Introduction

Introduction to Spider Vein/ Facial Vein Removal

Millions of women suffer from spider veins, clusters of veins that appear on the thighs, calves, and ankles. Many people may feel their veins are unsightly or struggle with symptoms related to enlarged varicose veins. At The Carney Center in Virginia Beach, we treat spider veins through sclerotherapy, a simple procedure that permanently removes spider veins. Read on to learn more about spider vein removal and schedule your consultation!

What is Spider Vein/ Facial Vein Removal?

Spider vein removal, also known as sclerotherapy, is a treatment that reduces or eliminates the appearance of enlarged varicose veins. The treatment involves injecting a sclerosing solution into the veins, causing the veins to collapse and fade or disappear while allowing the body to push blood flow through healthier veins. This treatment does not preclude new veins from emerging. The spider vein removal treatment is efficient, minimally invasive, and requires minimal recovery time.

What to Expect on the Day of Spider Vein/ Facial Vein Removal Surgery

During a spider vein removal treatment session, a sclerosing agent is injected into the affected veins, with approximately one injection for every inch of the spider vein. You will feel a few small needle sticks, but the discomfort is usually minimal overall. Once the treatment is complete, you will be encouraged to walk around and move to prevent the formation of blood clots. The entire procedure typically takes no more than an hour, depending on the extent of the treatment required.

Spider Vein/ Facial Vein Removal Recovery

Support hose or compression socks may be required to promote healing. Patients are often pleasantly surprised by the significant difference in appearance after treatment. As the treatment area heals, avoid shaving your legs, applying lotion, or exposing them to the sun. Patients should also avoid strenuous exercise for at least two weeks following their spider vein removal treatment.
