Spider veins prevention can be challenging

Spider veins are caused by a proliferation of capillaries and venules within the dermal and subdermal elements of the skin.

The causes of spider veins include genetics, hormones, sun exposure, and aging.  These are all very difficult factors to avoid, and it is thus very difficult to prevent spider veins altogether.

I prescribe the Omega intensive varicose vein complex cream to minimize the effects of spider veins. This provides a theoretical and functional benefit to patients with a history of spider and varicose veins.

Foam Sclerotherapy or glycerin sclerotherapy injections are probably the best way to get rid of spider veins at roughly $350-450 per session and usually 2-3 sessions 6 weeks apart. Compression stocking are helpful to prevent new ones but sometimes they are going to come regardless. Laser treatment are getting better but aren't there quite yet for leg spiders.
