Spider Veins FAQ'S

What are Spider Veins?

Spider veins appear just beneath the surface of your skin and are often red, blue, or purple in color. As the name suggests, spider veins branch out like a spider web and most often form on your legs or face.
The root cause of spider veins is valve issues that interfere with the normal flow of blood through your veins. Typically, a valve opens to allow blood to flow through and closes to prevent it from traveling backward.
When it’s not functioning properly, a valve can allow blood to leak backward through the vein. This causes a weakening in the vein walls and allows the blood to pool.

When should I schedule an Evaluation of Spider Veins?

While spider veins typically aren’t painful, there are some signs you need to watch for. Schedule an evaluation at Phlebologist Miami if you have signs of a blood clot, such as:

You should also request an evaluation if you have any leg pain or skin discoloration surrounding the vein. Phlebologist Miami can also provide consultations via telemedicine appointments and determine if you need to come into the office.

How are Spider Veins Diagnosed?

The team at Phlebologist Miami offers physical exams to evaluate spider veins and the general health of your legs. They often rely on an exam to confirm visible veins but may request an ultrasound to assess dysfunction in your vein.

How are Spider Veins treated?

If you’re not having pain or other bothersome symptoms, you may not need treatment for spider veins. However, your provider at Phlebologist Miami may suggest lifestyle changes and wearing compression socks to improve circulation. The team always uses the least invasive treatments first.

If you have painful spider veins or wish to treat them for cosmetic reasons, the team may recommend noninvasive laser treatment or surgery to destroy or remove the veins. This type of surgery uses minimally invasive techniques that require only small incisions.

In addition to treating existing spider veins, the team at Phlebologist Miami can guide you in preventing new ones. This may involve incorporating more activity into your daily life and eating healthy foods to support vein health.

You should also maintain a healthy body weight and avoid sitting for long periods of time without a break.
