Spider Veins

Spider veins are small red, purple and blue blood vessels that follow a branching pattern and commonly appear on the legs, thighs, ankles and face. In addition to creating throbbing, cramping and aching sensations, spider veins can also have a dramatic impact on your appearance, causing you to appear older before your time.

At Marcus Medical, we are experts at administering comfortable and effective spider vein treatment, permanently eliminating these unsightly blemishes and restoring your smooth and youthful appearance.

What Causes Spider Veins?

Though spider veins can occur in young men and women, they usually become more prominent as people age. The most common risk factors for developing spider veins include:

Sitting or standing for prolonged periods of time
Being overweight or obese
Hormonal changes during pregnancy or menopause
Growing older
Hormone replacement therapy or the use of birth control pills
A history of blood clots
Congenital factors

Trust Your Spider Veins to a Specialist

At Marcus Medical, we specialize in permanently removing unsightly spider veins – restoring clear, smooth and beautiful skin. As such, we are proud to offer our discerning clients the following treatment options for among the best spider vein removal Los Angeles has available:

Laser Vein Treatment

The ideal option for small to medium-sized spider veins, our minimally invasive and virtually pain-free laser vein treatment works by sending strong pulses of light directly into the veins without damaging the surrounding healthy tissue. The blood vessels absorb the light, causing the veins to shrink and eventually disappear completely.

Sclerotherapy

At Marcus Medical, we use sclerotherapy for larger spider veins. During the procedure, we will inject a specialized solution directly into the vein using an ultra fine needle. Once inside, the solution will irritate the blood vessels forming the vein, causing a blood clot to form. The blood clot then turns into a scar tissue that gradually fades away over time, eliminating the vein for good.
