Varicose Veins, Spider Veins, & Reticular Veins

Vein issues are common and can range from cosmetic concerns to more serious medical conditions.

The three most common types are varicose veins, spider veins, and reticular veins. Varicose veins are enlarged, swollen, and twisted veins that often appear in the legs. They occur when vein valves weaken, causing blood to pool, leading to symptoms such as aching, heaviness, and swelling. Spider veins are small, thin veins that appear red, blue, or purple on the skin’s surface. While often harmless, they may cause discomfort or cosmetic concerns. Reticular veins are medium-sized veins that appear blue or green beneath the skin, sometimes associated with varicose or spider veins, and can cause minor discomfort.

Treatment for Varicose Veins, Spider Veins, & Reticular Veins

Sclerotherapy for Spider & Reticular Veins: A minimally invasive procedure where a solution is injected into the veins, causing them to collapse and fade.

Laser Therapy for Veins: Uses light energy to heat and destroy spider veins and smaller varicose veins.

Endovenous Ablation for Varicose Veins: A procedure that uses radiofrequency or laser energy to close off larger varicose veins.
