Spider Veins

Take Down Spider Veins’ Web

Spider veins are like varicose veins but smaller. They are often red or blue and their short, jagged lines can look like spiderwebs.

Since Dr. Rifai has many years of treating spider veins with injection techniques, his success rate is very high.

Procedure Overview: Spider Veins

Contrary to popular belief, lasers are not the most successful way to treat spider veins. Instead, very small needles are used to inject a solution called sclerosaut into the problem areas.

Recovery Time: Spider Veins

Although the spider vein procedure does involve needle pricks, they are generally well tolerated. Walking is encouraged immediately after treatment with regular activities resuming 24 hours later.

Treated spider veins generally don’t return, but some patients do form new ones. If that’s the case, additional treatments will be necessary.
