Cosmetic Vein Treatments

Safe, Effective Options to Improve the Look of Your Legs

Cosmetic vein issues like spider veins, reticular veins, and mild varicose veins can affect how your legs look and feel. Our vascular specialists offer safe, minimally invasive treatments that improve vein appearance, reduce visible vein clusters, and help you feel more confident.

These treatments focus on cosmetic relief—not medical vein disease. If you’re experiencing leg pain, swelling, heaviness, or concerns about circulation, visit our Vein & Artery Care page for medical vascular treatment.

Cosmetic Vein Concerns We Treat

  • Spider veins (telangiectasia)
  • Reticular veins (blue or green surface veins)
  • Mild, non-painful varicose veins
  • Visible surface vein clusters on the legs, ankles, or face

How These Conditions Are Diagnosed

Before starting any cosmetic vein treatment, we perform a vein health screening to ensure visible veins aren’t a sign of underlying vein disease. This includes:

  • A visual assessment of the affected area
  • Vascular ultrasound if needed to check for hidden vein issues

If we detect deeper vein problems, we’ll discuss medical treatment first before proceeding with cosmetic care.

Treatments We Offer

Sclerotherapy

A quick, injection-based procedure that closes small veins like spider veins and reticular veins. The treated veins gradually fade over several weeks.

Surface Laser Vein Treatment

A laser procedure that targets tiny surface veins on the legs or face without the need for injections.

Vein Ablation for Cosmetic Relief

In select cases, heat-based vein ablation can treat larger reticular veins or mild varicose veins that contribute to visible vein networks.

What to Expect from Treatment

  • In-office procedures with little or no downtime
  • Gradual fading of treated veins over several weeks
  • Minimal discomfort during and after treatment
  • Improved appearance

Is Cosmetic Vein Treatment Right for You?

You may be a good candidate for cosmetic vein treatment if:
  • You have spider veins or small visible veins that bother you.
  • Your veins are a cosmetic concern and are not causing pain, swelling, or heaviness.
  • You want your legs or skin to look smoother and clearer.
Cosmetic vein treatment may not be the right fit if you have:
  • Leg pain, swelling, heaviness, or skin changes.
  • Concerns about circulation or symptoms of vein disease.

For those concerns, please visit our Vein & Artery Care page for medical vein treatment.

Ongoing Vein Health and Follow-Up

Cosmetic vein concerns may return over time, especially with contributing factors like genetics, prolonged standing, or hormone changes. We offer ongoing vein health support, advice on prevention, and touch-up treatments as needed.
