What are Spider Veins?
Varicose veins, or spider veins, are essentially clusters of purple, blue, or dark red veins that appear on the thigh, calves, and ankles, predominately in women. For some, these will start to show at a younger age, but for most, these begin to really become noticeable after 50.
What is Varicose Vein Treatment?
Varicose veins are more commonly known as “spider veins”. The most common spider vein treatment is usually fairly simple and involves simply injecting a treatment solution directly into the vein. This solution then causes the vein to collapse in size and eventually face in color, as well.
We also offer laser treatments for varicose veins.
