What Causes Spider and Varicose Veins?

Smooth blood circulation heavily relies on one-way valves in blood vessels, ensuring a consistent flow toward the heart. Unfortunately, extended periods of sitting or standing can disrupt this balance by causing blood to pool in the veins of the legs. Consequently, the pressure within the veins increases, leading to their stretching and compromising the functionality of the valves. This impaired flow control eventually culminates in spider and varicose veins forming. Furthermore, the weakening of vein walls and valves amplifies the pressure, exacerbating the development of these vein-related issues.

Treatment Options

Understanding the impact of spider and varicose veins on your quality of life, we provide a range of effective treatment options tailored to your needs.

Vein Ablation

Through radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and laser vein ablation, we can safely and efficiently close the abnormal vein by delivering thermal energy through a small catheter. These minimally invasive office-based procedures effectively treat venous insufficiency, provide long-lasting relief from symptoms, and improve overall vein health.

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is a widely utilized technique for small varicose vein and spider vein treatment. By injecting a sclerosant solution into the affected vein, we induce its collapse and subsequent disappearance, significantly improving the appearance of visible veins.

VenaSeal

VenaSeal™ is an innovative procedure that utilizes a unique adhesive to seal damaged veins. With comparable effectiveness to radiofrequency ablation, VenaSeal™ offers a reliable solution for closing problematic veins.

ClariVein

ClariVein combines chemical and mechanical interventions to effectively treat underlying venous insufficiency. Using a small catheter, this technique precisely targets and treats the diseased veins.

Microphlebectomy

Microphlebectomy, a specialized procedure performed at our reputable vein clinics, is highly regarded for addressing bulging varicose veins. Under local anesthesia, the vein is carefully removed in small segments through tiny incisions, ensuring precise and effective treatment, enhancing vein appearance, and relieving associated symptoms.
