Dr. Salloum’s Spider Vein Treatment in Miami Beach, FL, offers a proven solution to unsightly spider veins. This minimally invasive Sclerotherapy procedure effectively eliminates these veins, enhancing your skin’s appearance and boosting your confidence with minimal discomfort.
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.

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.
