| Spider veins or telangiectasias are small varicose veins located just beneath the skin. They are a problem for millions of people. You are not alone in your desire to rid yourself of these unsightly and sometimes painful veins. They may be inherited from your parents and may worsen with weight gain, pregnancy or simply for no identifiable reason. | |||

In many cases, spider veins are of a cosmetic concern only. In other cases, they may in fact be related to an underlying medical problem known as venous insufficiency or reflux (backwards flow of blood in the veins). In either situation, symptoms associated with spider veins range from itching or a dull ache to throbbing pain and bleeding.
Spider veins can be successfully treated with injection sclerotherapy. Sclerotherapy is the most popular method of eliminating spider veins. At Laser Vein Center of Fairbanks, we've recently added Cynosure Surface Laser to the list of treatment options for spider veins. With laser treatments, your downtime is minimized and side effects are nearly eliminated. |
