Overview
What Are Spider Veins?
Spider veins are small, visible blood vessels that appear near the surface of the skin. They may look red, blue, or purple and often develop on the legs, thighs, ankles, or face. While spider veins are commonly a cosmetic concern, some people may also experience mild discomfort, itching, or sensitivity in the affected area.
At Glamour Plastic Surgery and Med Spa, treatment is personalized based on the size, location, color, and pattern of the spider veins. Options may include laser-based treatment, IPL Photofacial therapy for selected facial vessels, or sclerotherapy for certain leg veins.
During your consultation, Dr. Olga Bachilo will evaluate the area and recommend the most appropriate option for your goals. If veins are painful, swollen, warm, unusually red, or associated with skin changes, a medical evaluation with a vascular specialist may be recommended before cosmetic treatment.

How are spider veins treated?
While spider veins don’t require treatment, their appearance is annoying, and many patients seek spider vein treatment as a cosmetic procedure. While non-invasive treatments such as wearing a supported host may offer some relief, chances are this won’t clear up your veins enough to make a dramatic difference in your appearance.
Depending on your condition, Dr. Bachilo may recommend minimally invasive treatments, such as laser treatment, sclerotherapy or she may recommend surgery to destroy or remove the veins more effectively. Spider vein surgery is generally a straightforward procedure that uses minimally invasive techniques and requires tiny, inconspicuous incisions.
Another common and widely used treatment for spider veins is sclerotherapy, which involves injecting fluid into the veins with a small needle. Still, endovenous laser ablation of EVLT is rapidly gaining widespread popularity among doctors and patients due to its increased effectiveness and ease of use.
Which treatment is best?
Each treatment has its advantages and disadvantages. Sclerotherapy works better on larger veins, but many patients don’t want to deal with needles and injections. Laser therapy is effective for smaller veins but may produce skin pigment loss, making it inappropriate for darker-skinned individuals.
In addition to treating your existing spider veins, Dr. Bachilo will also provide tips and advice to keep you from developing additional spider veins. Spider veins often form when people stand or sit for long periods of time, so you may need to incorporate more exercise into your daily life and eat healthy foods to support vein health. Spider veins may also be the body’s response to carrying excessive weight, so losing weight may help to prevent the formation of new spider veins.
