Spider Vein Treatment Benefits
Sclerotherapy effectively reduces the visibility of spider veins, resulting in clearer, more attractive skin.

Spider veins are small, dilated blood vessels near the surface of the skin. These superficial blood vessels can be red, blue, or even purple in color.
Spider veins most commonly occur on the legs, but they are also found on the face or other areas of the body. Depending upon lifestyle, health issues, and physical appearance, spider veins will look different on everyone.

Spider Vein Treatment Before and After Pictures
*All patients are unique and individual results may vary.
How are varicose veins diagnosed?
Dr. Salloum may diagnose your varicose veins based on a physical exam. Dr. Salloum may recommend other tests to find out the extent of the problem and to rule out other disorders.
You might have an ultrasound, which is used to see the veins’ structure, check the blood flow in your veins, and look for blood clots. This test uses sound waves to create pictures of structures in your body.
How are varicose and spider veins treated?
Sclerotherapy Treatment
Sclerotherapy (SKLER-o-ther-a-pee) is the most common treatment for both spider veins and varicose veins. Dr. Salloum uses a needle to inject a liquid chemical into the vein. The chemical causes the vein walls to swell, stick together, and seal shut.
This stops the flow of blood, and the vein turns into scar tissue. In a few weeks, the vein should fade. In some cases the same vein may need to be treated more than once.
Treatments are usually done every 4 to 6 weeks. Current treatments for varicose veins and spider veins have very high success rates compared to traditional surgical treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions about Spider Vein Treatment
What are spider veins, and why do they occur?
Spider veins are small, dilated blood vessels near the skin's surface, appearing red, blue, or purple. They commonly develop on the legs and face due to factors like genetics, prolonged standing, hormonal changes, or sun exposure.
How does sclerotherapy treat spider veins?
Sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution directly into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and eventually be absorbed by the body. This minimally invasive procedure effectively reduces the appearance of spider veins with minimal discomfort.
What can I expect during and after the sclerotherapy procedure?
During sclerotherapy, a fine needle is used to inject the sclerosing solution into the targeted veins. The procedure is typically quick and involves minimal discomfort. After treatment, you may experience slight redness or bruising at the injection sites, but these effects usually subside within a few days. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately.
How many sclerotherapy sessions are needed to see results?
The number of sessions required varies depending on the size and number of spider veins. While some patients see significant improvement after one session, others may need multiple treatments to achieve optimal results. Dr. Gabriel Salloum will assess your specific condition and recommend a personalized treatment plan.
