Spider Vein Therapy

The timeline for results varies from person to person and depends on the severity of the treated veins. Typically, patients see improvements in the appearance of their veins a few weeks after their spider vein therapy.

• Sclerotherapy results: Veins normally begin to fade a few weeks after treatment, with continued improvement over the following months. Larger veins may take longer to resolve.
• Vbeam® Perfecta: You may notice improvements within 2 to 4 weeks as the treated veins gradually fade away. Doctors often recommend multiple sessions for optimal results.

While treated veins generally do not return, new veins can develop over time due to factors like genetics, aging, or lifestyle habits. To maintain your results, proactive care—like wearing sunscreen and considering periodic maintenance treatments—can be beneficial. Our providers will guide you in creating a care plan that helps you preserve healthy skin.

Varicose veins are abnormally or unusually enlarged or swollen veins protruding below skin – the protrusion of which is visible on the surface. Spider veins are small, dilated blood vessels seen near the surface of the skin typically appearing dark purple or red in color – they show as singular entities or sometimes in large mass.

The treatment itself is relatively painless and often subjects you to little or no downtime. Most patients return to their daily routine functions the same day as the treatment, so it really is a pretty simple undertaking.

Upon receiving treatment, definitive results of eradicating the veins will take several weeks. Depending on the size and severity of the case, you could be looking at a few months. Other things to be aware of when caring for your treated veins after your appointment:

• Wearing compression stockings or bandages will help maintain proper pressure on the site of treatment, which will help deliver the most desirable results.
• Avoiding sun exposure to the treated areas is highly suggested following your treatment.
• Veins that are successfully treated with laser generally never return, but new veins may appear over time.
• Schedule a follow-up with the physician to ensure that things are progressing at a desirable rate and to make sure that you don’t need additional injections/treatment.
