Spider veins are one of the most common cosmetic concerns affecting both women and men. Whether they've developed gradually over time or became more noticeable after pregnancy, weight changes, or years of standing, spider veins can leave you feeling self-conscious about your legs.
At Advanced Dermatology & Skin Cancer Center, PLLC, we offer effective, minimally invasive treatments—including sclerotherapy and Lutronic DermaV™ laser therapy—to reduce visible veins and restore smoother, clearer-looking skin.
Spider veins are small red, blue, or purple veins that commonly appear on the legs, ankles, and thighs. While they typically aren’t dangerous, many people choose treatment because they want to feel more confident wearing shorts, skirts, dresses, or swimsuits.
Spider vein treatment may be right for you if you have:
Spider veins develop when tiny blood vessels just beneath the skin become enlarged or weakened. While they are very common, several factors can increase your risk.
Common causes include:
Sclerotherapy is considered the gold standard for treating many spider veins on the legs and ankles. During treatment, a specialized solution is carefully injected into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and gradually fade as your body naturally absorbs them.
The procedure is performed comfortably in our office without anesthesia. While many patients notice improvement after a single session, two or more treatments are often recommended for optimal cosmetic results, depending on the number and size of the veins being treated.
For smaller spider veins, broken capillaries, and facial redness, Lutronic DermaV™ offers an advanced, non-invasive treatment option. This state-of-the-art vascular laser uses dual-wavelength technology to precisely target both superficial and deeper blood vessels while protecting the surrounding skin.
As the treated vessels absorb the laser energy, they collapse and are naturally reabsorbed by your body over time, revealing clearer, more even-looking skin.
DermaV is an excellent option for treating:
During your consultation, we’ll determine whether sclerotherapy, Lutronic DermaV™, or a combination of both will provide the best results for your individual concerns.
Every spider vein treatment begins with a personalized consultation. We’ll evaluate the size, depth, and location of your veins before recommending the treatment plan that’s best suited to your goals.
Most appointments take approximately 30 minutes to an hour.
Depending on your treatment plan, you’ll receive either sclerotherapy or Lutronic DermaV™ laser treatment in the comfort of our office. Both treatments are minimally invasive and require little to no downtime.
Most patients return to normal daily activities immediately following treatment.
Depending on your treatment plan, we may recommend:
Spider veins gradually fade as your body naturally absorbs the treated vessels.
Many patients begin noticing improvement within several weeks, although optimal results often require multiple treatment sessions depending on the number and size of the veins being treated.
While successfully treated veins generally do not return, new spider veins can develop over time due to aging, genetics, pregnancy, or hormonal changes.
Most patients find treatment very tolerable. Sclerotherapy feels like a brief pinch with each injection, while DermaV laser treatment is often described as feeling like a quick snap against the skin.
The best treatment depends on the size, depth, and location of your spider veins. Sclerotherapy remains the gold standard for many leg spider veins, while Lutronic DermaV™ is an excellent option for smaller veins, facial spider veins, broken capillaries, and redness. During your consultation, we'll recommend the treatment—or combination of treatments—that will provide the best results.
Most patients benefit from two or more treatment sessions depending on the number, size, and location of the veins being treated.
Spider veins gradually fade over several weeks as your body naturally absorbs the treated vessels. Some veins respond more quickly than others.
Successfully treated veins generally do not return. However, because genetics and aging continue, new spider veins may develop over time.
Spider vein treatment is typically considered a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by insurance.
