How Can I Reduce My Spider Veins?

If natural remedies for spider veins aren’t effective, minimally invasive treatments may be necessary. At California Vein Treatment, we offer a variety of treatments that can help reduce spider veins, including sclerotherapy, endovenous laser ablation, radiofrequency ablation, venaseal, and ambulatory phlebectomy. These treatments are performed on an outpatient basis and involve minimal downtime. Our board-certified vein doctors will diagnose the root cause of your spider veins via duplex ultrasound before curating a personalized treatment plan.

Sclerotherapy is one of the most common treatments for spider veins. It involves injecting a solution directly into the affected veins, which causes them to collapse and fade from view. Sclerotherapy is safe, effective, and can be performed in our office in as little as 30 minutes.

Endovenous laser ablation is a minimally invasive treatment that uses laser energy to close off the affected veins. This treatment is performed under local anesthesia and involves no incisions or sutures. Endovenous laser ablation is safe, effective, and has a high success rate.

Radiofrequency ablation uses radiofrequency energy instead of laser energy. This treatment also involves no incisions or sutures and is performed under local anesthesia. Radiofrequency ablation is a safe and effective way to treat underlying venous insufficiency.

Venaseal is a newer treatment option that uses a medical adhesive to seal off affected veins. This treatment is performed under local anesthesia and involves no incisions or sutures. Venaseal is a safe and effective way to treat the root cause of spider veins — vein disease.

Ambulatory phlebectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that involves removing the affected veins through small incisions in the skin. This treatment is performed under local anesthesia, and it’s ideal for superficial varicose veins on the skin’s surface.

Eating a healthy diet is important for overall health, including the health of your veins. A diet rich in fiber, fruits, and vegetables can help improve blood flow and prevent constipation, which can put pressure on the veins. Foods high in flavonoids, such as berries, citrus fruits, and dark chocolate, can also help strengthen vein walls and reduce inflammation.

Sitting or standing for long periods can put pressure on the veins and cause blood to pool, which can contribute to the development of spider veins. If your job requires you to sit or stand for long periods, take breaks to move around and stretch your legs. Consider elevating your feet above your heart when sitting to improve blood flow.

Smoking can contribute to the development of spider veins by damaging blood vessels and reducing blood flow. Quitting smoking can improve blood circulation and help prevent new spider veins from forming.

Spider veins can be a cosmetic concern or cause discomfort, but there are ways to reduce their appearance and prevent new ones from forming. At California Vein Treatment, we specialize in minimally invasive vein treatments and can help develop a personalized treatment plan to meet your needs. Whether you prefer natural remedies or minimally invasive treatments, we can help you achieve the clear, healthy-looking skin you desire.
