Spider Veins
Spider veins are thin superficial blood vessels that appear red, purple, or blue. They frequently form on the thighs or the calves, but can appear anywhere on the leg and even the face. Learn more about spider veins.
Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are swollen blood vessels that appear prominently on the surface of the skin. They develop most commonly on the legs and can become twisted and unsightly, sometimes causing pain or discomfort. Learn more about varicose veins.
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is a popular non-surgical treatment for spider vein removal. Minimally invasive, sclerotherapy entails the injection of a solution introduced directly into the veins that causes them to turn white or fade, and eventually disappear. Learn more about sclerotherapy and how it works to improve the appearance of spider veins.
Laser Vein Removal
In laser vein removal, light passes through the skin, is absorbed by the blood, and causes targeted veins to burst, collapse, or shrink thereby minimizing their appearance. Typically, only a topical anesthetic is required. Learn more about laser procedures as an option for spider and varicose vein removal.
Vein Removal Surgery
Vein removal surgery is generally reserved for people with more severe varicose veins. In vein removal surgery, varicose veins are either ligated or removed from the affected area. Most varicose vein removal surgery requires small incisions and a local anesthetic. Learn more about vein removal surgery.
