Vein Doctors Sydney can assist with several spider vein treatment options giving you relief from this uncomfortable condition.
Spider veins are small, thin veins that lie close to the surface of the skin. They are usually purple, blue, or red and may look like tree branches or spiderwebs with their short, jagged lines.
Spider veins are typically found on the legs and face and are caused by increased pressure in the veins. They are most commonly seen in women and are typically a cosmetic concern.
Vascular problems like spider veins are generally not dangerous, but they may cause aching, burning, or swelling in the affected area. If these symptoms occur, you should contact a doctor.

Spider veins form when the valves in the veins become damaged, and the regular flow of blood back to the heart is impeded. The result of this is that blood gathers in these areas of increased pressure, gradually forming bulges and eventually, spider veins.
The most common symptom of spider veins is a pattern of blue, purple, or red veins visible on the surface of the skin. These veins may be short and numerous or long and web-like.
Other symptoms of spider veins include:
Itchy, dry and scaly skin on your legs may be an indication of spider veins.
Spider veins can be diagnosed through a physical examination and medical history. In some cases, ultrasound imaging may be required to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other possible causes.

Enhance the appearance of your legs with spider vein treatment from Vein Doctors Sydney.
We are committed to providing high-quality spider vein treatments in Sydney. At Vein Doctors Sydney, we utilize Micro-Sclerotherapy, a method designed to help diminish or remove spider veins, aiming for effective results with slight discomfort.
Micro-sclerotherapy is a low-invasiveness procedure for the management of spider veins. A minute amount of a medical-grade solution is injected into the vein, using a tiny needle, which causes it to collapse and disappear.
Most patients report only brief, mild discomfort during the procedure. After the procedure, spider veins typically resolve over the next few weeks.
There is slight downtime required following the treatment and patients are generally able to return to their normal activities promptly. Compression stockings are recommended for a few days following the treatment to keep the superficial veins collapsed and assist in achieving optimal results.
The number of sessions required for the treatments will vary depending on your particular condition based on the size and location of the spider veins.
