those legs again – with confidence!

Both men and women are bothered by the look of their spider veins. These small clusters of red, blue or purple veins that are commonly found on calves, thighs and ankles are particularly bothersome and noticeable to you and others when your legs are bare. It’s estimated that half the women in the U.S. are plagued by spider veins as they are an all too common cosmetic issue.

Spider veins form from high pressure in the venous system. This, in turn, forces the thin walled veins to expand. These engorged capillaries then expand several times their normal size forming spider veins. Spider veins may be associated with “feeder veins” or larger underlying varicose veins.

There are many ways to treat spider veins, but most important is to identify the cause of the spider veins to prevent re-occurrence. Once the source is found, treatment will begin and will take on average 3-5 sessions spaced about 1 month apart to clear your spider veins.
