Clearer Skin, Confident You: Effective Treatments for Spider Veins

At Rejuvenation Dermatology in South Edmonton, we offer proven solutions to help you achieve smoother, clearer skin. Sclerotherapy remains the gold-standard treatment for spider veins; effectively collapsing damaged vessels with minimal downtime. In some cases, laser therapy or lifestyle changes may complement results. Whether you're treating discomfort or seeking a cosmetic refresh, our experts are here to help.

Feel Comfortable in Your Skin Again with Proven Spider Vein Treatments

Spider veins can make you feel self-conscious, especially when they appear in visible areas like the legs, ankles, or face. Beyond appearance, some people experience discomfort like burning or heaviness in the legs. While these veins are rarely dangerous, they’re persistent, and won’t go away without treatment. Fortunately, sclerotherapy provides a safe and effective solution for most cases, and other options like laser therapy or compression may enhance results depending on your needs. 

Why Spider Veins Appear

Spider veins form when small blood vessels near the skin’s surface become enlarged or damaged. This often results from:

  • Hormonal shifts (e.g., pregnancy, menopause)
  • Genetics
  • Prolonged standing or sitting
  • Sun exposure, especially on facial skin
  • Aging or reduced circulation

While they’re typically not a health threat, spider veins can grow in number or size over time, which is why early treatment is ideal.

Sclerotherapy: The Gold Standard

Sclerotherapy is the most widely recommended treatment for spider veins:

  • A specialized solution is injected directly into the affected veins
  • The vein collapses and is gradually absorbed by the body
  • The procedure takes less than 30 minutes
  • Minimal downtime, with most people returning to regular activities right away

At Rejuvenation Dermatology, we tailor every sclerotherapy treatment to your vein size, location, and goals.

Other Treatment Options

While sclerotherapy is most effective for spider veins, some cases may benefit from additional or alternative options:

  • Laser therapy – Ideal for smaller veins or facial areas
  • Compression therapy – Helps prevent new veins from forming
  • Lifestyle adjustments – Regular movement, leg elevation, and sun protection can support vein health

Your dermatologist will assess your veins and recommend the most effective treatment plan, with sclerotherapy at the core.
