Are you tired of living with the scraggly, web-like marks of dark blue or purpspider veins across the back of your thigh, along your calf, down your ankle, or behind your knee? Our team of board-certified vascular specialists can help.
With six offices across Central Florida, Vascular Vein Centers offers a full scope of minimally invasive vein clearance treatments, including sclerotherapy — the gold-standard solution for lower extremity telangiectasias, or spider veins. Here’s how it works to banish these unsightly veins in no time flat.
Most people develop some form of visible vein damage on their lower extremities as the years go by: More than one in three adults (35%) has large bulging varicose veins on their legs, and about four in five adults (80%) have sprawling, web-like networks of smaller reticular veins and spider veins.
To understand how most cases of lower extremity vein damage unfold, it helps to visualize the ways your large and small veins are interconnected: Large, deep leg veins are like tree trunks that support smaller surface veins; reticular veins are like thinner limbs, and tiny capillaries are like fine branches at the end of each limb.
Veins contain a series of internal one-way valves that function to keep blood flowing efficiently and in the right direction — toward your heart. These valves are more likely to sustain damage or weaken in leg veins, simply because they often work against gravity.
In any size vessel that’s part of a “vein tree,” dysfunctional valves can cause:
Ongoing intravascular pressure can cause the affected vein area to swell, dilate, twist, and distort, or become varicose. When this happens to the tiny superficial capillaries at the ends of a dilated “vein branch,” visible spider vein webs appear as a result.
Unlike larger varicose veins, which can contribute to reduced lower extremity circulation and prompt discomfort, spider veins don’t cause pain, pose a health threat, or worsen over time. In virtually every case, the most concerning thing about them is their appearance.
Luckily, you don’t have to live with weblike vein dilations across your skin — we can clear them in no time with a minimally invasive vein ablation treatment called sclerotherapy.
Sclerotherapy works equally well to help clear away:
This is beneficial if your spider veins happen to be connected to swollen reticular veins or larger varicose veins, as we can typically treat the entire problem area at once.
The in-office treatment is quick, safe, and effective: Using a thin needle, we simply inject an FDA-approved sclerosing liquid or microfoam directly into the problematic vein network. The ablative chemical agent irritates the lining of the targeted veins, causing them to swell shut, collapse, and gradually fade away.
One sclerosing agent we use for quick spider vein clearance at Vascular Vein Centers is Varithena®, an advanced FDA-approved microfoam medication that painlessly collapses spider veins from the inside out.
