Spider Vein Treatment in Boca Raton and Boynton Beach, FL.

Although most people do not have pain associated with the presence of spider veins, it is common for people to relate itching and tingling over areas of spider veins. If you have tiredness, aching, and heaviness, as well as swelling and pain, there may be a deeper circulation problem that Dr. Schoenhaus can help to diagnose.

Recommended treatments for spider veins include the use of compression therapy with medical-grade compression stockings or socks. This will help with overall circulation and promote healthy blood flow. If you would like to have spider vein removal treatment, the best option is sclerotherapy. Sclerotherapy uses an FDA-approved medication that gets absorbed by the vein wall, and the body shrinks the vein. This is considered the “gold standard” of treatment and has the best outcomes. Other treatments include laser vein removal.

Spider vein treatment is performed in the office by Dr. Schoenhaus herself. We do not use a nurse, PA, or assistant to provide the treatments. In a comfortable setting, we clean the areas to be treated, and a tiny needle is used to place the medication into the vein. The key to success is to target the “feeder” vein. Imagine your spider veins are like branches and leaves on a tree. What you don’t see is the tree trunk. The feeder vein is like the tree trunk, and the spider veins are the leaves. If you want to kill the leaves, you simply cannot just cut off the leaves. They would grow back. It is important for you to cut down the entire tree trunk. In spider vein treatments, the best outcomes are when the “feeder” vein is treated first. This is why a skilled specialist should be performing the treatments.

Recovery from laser vein treatments includes wearing compression stockings (provided by the office). You may have bruising, which is normal and fades. It is recommended to take a natural supplement to minimize bruising (also provided by the office at the time of your consultation).

After spider vein treatments, there is no downtime. You can resume your normal activity immediately. It is recommended that you wear compression stockings (provided by the office) for three days and wear sunblock on your legs for three months post-treatment.

After the laser vein treatment is performed, you will have bruising to your legs. The veins will look darker and slightly worse before they start to fade and look better. On average, people need 3-5 treatments to achieve an 85% improvement in the appearance of spider veins. After each treatment, you will notice the veins fading. Your best outcomes will be seen 3-6 months after your last treatment. Remember, the veins did not appear overnight. They will not go away overnight. Patience is key here.
