Spider Vein & Varicose Vein Treatment - No surgery required

Spider Vein & Varicose Vein Treatment

Smooth, Clear Legs & Skin — No Surgery. Minimal Downtime. Maximum Confidence.

Visible veins—whether on the legs, face, or body—can be frustrating and difficult to hide. At Integrative Dermatology & Laser Spa, we offer a powerful, non-surgical approach using two gold-standard medical technologies:

  • Sclerotherapy for leg veins

  • Nd:YAG 1064 nm vascular laser for face, body, and deeper leg vessels

Under the direction of board-certified dermatologist Dr. Vindhya Veerula, we deliver safe, effective vein clearing with precision and confidence.

What Is Sclerotherapy?

The Gold-Standard for Spider Veins & Small Varicose Veins

Sclerotherapy treats:

  • Spider veins (telangiectasias)

  • Reticular veins

  • Small varicose veins

A sclerosing solution—typically Polidocanol or Sotradecol—is injected directly into the vein, causing it to collapse and gradually fade as your body naturally reabsorbs it.

Sclerotherapy has been safely and effectively used for over 50 years and remains the preferred option for leg veins that are too large or too tortuous for lasers.

Does Sclerotherapy Work for Everyone?

Most patients see excellent improvement, though results vary:

  • ~90% see moderate to significant clearing

  • ~10% may see minimal improvement

  • Rarely, veins may not disappear fully

Multiple sessions are typical for best results.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Most patients require 3–4 sessions, though mild cases may need only 1–2, and more extensive vein networks may need 6+ sessions.

Common Side Effects (Normal & Temporary)

Transient hyperpigmentation (5–10%)
Light brown streaks that fade over 2–12 months.

Sloughing (<3%)
Small ulceration at injection site; heals slowly and may leave a faint scar.

Allergic reactions (very rare)
More likely in allergy-prone patients.

Pain or tenderness
Temporary soreness, bruising, or vein tenderness for 1–7 days.

Nd:YAG 1064 nm Vascular Laser

For Facial & Body Veins, Redness, and Resistant Leg Vessels

Our long-pulsed Nd:YAG 1064 nm vascular laser is a powerhouse for treating veins that:

  • Are too small, too red, or too superficial for sclerotherapy

  • Are on the face, where injections aren’t appropriate

  • Are deeper leg veins resistant to surface sclerotherapy

  • Are part of diffuse redness (rosacea)

  • Include spider angiomas, cherry angiomas, or broken capillaries

Why the Nd:YAG Laser Works So Well

The 1064 nm wavelength penetrates deeper into the skin, allowing us to target:

  • Facial capillaries

  • Nose veins

  • Cheek redness

  • Spider angiomas

  • Blue and purple veins on legs

  • Vessels not accessible by injection

It selectively heats the blood vessel, causing it to collapse and fade without damaging surrounding skin.

Benefits of Nd:YAG Vascular Laser

  • Safe for all skin types (Fitz I–VI)

  • Perfect for facial veins that cannot be injected

  • Great for people who want no needles

  • Minimal downtime

  • Treats both fine red vessels and deeper blue vessels

  • Builds long-term skin clarity

Patients often see improvement immediately or within several weeks.

Sclerotherapy vs. Nd:YAG vs. Combination Approach

Which Treatment Is Best for Your Veins?

Treatment Best For Pros Limitations
Sclerotherapy Leg spider veins & reticular veins Most effective for leg vessels; time-tested; treats larger networks Not ideal for facial veins; not for very tiny vessels
Nd:YAG Laser Facial veins, nose veins, cherry angiomas, small red vessels; deeper leg veins Non-invasive; great for face; safe for all skin types May require multiple sessions for leg veins
Combination Therapy Mixed vessel sizes; stubborn veins; full leg rejuvenation Fastest clearing; most comprehensive; superior long-term results Requires strategic planning by a trained provider

At our clinic, a combined approach is often the most effective and the fastest route to clear skin.

What to Expect During Your Vein Treatment

Comfortable. Controlled. Dermatology-Guided.

During Sclerotherapy:

  • The area is cleansed

  • A tiny needle injects the sclerosing agent into the vein

  • Mild tingling or warmth may occur

  • Support stockings may be recommended afterward

A session takes 15–30 minutes.

During Nd:YAG Laser Treatment:

  • Eyes are protected

  • The laser handpiece delivers pulses of light to the vein

  • You may feel brief heat or a rubber-band snap sensation

  • Cooling is used to enhance comfort

  • Veins gradually fade over weeks

A session takes 10–20 minutes.

After Your Treatment

You may experience:

  • Mild redness

  • Temporary darkening of the vein

  • Minor swelling or tenderness

  • Small bruises (common with sclerotherapy)

Walking is encouraged.
Strenuous exercise, heat, and saunas should be avoided for 24–48 hours.
