Vein Treatment Q & A

What is the difference between varicose veins and spider veins?

Technically, varicose veins and spider veins are essentially the same disorder, but varicose veins tend to be more unsightly. Varicose veins typically develop in the blood vessels in your legs, although any vein can bulge and become varicose. Once varicose veins surface and become twisted and clumpy, Dr. Ceballos can remove or destroy them without affecting blood flow to your legs.

Spider veins are a minor form of varicose veins, appearing as red or blue spider webs along the surface of your skin.

Are there risk factors for having vein disorders?

Yes, although you can’t always control your chances of having varicose or spider veins. Up to 60% of men and women have some sort of vein disorder, according to the National Institutes of Health. While you’re more likely to have a vein disorder if you’re a woman, about a quarter of vein disorder patients are men.

You also have a higher risk of struggling with a vein disorder if you:

Stand or sit for long periods of time
Cross your legs regularly when you sit
Don’t exercise regularly
Are overweight or obese
Wear tight clothes around your waist and legs
Wear high heels for extended periods of time
Are pregnant or menopausal

Can I get treatment for varicose veins and spider veins?

Yes. Dr. Ceballos recommends a treatment for your vein disorder based upon the severity of your condition. Your vein treatment might be as simple as wearing compression socks regularly to help redirect blood flow. It’s also possible that you might need an alternative treatment.

For example, having a sclerotherapy treatment for varicose veins requires the injection of a certain chemical directly into the vein, which forces it to close off. This treatment irritates your vein, causing scarring on the inside of the vein. Over time, your vein fades away.

If you have spider veins or very small varicose veins, you might only need microsclerotherapy. This treatment involves getting a smaller amount of the chemical injection to close off your problem vein.
