Am I a Good Candidate for Spider Veins Treatment?

Spider veins are those thin, pesky threads that usually appear on the legs. They look like spider webs but are called telangiectasias. While they are not usually harmful, they and may cause embarrassment for someone wearing shorts or a bathing suit. Fortunately, we at Franklin Skin and Laser offer laser treatment and sclerotherapy as options for spider vein treatment.

Who is a Good Candidate for Spider Veins Treatment?

Spider vein treatment may be a good option if you are bothered by your spider veins anywhere on your body. When you talk to our specialist, you will learn about the different approaches to getting rid of spider veins and the best option for your veins may be recommended. If you plan to undergo treatment, you must be committed to following the physician’s instructions for care before and after the procedure. It is important to ask questions and have a realistic outlook about the possible results.

Laser Spider Vein Treatment

Our trained professionals use a state-of-the-art laser in a minimally invasive procedure to destroy the vein so it will be absorbed by the surrounding tissue and disappear. The laser light reacts with the blood in the vein as heat and causes it to collapse. The number of treatments you need depends on the number of veins being treated and how large the area is.

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy has been an effective treatment for spider veins for decades. It involves injecting a chemical directly into the vein. The treatment is minimally invasive as the needle is very thin and small. The chemical is a solution which irritates the vein walls and coagulates the blood. The vein collapses and is absorbed by the body.

After the procedure, you may be asked to wear compression stockings for a few weeks to make sure the veins stay closed. Even though you may no longer have the treated spider veins, more can develop if your lifestyle allows them to occur. Exercise, especially walking, is recommended after the treatment to help the body absorb the treated veins and to help prevent more from forming.

Reach Out to Us for Further Information

If you have questions about spider veins treatment and would like to learn more, we encourage you to get in touch and make an appointment with Franklin Skin & Laser! At our convenient location in Franklin, TN, our caring and dedicated staff will be pleased to explain the details of this process and address any concerns you may have.

I’ve always had a wonderful experience every visit! It’s been over a year since I’ve been coming for all my appointments and everyone is always so pleasant and helpful. Would highly recommend Franklin skin & laser for all of your needs/wants. They have the best staff and the location is always so sanitary.

Recently I had a wonderful experience with my first visit to Franklin Skin and Laser. My appointment was for a second opinion for a cyst which needed to be removed. Dr. B quickly realized I was in an acute situation, and the process of removal needed to be started immediately. Due to incorrect guidance from another doctor office, I was in a potentially dangerous situation. Dr. B explained to me the process, making sure I understood the procedure. He made sure all my questions were answered, and he helped ease all my concerns as he carefully explained the entire process from start to finish. I felt totally comfortable with his expertise. Marie assisted Dr. B, and she was so sweet to me through the procedure. I have worked with cosmetic surgeons in the past, and can honestly say Dr. B is a rare find. He truly cares about his patients, and it shows in his work and also in his interaction with patients. He was thorough and meticulous with my entire procedure. I am so thankful to find him. His staff is awesome, and like Dr. B they genuinely care. I left knowing how to reach the doctor after hours, if needed. I would highly recommend Dr. B, and plan to talk with him about another procedure once completed with this one.

Amazing! Doctor is so knowledgeable and so thorough. I’ve been to many dermatologists in Newport Beach and Beverly Hills and he ranks right up there amongst the best !
