Cosmetic Spider Vein Removal
Have gorgeous legs with spider vein treatment
Don't avoid showing your legs because you have spider veins — those small clusters of red, blue or purple veins that appear on the thighs, calves and ankles — you are not alone.
It’s estimated that at least half of all women are bothered by this common cosmetic problem.
You can eliminate your spider veins and improve your appearance, Dr Quinn can help. Today there are very effective, safe and relatively painless methods available for eradicating spider veins.
In some women, spider veins become noticeable in their early 20s. For others, the veins may not become obvious until they reach their 40s. Men get spider veins, too. However, usually they are hidden by hair growth on the leg.
A number of factors may contribute to the development of spider veins in the legs, including:
- Heredity
- Pregnancy
- Hormonal shifts
- Weight gain
- Occupations or activities that require prolonged sitting or standing
How we treat varicose veins?
Relax. Even if you are one of the millions of people who suffer from spider veins or varicose veins, we have a treatment plan that is safe, effective, and minimally invasive.
With today’s favorable insurance coverage and Medicare coverage, the treatment of varicose veins is available to many patients. Our comprehensive, non-surgical approach includes Endovenous Laser Treatment, as well as ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy.
Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT) is a quick, minimally invasive laser treatment that requires no hospitalization and no complicated surgery.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. There are no incisions. Instead, a small optic fiber is inserted through a needle into the varicose vein under ultrasound guidance. The laser is activated and, subsequently the vein closes. Once the vein is closed, the blood that was circulating through the vein is naturally rerouted to other healthy veins. Over time, the varicose vein is absorbed by the body.
Most patients will require Sclerotherapy in conjunction with EVLT to treat smaller veins.
Our combined use of treatments allows us to meet the needs of our patients by treating the smallest spider vein to the largest ropelike varicose vein.
Neither option requires hospitalization or surgery. Instead, each is performed in the physician's office. After treatment, we may recommend you wear a compression stocking and limit your activity for 48 hours.
Generally, the patient can be back on his or her feet resuming normal activities the next day, or even sooner.
