Spider Vein Treatment and Therapy
Treatment and therapy for spider veins, officially referred to as Telangiectasias, includes many of the same procedures as treatment of varicose veins. Although the two problems seem similar, spider veins are smaller than the veins affected by varicose veins. Spider veins are much more likely to affect areas around the face and neck, although they can appear anywhere. The spider web like appearance can be accompanied with a small level of discomfort, but they generally do not continue to get worse over time like varicose veins. There are a variety of treatments available, including home therapy and surgeries, but all cases do not need to be treated.

Damaged vein valves cause veinus reflux which can lead to multiple problems including varicose veins. The damaged valves cause a greater lack of circulationAlthough varicosities can occur anywhere in the body, it is most common in the legs where blood can pool. If circulation is poor, it is generally worst in the legs.

This video explains common treatments for spider veins. The problem commonly known as spider veins is the result of small patches of swollen veins near the surface of the skin causing an unsightly spider web like appearance. Although generally painless, spider veins are a cosmetic issue especially since they can be common on the face.
Treatments for spider veins vary, but generally surgery is not required. Sclerotherapy is a common treatment that involves a small injection of a concentrated salt solution into the problem areas. The salt solution kills off the spider veins thereby reducing any visible signs. The problem with sclerotherapy is that the spider veins can come back after the veins regrow. The positive aspect is that it is a very easy treatment on the patient and has a very high success rate.
