What Are Spider Veins?

Spider veins, also known as telangiectasias, are tiny, damaged blood vessels that appear just beneath the skin’s surface. Often red, blue, or purple, they may appear as thin lines, webs, or branches, and are most commonly found on the legs or face.

While spider veins are typically considered cosmetic, they can sometimes cause mild itching, burning, or discomfort. In some cases, they may be an early sign of underlying venous insufficiency, a more serious condition that affects circulation in the legs.

That’s why at Vein and Knee Pain Vascular Group, we don’t just treat the visible veins. We take a deeper look to identify the root cause. If necessary, we’ll perform a comprehensive ultrasound evaluation to assess for larger vein dysfunction that may be contributing to your symptoms.

What causes spider veins?

Several factors contribute to the development of spider veins, including heredity, pregnancy, hormonal shifts caused by specific events, weight gain, occupations or activities that require prolonged periods of sitting or standing, and the use of certain medications.

Spider veins typically exhibit one of three basic patterns. They may appear in the shape of a spider, with a group of veins radiating outward from a dark central point; alternatively, they may be arborizing and resemble tiny, branch-like shapes, or they may be simple, linear, and appear as thin, separate lines.

Linear spider veins are commonly seen on the inner knee, whereas the arborizing pattern often appears on the outer thigh in a sunburst or cartwheel distribution.

What are treatment options for spider veins?

At Vein and Knee Pain Vascular Group, we offer advanced, non-surgical treatments designed to safely and effectively eliminate spider veins with minimal downtime.

We encourage patients to schedule a consultation to determine the most suitable treatment option for their individual needs.

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is a popular non-invasive treatment for spider veins. This gold-standard treatment involves injecting a medical solution directly into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and fade over time. It’s quick, virtually painless, and performed right in our office. There are two types of sclerotherapy depending on the size and location of the vein.

Foam Sclerotherapy

It is the most commonly used treatment for small-diameter (<5mm) veins.

Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy

Ultrasound guided sclerotherapy is used for the treatment of deeper veins that cannot be seen or felt and for larger superficial veins.

Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA)

Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat larger, deeper varicose veins but in some cases, it can also support treatment of more extensive venous disease that contributes to spider veins.

While spider veins themselves are typically treated with sclerotherapy or laser surface therapy, EVLA may be recommended if deeper, diseased veins (like reticular or perforator veins) are feeding into the visible spider veins. In such cases, treating the root issue with EVLA can prevent recurrence and offer longer-lasting results.
