Spider veins—those small, visible red, blue, or purple lines just beneath the skin—can make many people feel self-conscious about their legs or face. While they are usually harmless, they often indicate weakened blood vessels and can worsen over time. Spider vein removal treatments can safely and effectively reduce their appearance, helping you regain clear, even-toned skin and renewed confidence.

What Are Spider Veins?
Spider veins, also called telangiectasias, are small, dilated blood vessels that commonly appear on the legs and face. They may resemble thin web-like patterns or tree branches and are caused by weakened or damaged valves within the veins.
Common causes include:
- Genetics and family history
- Hormonal changes or pregnancy
- Prolonged standing or sitting
- Sun damage
- Aging
While spider veins are generally a cosmetic concern rather than a medical issue, they can sometimes cause mild discomfort or heaviness in the legs.
What Is Spider Vein Removal?
Spider vein removal is a minimally invasive treatment designed to collapse or close off visible veins so that they fade naturally over time. Depending on the patient’s needs, Dr. Ivers may recommend one or more of the following approaches:
- Laser therapy: Uses focused light energy to target and diminish spider veins through the skin’s surface.
- Sclerotherapy: Involves injecting a specialized solution into the vein to close it off and redirect blood flow to healthier veins.
Both options are safe, effective, and performed in-office with little to no downtime.
Benefits of Spider Vein Removal
Spider vein removal offers several aesthetic and physical benefits, including:
- Improved appearance: Reduces or eliminates visible veins for smoother, more even skin
- Boosted confidence: Enhances comfort wearing shorts, dresses, or swimwear
- Minimally invasive treatment: Performed quickly with no incisions or major recovery time
- Long-lasting results: Treated veins gradually fade and are unlikely to return
With proper care and lifestyle adjustments, patients can enjoy clear, beautiful skin for years to come.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Spider vein removal may be right for you if you:
- Have visible spider veins on your legs, face, or other areas
- Experience mild discomfort or irritation related to vein appearance
- Are in good general health and have realistic expectations
- Want a quick, non-surgical treatment with minimal downtime
During your consultation, Dr. Ivers will evaluate your skin and veins to recommend the best treatment option for your individual needs.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
Spider vein removal treatments are typically quick and comfortable. Laser sessions feel like brief, warm pulses on the skin, while sclerotherapy involves small injections with minimal discomfort.
After treatment, mild redness or swelling may occur but typically resolves within a few days. Compression garments or sun protection may be recommended depending on the treatment area. Results begin to appear within a few weeks as treated veins fade naturally.
