Spider veins can be the result of many factors, including aging. You probably do not wish to put on a pair of shorts with a bunch of blue, red or purple veins showing on your legs. The good news is that you can get treated with sclerotherapy in order to make those veins disappear. Before you know it, you will be ready to wear your shorts and head outside with confidence.
Why You Have Spider Veins
Blood uses veins as passages to go back to the heart. Most of the time, your veins are fighting against the force of gravity. This is particularly rampant on the legs since your blood needs to go all the way up. As a young person, your tissues are still effective and aid the veins to push the blood up in the direction of the lungs and heart. However, as you age, the vigor of the support tissues as well as the veins diminishes. This makes your blood back up and puddle in spots. This manifests in the form of spider veins. Spider veins are located just below the surface of your skin, making them very apparent.
How to Get Rid of Spider Veins
Sclerotherapy has been around for decades. It is still one of the best ways to treat spider veins. During this treatment, a special solution is injected directly into the affected veins. It is designed to irritate the vein and cause the walls to shrink up, thus closing the vein. In the months following the treatment, the vein tissues are gradually absorbed into the body. The spider vein slowly disappears. You do not have to worry about where your blood will pass since it will be routed to an adjacent vein.
It is important to understand that vein treatment is not one-size-fits-all. Sclerotherapy may be done alone or in conjunction with other treatments. It all depends on the unique case.

I can walk to my mail box again
by John Neumann, patient
Category: reviews“I had problems walking to my mail box when I went to Pacific Vein Care. Dr. Conti found I had vein reflux and artery problems in both of my legs. He did his normal vein procedure on one leg and a special procedure at the hospital on the other leg and corrected the artery problems at the same time. I am very happy with the results from the procedures done at Pacific Vein Care to correct both my veins and artery problems. I can walk to my mail box again and not have to stop and rest part way there.”
I am pleased to say my quality of life is back
by Barbara Hoffman, patient
Category: reviews“For thirty Years I have put up with leg pain, throbbing and swelling due to varicose veins. At 63 years old, I made a choice to have Radiofrequency Ablation therapy and I am pleased to say my quality of life is back. I can now take long walks, exercise and stand for long period of time without discomfort. I recently purchased a pair of tall stylish boots and I can actually zip them up because I no longer suffer from edema.”
The procedures were not hard to go through and the result was a tremendous relief.
by Wayne, patient
Category: reviews“I recently – April/May of 2012 – had VNUS procedures done on my right and left legs. Dr. Conti and his staff were superb in the diagnosis and treatment of my condition. The process was fully explained to me and were virtually pain free. There was some discomfort in the week or two after the procedures which were easily handled by over the counter pain medications. I was impressed with Dr. Conti’s knowledge and professionalism and would recommend anyone waiting to treat their varicose veins NOT to wait. The procedures were not hard to go through and the result was a tremendous relief.”
