Spider Vein Treatment
Sclerotherapy to eliminate unsightly spider veins on legs and face. Safe, effective treatment performed by Dr. Berens for smooth, clear skin. All vascular treatments at Dr. Berens MD Concierge Healthcare & Wellness are personally performed by Dr. Berens to ensure safety and optimal outcomes.
Spider veins (telangiectasias) are small, dilated blood vessels visible near the skin surface. They commonly appear on legs and face as red, blue, or purple web-like patterns. Sclerotherapy is the gold standard treatment. During sclerotherapy, a solution is injected into the vein, causing it to collapse and fade over time. This physician-performed procedure is minimally invasive with excellent results.
How Spider Vein Treatment Works
Vein Assessment
Dr. Berens evaluates your spider veins, medical history, and determines if sclerotherapy is appropriate for you.
Sclerotherapy Injection
A sclerosing solution is injected into the spider veins using very fine needles. Treatment takes 15-45 minutes depending on the number of veins.
Vein Closure & Fading
Treated veins close and gradually fade over 3-6 weeks. Multiple sessions may be needed for optimal results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does sclerotherapy hurt?
Discomfort is minimal. Most patients describe a slight burning or cramping sensation during injection. No anesthesia is typically required.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients require 2-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The number depends on the extent and severity of your spider veins.
What is the difference between spider veins and varicose veins?
Spider veins are small, superficial vessels. Varicose veins are larger, bulging veins that may require different treatment. Dr. Berens will evaluate your veins and recommend appropriate treatment.
Can spider veins come back after treatment?
Treated veins are permanently closed. However, new spider veins can develop over time due to genetics, hormones, or lifestyle factors. Maintenance treatments may be needed.
What should I avoid after treatment?
Avoid sun exposure, hot baths, saunas, and strenuous exercise for 2 weeks. Wear compression stockings as directed. Walking is encouraged to promote circulation.
