It’s important to distinguish between varicose veins and spider veins when choosing between laser therapy, sclerotherapy, and vein surgery. With two board certified vein specialists, our center uses a combination of visual examination, functional flow measurements, ultrasound, transillumination, and infrared light to map out vein networks prior to therapy.

If it is not the temporal artery then this vein can be treated either by sclerotherapy or removal through tiny incisions. Either procedure is very safe and and can be done in the office under local anesthesia. Gaining weight is not the answer.
