What are spider veins?

Spider veins are visible veins that appear as red, purple, or blue at the surface of your skin. They are small versions of varicose veins and often look like a spider’s web. Treatment with Dr. Kasha and his team can eliminate unsightly veins to help boost your confidence.

What are the risk factors for spider veins?

Women are more likely than men to experience spider veins. Other risk factors include a family history of spider or varicose veins, older age, obesity, pregnancy, and sitting or standing for long periods. How does my provider diagnose spider veins?

To diagnose spider veins and develop a treatment plan, Dr. Kasha reviews your symptoms and examines your veins. His team might recommend an ultrasound to get a better look at blood flow through your veins.

What are my spider vein treatment options?

If you’d like to get rid of spider veins, Dr. Kasha and his Desert West Vein & Surgery Center team might recommend:

Lifestyle changes

Making certain lifestyle changes can reduce spider veins or prevent them from recurring. Examples include weight loss, regular exercise, elevating your legs, wearing compression stockings, and not sitting or standing for long periods.

Radiofrequency ablation

Radiofrequency ablation uses radio waves to seal veins, forcing blood to reroute to healthier veins. Closing these underlying veins can help improve or reduce spider veins.

Don’t live with varicose or spider veins that make you feel self-conscious or cause discomfort. Schedule a consultation with Desert West Vein & Surgery Center by phone or online to find out which spider vein treatment is right for you.

Laser treatment

Laser treatment uses light energy to help your body absorb and eliminate unwanted spider veins. Laser treatment can remove small to medium-sized spider veins.

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy helps get rid of spider veins. During the procedure, Dr. Kasha injects a special solution into veins, causing them to shrink and disappear over time. After treatment, wearing compression stockings can optimize your results.
