Spider Veins
Tired of Spider Veins?
Ready to remove your spider veins? These thin, web-like veins that appear just beneath the surface of the skin can cause discomfort and self-consciousness. At National Vascular Associates, we offer minimally invasive treatment options to help you achieve clearer, healthier-looking skin.
Unlike varicose veins, which are larger and raised, spider veins are smaller but can still indicate issues with circulation or venous pressure. They often form when valves in the veins weaken, leading blood to pool and create visible vein clusters.
Are You Experiencing These Common Symptoms?
Thin, spidery veins that appear red, blue, or purple
Mild itching or burning in the affected area
A feeling of heaviness in the legs
Skin sensitivity where the veins are located
Located on bony prominences or pressure points (e.g., toes, heels)
Why Patients Choose Spider Vein Treatment?
Patients seek professional care for spider veins for a combination of health and lifestyle reasons, including:
- Reducing the appearance of visible leg veins
- Improving comfort and circulation
- Addressing changes after pregnancy or aging
- Receiving expert evaluation to rule out underlying venous disease
Our approach balances medical expertise with patient-centered goals, ensuring safe and appropriate care.

Does Spider Vein Treatment Hurt?
Our Spider Vein Treatment Options
Our goal is to provide effective, minimally invasive treatments that minimize discomfort and downtime.
At National Vascular Associates, our team evaluates your medical history and performs a physical examination. In some cases, additional tests may be recommended to rule out underlying venous conditions.
Sclerotherapy
- How It Works: A medicated solution is injected into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and be reabsorbed by the body.
- Benefits: Quick, minimally invasive, and highly effective for smaller veins.
- Recovery: Patients can typically resume normal activities immediately.
Laser Treatment
- How It Works: Focused laser light targets and heats the spider veins, causing them to fade over time.
- Benefits: No incisions or injections required.
- Recovery: Mild redness or swelling may occur but usually subsides quickly.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
- How It Works: Uses radiofrequency energy to close off problematic veins, redirecting blood flow to healthier vessels.
- Benefits: Suitable for more extensive areas of spider veins or mild varicose veins.
- Recovery: Typically quick, with minimal discomfort.
