PROVIDING SPIDER VEIN TREATMENT IN VENTURA & LOS ANGELES COUNTY

Spider veins are one of the most common vein problems that our vein specialist treats on a regular basis. Spider veins are characterized by thin clusters of red, purple, or blue veins that appear on the ankles, calves, and thighs. Spider veins can also appear on the face and chest due to sun damage.

Spider veins are more prevalent than varicose veins. In fact, the vast majority of people with spider veins do not have varicose veins. Conversely, the pressure associated with varicose veins often leads to the development of spider vein clusters.

FOR SOME, SPIDER VEINS CAN BECOME NOTICEABLE AT A QUITE A YOUNG AGE DEPENDING ON A NUMBER OF FACTORS, INCLUDING:

Hormonal shifts
Heredity
Weight fluctuation
Pregnancy
Activities/occupations that involve extended sitting or standing

In addition to these physical signs of leg vein disorder, you may also experience other symptoms such as muscle cramps (mostly at night), swollen feet and ankles, pain and heaviness in the legs, burning sensation in the legs, and even lower leg ulceration, skin dermatitis, and skin discoloration in advanced cases.

Fortunately, our vein specialist in Los Angeles offers effective, safe, and painless spider vein treatment options. On your first visit, we will perform a comprehensive evaluation to establish the extent of your venous problem, and then suggest one of these treatments:

LIQUID SCLEROTHERAPY
A liquid sclerosant is injected into small bluish veins (reticular veins) or thread like veins (spider veins) to induce damage to the inner vein lining to eliminate these veins.
ULTRASOUND GUIDED FOAM SCLEROTHERAPY
Dr. Shah uses a non-invasive form of sclerothrapy, known as Ultrasound Foam Guided Sclerotherapy for excellent results in the treatment of reticular veins.
VEINGOGH
Extremely tiny, hair-like spider veins are better suited for VeinGogh treatment, which can achieve results superior to traditional sclerotherapy.
COMBINATION OF THESE PROCEDURES
Achieving the best cosmetic results is our goal. Depending on your case, Dr. Shah may recommend more than one treatment option for optimal results.

DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF LEG VEINS

While visible leg veins are not life threatening, it is still important to restore healthy circulation to your legs to manage the symptoms and for cosmetic improvement. Your Camarillo vein doctor will access the health of your leg veins using visual inspection and ultrasound diagnostic tests to determine whether medical intervention is necessary.

A Venous Duplex Ultrasound exam is used to map the normal and abnormal veins in your legs, which helps to determine the cause, extent, and severity of the problem. Those with a family history of blood clots may require additional tests.

There are different treatments for visible leg veins depending on the nature and severity of the disorder. While ‘lifestyle’ adjustments such as walking, raising your legs regularly during the day, wearing loose clothing and flat shows, taking dietary supplements and medications help to manage the symptoms, their effects are short-lived and do not necessarily prevent the progression of underlying venous conditions.
