Spider veins can start squiggling as tiny lines that can be red or blue. They appear more frequently on the surface of the ankles, calves and thighs. These small capillaries can be isolated to a single area, but they can also be presented with varicose veins.

It has been estimated that one third of the female population has some type of spider veins, making this a very common problem. While they are mostly bothersome from a cosmetic point of view, they can cause itching, pain, night cramps, and "heaviness".

Factors that contribute to the creation of spider veins include:

    Heritage
    Weight gain
    The pregnancy
    hormones
    Stay seated or standing
    Trauma

The treatment of spider veins

While you may have spider veins, you do not have to live with them. There are treatments available that can be eliminated permanently. Dr. Goldstein is able to get rid of the appearance of spider veins through sclerotherapy or laser treatment.

Sclerotherapy is the first treatment Dr. Goldstein will carry out. This is a non-surgical procedure that involves injecting a solution, called sclerosing, directly into the problem area. There is a wide variety of solutions used and the dose depends on the size of the spider veins. The solution causes the spider veins to collapse and disappear.

This can take several treatments that are performed on an outpatient basis. The treatments usually take 30 minutes to an hour. Most patients are very satisfied with the results of sclerotherapy, but some want or require additional treatment. In these cases, Dr. Goldstein uses laser treatment.

For veins that are too small for a needle, Dr. Goldstein can then try laser treatment in the areas. During laser treatment, intense light is directed at the spider veins, which removes them permanently. There may be bruising after the laser treatment, but this fades over time. Laser treatment is used only after sclerotherapy has been done, and it is not a substitution procedure.

It is important that you set up an initial consultation to discuss your treatment of spider veins with Dr. Goldstein before the procedure.
