Spider veins often appear as thin, red, or purple lines across the legs or face, and while they’re usually harmless, they can be frustrating both cosmetically and physically. These visible veins may lead to self-consciousness, especially when wearing shorts or dresses, and can sometimes cause aching or itching in the affected area. Fortunately, with professional care, many patients experience noticeable improvements and renewed confidence in their skin’s appearance.
At All Glow Med Spa, spider vein treatments are performed under the expert care of Dr. Rajiv Rugwani, a board-certified ophthalmologist with a robust background in medicine and surgery. A University of Texas Medical School graduate at San Antonio, Dr. Rugwani completed his Internal Medicine internship at Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas and specialized in ophthalmology at UT Southwestern Medical Center. Dr. Rugwani’s deep understanding of medical science and aesthetics allows him to deliver precise, results-driven care to patients seeking clear, healthy skin.
What Are Spider Veins?
Spider veins are small, dilated blood vessels that appear near the skin’s surface. They often branch out like a web or tree and can form anywhere on the body, though they’re most common on the legs and face.
They may be caused by genetics, prolonged standing or sitting, pregnancy, hormonal changes, or sun exposure. Though not typically a medical concern, they can be treated effectively with minimally invasive procedures.
What Are Common Spider Vein Treatments?
Several safe, non-surgical treatments are available to reduce or eliminate the appearance of spider veins. Depending on your skin type and the size or location of the veins, Dr. Rugwanimay may recommend:
- Sclerotherapy: A solution is injected into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and fade over time.
- Laser therapy: Focused light targets the vein pigment and helps break it down without damaging nearby tissue.
- Thermo-Lo: A radiofrequency device treats tiny facial veins by delivering heat through a fine-tipped probe.
These procedures are typically well-tolerated and require little to no downtime. Multiple sessions may be necessary for full results.
