​Before we discuss what happens during the personal consultation, a brief background to spider veins and varicose veins might be necessary. You see, most vein problems, including spider veins and varicose veins, are caused by a circulatory disorder known as chronic venous insufficiency. This condition, caused by the collapse of your vein valves, leads to blood accumulation in your leg veins. Over time, the lack of effective blood circulation and continued blood accumulation in your veins lead to spider veins and varicose veins.

During your initial consultation, our board-certified vein doctor will perform tests to identify underlying venous insufficiency. In some cases, spider veins aren’t caused by venous insufficiency — identifying the root cause is crucial for effective vein treatment. The following are the steps involved in a personal consultation.

• Visual Investigation: The vein doctor examines your spider veins and varicose veins to identify other possible signs and symptoms of vein disease — restless leg syndrome, leg heaviness, leg swelling, skin discoloration, etc.
• Vascular Imaging: The vein physician uses a diagnostic test called duplex ultrasound to visualize the blood flow in your leg veins, which reveals the diseased saphenous vein.

If you have underlying venous insufficiency, the vein doctor will need to collapse or remove the diseased saphenous vein responsible for your problems. The following are your minimally invasive vein treatment options:

• Radiofrequency Ablation: The vein doctor administers local anesthesia and creates an incision on the skin’s surface. The incision is an entry point for the catheter, driven into the diseased vein under ultrasound guidance. The vein doctor delivers thermal energy into the diseased vein, collapsing its walls.
• Endovenous Laser Ablation: The vein doctor administers local anesthesia and creates an incision on the skin’s surface. The incision is an entry point for the laser fiber, driven into the problematic vein under ultrasound guidance. The vein physician delivers laser energy into the diseased vein, collapsing its walls.
• VenaSeal: The vein physician injects a medical adhesive into the diseased vein to close its walls.

Despite the different methods, all minimally invasive treatments for venous insufficiency have the same goal — collapse the diseased saphenous vein to reroute the accumulated blood to healthier leg veins.

Treating venous insufficiency doesn’t necessarily remove the superficial spider veins and varicose veins. If you want to improve your legs’ cosmetic appearance, you’ll need the following treatments:

• Ambulatory Phlebectomy: The vein doctor makes small incisions on the skin to remove the superficial varicose veins.
• Sclerotherapy: The vein doctor injects sclerosant medicine into the spider veins to make them collapse and fade away.

The entire vein treatment process concludes in 30 to 60 minutes, following which you can resume your daily activities without downtime. However, the vein doctor will recommend the following guidelines:

• Wear compression stockings for a few days.
• Avoid heavy exercises for a few days.
• Walk frequently and avoid long stretches of inactivity.
