If you’re dealing with unsightly spider veins or uncomfortable varicose veins, You’re in good company—many people deal with this. Many people struggle with these vascular concerns that can affect both your confidence and comfort. At ANU Health and Wellness, Kathleen Mason-Morton, PA-C, offers advanced vein treatment solutions designed to help you achieve clearer, healthier-looking legs while addressing any discomfort you may be experiencing.
Vein Treatment
Understanding Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy stands as the gold standard for treating spider veins and small varicose veins, offering a proven solution that has helped countless patients achieve clearer, more comfortable legs. This minimally invasive procedure involves injecting a specialized sclerosing solution directly into problematic veins with a very fine needle for minimal discomfort. The solution irritates the blood vessel lining, causing it to collapse, clot, and eventually be reabsorbed by your body’s natural processes.
As treated veins gradually fade and disappear, your body redirects blood flow to healthier, more capable vessels in your circulatory system. Most patients begin seeing visible improvements within a few weeks, though some may notice results taking up to a month to fully develop. The number of sclerotherapy sessions needed depends on your vein concerns’ severity, with most patients requiring three to four treatments to achieve their desired results.
Benefits of Vein Treatment
Reduced Risk of Blood Clots
Treating problematic veins significantly decreases your chances of developing dangerous blood clots in your legs. When blood pools in damaged varicose veins, it moves more slowly and can form clots that may travel to vital organs. Professional vein treatment closes off these faulty vein and restores proper blood flow, creating a safer circulatory environment throughout your lower extremities.
Better Sleep Quality
Many patients discover they sleep more soundly after vein treatment because nighttime leg cramps and restless sensations are dramatically reduced. Spider veins and varicose veins often cause uncomfortable throbbing or aching that intensifies when you’re lying down. Effective treatment of these vein issues eliminates the underlying circulation problems that disrupt your rest and recovery.
Increased Exercise Tolerance
Vein treatment allows you to engage in physical activities with greater ease and endurance by improving blood flow efficiency in your legs. Previously, damaged veins may have caused fatigue, heaviness, or pain during exercise, limiting your fitness goals. After successful treatment, patients often report they can walk longer distances, climb stairs more easily, and participate in sports without the previous discomfort.
Faster Wound Healing
Healthy circulation following vein treatment promotes quicker healing of cuts, scrapes, and other minor injuries on your legs and feet. Poor venous circulation from untreated varicose veins can slow your body’s natural healing processes and increase infection risk. Professional treatment restores optimal blood flow, ensuring your tissues receive the oxygen and nutrients needed for efficient repair and regeneration.
Enhanced Professional Appearance
Vein treatment helps you maintain a polished, professional image in work environments where appearance matters. Many careers require standing for extended periods or wearing uniforms that expose your legs, making visible spider veins or varicose veins a source of self-consciousness. Clear, healthy-looking legs allow you to focus on your professional responsibilities without worrying about covering problem areas or feeling distracted by discomfort.

FAQs
What causes varicose veins?
Varicose veins develop when the valves in your veins become weakened or damaged, preventing blood from flowing efficiently back to your heart. This causes blood to pool in the veins, leading to enlargement and the characteristic twisted appearance. Common contributing factors include genetics, pregnancy, prolonged standing, obesity, and age-related changes in vein structure.
When to worry about varicose veins?
You should seek medical attention for varicose veins if you experience persistent pain, swelling, skin changes, or ulcers around the affected area. Signs of concern include veins that feel warm to the touch, sudden swelling in one leg, or skin discoloration near the veins. Early evaluation can help prevent complications and determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
How to get rid of spider veins?
Professional treatments like sclerotherapy are the most effective way to eliminate spider veins permanently. During this procedure, a specialized solution is injected into the veins, causing them to collapse and fade over time. While some topical products claim to reduce spider veins, medical treatments provide the most reliable and lasting results.
How to prevent spider veins?
You can reduce your risk of developing spider veins by maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and avoiding prolonged periods of sitting or standing. Wearing compression stockings during long flights or work days can also help improve circulation. Elevating your legs when resting and protecting your skin from excessive sun exposure may also help prevent spider vein formation.
What is sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to treat spider veins and small varicose veins. A sclerosing solution is injected directly into the problematic vein using a fine needle, causing the vein lining to become irritated and collapse. The treated vein is then gradually absorbed by your body while blood flow is redirected to healthier veins.
Is sclerotherapy safe?
Sclerotherapy is considered a safe and well-established treatment when performed by qualified medical professionals. Most patients experience only minor side effects such as temporary bruising, swelling, or skin discoloration at injection sites. Serious complications are rare, and the procedure has been used successfully for decades to treat unwanted veins with excellent safety records.
