN SYMPTOMS?

Spider veins often are unsightly and a cosmetic nuisance. Spider veins usually do not cause pain, swell or bulge. They can occasionally itch and burn. If you have spider veins or notice an increasing number of spider veins, and are experiencing other feelings of discomfort (tired, heavy, achy) or pain, this may be a sign of an underlying chronic venous insufficiency of the legs.

WHAT CAUSES SPIDER VEINS?

Hereditary factors play a big role in who develops spider veins. Statistically spider veins occur most frequently in women and individuals that have occupations that requires them to stand or sit for long periods of time. In general, any condition that puts added pressure on the circulatory system increases the chance of spider vein formation.

The most common factors are:

Heredity
Older age
Hormonal
Overweight
Occupation
Sedentary lifestyle
Sun exposure
Trauma/injury

HOW ARE SPIDER VEINS TREATED?

Sclerotherapy is the most common treatment of spider veins.

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment of common spider and small varicose veins without the need of anesthesia. It is used to treat spider veins visible at the surface of the skin. It also applies to treatment of veins that are deeper under the skin surface, which is aided with the use of ultrasound guidance. Sclerotherapy involves the injection of a chemical sclerosant directly into the diseased vein, producing a local irritation and ultimately causing the vein to close. The solution can be in a liquid or foam. The sclerosant we use is the safest and most effective on the market.

The sclerotherapy treatment session takes around 20-45 minutes. It is an outpatient procedure performed in the comfort and convenience of our office. Usually 2-3 sessions are necessary, depending on the severity and number of spider veins. Noticeable results are typically achieved 6-8 weeks after treatment. Sclerotherapy is very safe and patients can return to normal activity immediately after treatment.

Dr. Chan is one of the smartest, kindest, most compassionate doctors I have ever had the pleasure of being treated by. I originally went in for varicose vein and circulation problems in my left leg, and while performing my vein procedure, he took the time to look at my condition and realize something more was going on, and he has been a huge advocate for getting me healthy again. His staff is also extremely friendly and great to work with, and I am just so lucky I was steered towards going to him! I highly recommend Dr. Chan and his practice!!! – Brittany Y.
