Find the Best Spider Vein Treatments with Dr. Kindelan
Summary
Finding the best spider vein treatments involves understanding the root cause of your condition. Spider veins are often the visible signs of underlying venous insufficiency. The treatment process begins with a comprehensive diagnosis, which helps our expert vein doctors tailor the best approach to your individual needs.
You might have noticed small, twisted veins just under the surface of your skin, often on your legs. These veins, known as spider veins, can be frustrating and even embarrassing, making you self-conscious about showing your legs. The appearance of spider veins can be accompanied by discomfort such as heaviness, aching, or even itching.
If you’re seeking relief and a cosmetic solution, you’re in the right place. At Vein Treatment Clinic, we offer advanced treatments to eliminate spider veins, restore your skin’s natural appearance, and help you feel confident once again. Dr. Joshua Kindelan, an expert in venous and lymphatic medicine, specializes in using state-of-the-art, minimally invasive techniques to treat spider veins and their underlying causes. He brings years of specialized training and a wealth of experience to help you find the best spider vein treatments.
Here’s how to find the best treatment:
- Diagnose the underlying cause: Spider veins may be linked to venous insufficiency.
- Non-invasive treatments: Sclerotherapy is the most common treatment for spider veins.
- Advanced treatments for underlying issues: If you have venous insufficiency, treatments like endovenous laser ablation, radiofrequency ablation, VenaSeal, or ClariVein may be necessary before tackling the spider veins.
- Covered by insurance: Most treatments are covered by medical insurance if they’re deemed medically necessary.

What Are the Best Spider Vein Treatments?
Spider veins can appear for various reasons, but they often signal an underlying condition called venous insufficiency. This condition occurs when the valves in your veins are not functioning properly, leading to poor blood flow. That’s why our vein doctors at Vein Treatment Clinic always perform a duplex ultrasound to identify the root cause of your veins first.
If you don’t have venous insufficiency, you can typically treat your spider veins with sclerotherapy. However, if venous insufficiency is present, you’ll likely need treatments such as endovenous laser ablation (EVLA), radiofrequency ablation (RFA), VenaSeal, or ClariVein first. Once these procedures have addressed the root cause, sclerotherapy is usually performed as a final step to target and eliminate the visible spider veins.
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is one of the most effective treatments for spider veins. During the procedure, a solution is injected into the veins, causing them to collapse and eventually disappear. This is ideal for spider veins that don’t have an underlying venous issue. The procedure is quick, relatively painless, and requires no downtime, allowing you to resume your regular activities immediately after treatment.
Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA)
For patients with venous insufficiency, endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) may be necessary to treat the underlying cause before tackling the spider veins. EVLA uses laser energy to close off damaged veins, restoring proper blood flow to healthier veins. The procedure is minimally invasive, typically performed under local anesthesia, and requires only a small incision. The treatment takes about an hour, and most patients return to normal activities the same day.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is another advanced treatment for venous insufficiency. RFA uses radiofrequency energy to heat and close problematic veins, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins. It’s similar to EVLA but uses heat from radiofrequency instead of laser light. Like EVLA, RFA is minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia. Patients typically experience little to no discomfort, and the procedure can be completed in less than an hour.
VenaSeal
VenaSeal is a newer treatment option that uses medical adhesive to seal problematic veins. The adhesive is delivered via a catheter, causing the vein to collapse and eventually fade from view. The procedure is quick and doesn’t require heat or laser, making it a comfortable option for patients who may have concerns about heat-based treatments. VenaSeal has the added benefit of requiring no compression stockings after the procedure.
ClariVein
ClariVein combines mechanical and chemical techniques to treat venous insufficiency. A catheter is inserted into the vein, and the tip of the catheter is rotated while a sclerosing solution is infused. This results in the closure of the vein and an improvement in blood flow. Patients can return to their normal activities soon after treatment, making it a convenient choice for those looking for a quick solution to their vein issues.
