If you’ve noticed clusters of red, blue, or purple veins spreading across your legs or face, you’re not alone. Spider veins are incredibly common, especially among women, and though they’re generally harmless, they can affect confidence and comfort. Thankfully, modern medicine offers a proven, effective solution. Sclerotherapy, a minimally invasive treatment that targets spider veins at the source. At Couture Medical, Dr. Candace Spann and her experienced team deliver customized care to help you say goodbye to spider veins for good.
Spider veins are small, dilated blood vessels that appear just beneath the skin’s surface. They’re often hereditary but can also be triggered by:
While spider veins don't usually pose serious health risks, they can be a cosmetic concern—and in some cases, a sign of underlying venous insufficiency.
Sclerotherapy is widely considered the most effective treatment for spider veins. Unlike lasers or surgery, which can be more invasive or less effective on certain vein types, sclerotherapy works by directly addressing the cause of the problem.
During the procedure, a medical-grade solution is injected into the spider veins. This solution causes the vein walls to collapse and seal shut, rerouting blood flow to healthier veins. Over time, the treated veins are naturally absorbed by the body and fade from view.
