Spider Vein Removal NYC | Spider Vein Removal in NJ

What are spider veins?

The veins of your body are responsible for carrying blood back to your heart. When these vital structures are damaged or do not work properly, the blood pools in the veins and causes them to swell and weaken. Spider veins appear just below the surface of your skin, and their web-like appearance is why they are called “spider” veins. While spider veins do not always require treatment, having them appear on your thighs, face, ankles and feet can present a cosmetic concern.

How are spider veins treated?

We perform spider vein removal in NYC with lasers or sclerotherapy. For red spider veins, our board-certified dermatologists typically recommend laser treatments, while sclerotherapy is recommended for blue spider veins.

In addition to the full array of medical dermatological procedures, we are also known for our artistry in cosmetic dermatology, with a host of rejuvenating options including lasers, injectables, and non-surgical body contouring. When you come to Skin Laser & Surgery Specialists in NYC or NJ, you will find our concierge team dedicated to make your treatment as enjoyable as possible—not just your results, but also in every aspect of your experience.

How is the spider vein treatment performed?

The goal of any spider vein treatment is to destroy the damaged vein and allow your body to re-route blood through healthier veins. Laser treatments are performed by applying laser energy to the vein with a special device. Sclerotherapy is a procedure that uses a series of injections that contain special chemicals that cause the vein to collapse.

Is spider vein treatment painful?

Laser treatments are typically painless, but some patients experience mild discomfort with sclerotherapy when the needle is inserted into the vein. If you are concerned with any discomfort during your treatment for spider veins, speak with your dermatologist and he or she may administer a topical or local anesthesia to help with your comfort.

When will I see results?

During spider vein removal in NJ, the damaged veins are immediately destroyed with treatment, but your body slowly absorbs the vein over the course of a few weeks. Some patients see results of spider vein treatment after one month.

How long do the results last?

The veins are completely destroyed with laser treatments and sclerotherapy, but you can develop new spider veins.

Can spider vein treatment be combined with other treatments?

Depending on your overall cosmetic goals and the areas being treated, Dr. Goldberg may recommend other procedures in conjunction with your spider vein treatment. When you come to our offices in NYC or NJ, our board-certified dermatologists will craft a comprehensive treatment plan.

What is the cost of spider vein treatment?

Spider vein removal is different for every patient; thus, a quote can only be provided after a thorough examination by one of our board-certified dermatologists. We will use our expertise to craft a customized treatment plan and compile a quote that reflects your upcoming treatment.
