Are unsightly spider veins affecting your confidence and comfort? Many individuals struggle with these small, tangled clusters of blood vessels that appear close to the skin’s surface. Often found on the legs and face, spider veins can be a cosmetic concern for many. Understanding what causes these veins and how they can be effectively treated is crucial for anyone seeking relief and improved skin appearance.

Our surgeons have over 60 years of combined experience and offer non-surgical treatments to address spider veins, combining compassion with cutting-edge techniques to deliver results that enhance your natural beauty.
What Are Spider Veins?
Spider veins, medically known as telangiectasias, are small, dilated blood vessels that form just under the skin. These veins are often red, blue, or purple and can create a web-like appearance. While generally harmless, they can be a source of embarrassment or discomfort for those affected.
Common Causes of Spider Veins
- Genetics: A family history of spider veins increases your likelihood of developing them.
- Age: As we age, the valves in our veins can weaken, leading to visible spider veins.
- Occupation: Jobs that require long periods of standing or sitting can contribute to their development.
- Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy, menopause, or the use of birth control pills can affect vein health.
- Sun Exposure: Excessive sun exposure, particularly on the face, can cause spider veins.
Treatment Options at Southeastern Plastic Surgery
At Southeastern Plastic Surgery, we offer effective treatments for spider veins, helping you regain confidence in your appearance. Our team utilizes advanced techniques that prioritize your safety and comfort. Some of the non-surgical treatment options available include:
Sclerotherapy
This is a minimally invasive procedure where a solution is injected into the affected veins. The solution causes the veins to collapse and eventually fade. Sclerotherapy is a popular choice due to its effectiveness and quick recovery time.
