Spider Veins Treatment
Compression Socks/Stockings
Compressions socks are the first and most conservative step in the treatment of spider veins. Wearing compression socks places pressure on the veins in the lower legs and help to improve the blood flow and prevent further spider veins. They also help to relieve swelling and lower the risk of blood clots in the leg.

Vascular Treatments
Sclerotherapy
Tiny needles are used to inject a solution directly into the vein. This solution irritates the lining of the blood vessel, causing it to collapse. Over time, the vessel turns into scar tissue that fades over time.
VenaSeal
The VenaSeal system delivers a small amount of a specially formulated medical adhesive to seal the diseased vein, rerouting blood to nearby healthy veins.
ClosureFast
A small incision is made to access the vein. A cathetar delivers radiofrequency energy to the vein wall, causing it to heat, collapse and seal shut. Once the diseased vein is closed, blood circulation is diverted to other healthy veins.
Microphlebectomy
Microphlebectomy is sometimes recommended to treat unsightly or painful leg veins close to the skin’s surface. With microphlebectomy, varicose veins are removed through small punctures, which leave virtually no scars.
