Treatment of Spider veins, (including facial veins, veins on the abdomen/chest) and varicose veins

With today’s technology advances we are able to utilize treatments that allow us to more rapidly and less invasively remove both spider vein complexes and large and small varicosities. All treatments are performed in the comfort of an office setting, with no need to go to a surgical center or outpatient hospital setting.

Spider vein complexes respond very well to a combination of laser therapy and sclerotherapy. The laser utilizes light energy to clear the visible surface vein, with sclerotherapy (which is the use of an injection agent) to rid the underlying feeder vein. On facial vein complexes the laser alone is all that is usually required. This type of vein complex is cosmetic and insurance does not cover the treatment. However, some spider veins are a result of Saphenous reflux. The treatment of Saphenous reflux is a covered service. Only an evaluation can determine the underlying cause and define the best treatment.
