Spider Vein Removal at Upper East Side Vein Treatment Clinic

You might have noticed tiny red, blue, or purple veins spreading across your legs like thin webs. At first, they seemed harmless—just a cosmetic concern. But now, they’ve started to itch, burn, or even cause a heavy sensation in your legs. If you’ve been avoiding shorts or skirts because of these veins, or you’re dealing with discomfort, it’s time to take action. Spider veins aren’t just a cosmetic issue; they can indicate underlying venous insufficiency. Fortunately, cutting-edge vein treatments can help you eliminate spider veins safely and effectively.

At Vein Clinics NY, our Upper East Side vein treatment clinic, conveniently located at 1111 Park Avenue, Suite 1B, New York., offers the most advanced, minimally invasive spider vein removal treatments Our board-certified vein specialists are dedicated to providing customized care, ensuring you receive the best possible treatment for your condition.

The Best Treatment for Spider Veins: Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is the gold standard for spider vein treatment. It involves injecting a medical solution called a sclerosant into the affected veins, which causes them to collapse and gradually fade. Over the next few weeks, your body absorbs the treated veins, leaving your skin clear and smooth. Sclerotherapy is a quick, virtually painless procedure requiring no downtime. You can resume normal activities immediately after treatment.

Our vein specialists customize sclerotherapy to match your unique needs, ensuring the most effective results. If you have small, visible spider veins without underlying venous insufficiency, this treatment can be performed as a standalone procedure. However, if your spider veins are accompanied by varicose veins or symptoms like leg swelling and heaviness, we address the underlying issue before proceeding with the removal of the spider vein.

The Best Treatments for Varicose Veins and Venous Insufficiency

Spider veins often develop due to venous insufficiency, a condition where faulty valves in the veins cause blood to pool, leading to pressure buildup and vein damage. This can result in larger, bulging varicose veins, leg swelling, and skin discoloration. If you have spider veins along with symptoms of venous reflux, treating the root cause is essential before undergoing sclerotherapy. Below are the best varicose vein treatments we offer:

Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA)

EVLA is a minimally invasive procedure that uses laser energy to close off diseased veins. A thin laser fiber is inserted into the vein, and controlled heat seals the vein shut. Your body naturally reroutes blood flow to healthier veins, eliminating symptoms like swelling and leg fatigue. This treatment for varicose veins is performed under local anesthesia.

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

Like EVLA, RFA uses thermal energy to close malfunctioning veins, but instead of a laser, it employs radiofrequency waves. A catheter delivers controlled heat to the vein walls, causing them to collapse and be reabsorbed. RFA is one of the best treatments for varicose veins, offering fast relief from symptoms with minimal discomfort.

VenaSeal Closure System

VenaSeal is a cutting-edge, non-thermal technique that uses medical-grade adhesive to seal diseased saphenous veins. This procedure eliminates the need for tumescent anesthesia, reducing discomfort and recovery time. VenaSeal provides an excellent alternative for patients who prefer a gentler approach to venous insufficiency treatment.

ClariVein® Mechanochemical Ablation

ClariVein® is an innovative treatment that combines mechanical and chemical methods to close problematic veins. A rotating catheter disrupts the vein lining while delivering a sclerosant, effectively sealing the vein. This procedure is highly efficient for treating venous insufficiency and preventing the formation of new spider veins and varicose veins.

Ambulatory Phlebectomy

If you have more prominent varicose veins, ambulatory phlebectomy may be recommended. This procedure involves the removal of superficial varicose veins through tiny skin punctures. It’s performed under local anesthesia and leaves no visible scars. Ambulatory phlebectomy is often combined with other venous insufficiency treatments for optimal results.
