If visible veins on your legs or ankles are keeping you from feeling confident, you’re not alone. Spider veins and leg veins are common vascular concerns that appear as thin red, blue, or purple lines beneath the skin. At Glo Med Aesthetics in Nevada City, CA, we offer safe, effective spider vein removal using advanced sclerotherapy techniques to restore clear, even-toned skin.
Spider veins are small, dilated blood vessels that appear close to the surface of the skin, often on the legs, ankles, or face. They develop when the valves inside the veins weaken or fail to function properly, allowing blood to pool instead of circulating efficiently.
When the valves or structure of the vein walls become less supportive, blood flow slows and pressure increases, creating visible spider veins on the skin’s surface.
Common causes of spider veins include:
Though generally harmless, untreated veins may worsen over time or cause mild discomfort such as heaviness or swelling.
At Glo Med Aesthetics, our leading treatment for leg vein removal is sclerotherapy, a minimally invasive procedure that targets and collapses unwanted veins safely and effectively.
A specialized solution is injected into the affected veins, causing the vein walls to seal shut. The treated veins then fade naturally over the following weeks as the body absorbs them. Blood flow is redirected to healthier veins, improving circulation and the skin’s appearance.
Our experienced team personalizes every session to your vein size, skin tone, and treatment goals for optimal, natural-looking results.
Patients usually see visible improvement within a few weeks. Most return to normal activity immediately after treatment, wearing light compression stockings as advised to support healing and circulation.
Sclerotherapy treatments at Glo Med Aesthetics are performed by trained medical professionals using sterile, medical-grade solutions.
Sclerotherapy is a proven, FDA-approved method for spider vein removal when performed by qualified clinicians.
Spider veins are tiny, visible veins caused by weakened valves and increased pressure within superficial blood vessels. They often appear on the legs, ankles, or face and are usually cosmetic rather than medical concerns.
Professional sclerotherapy treatments effectively remove spider veins by closing the affected vessels. Over several weeks, the body naturally absorbs them, leaving skin clearer and smoother.
Improve circulation by exercising regularly, avoiding prolonged sitting or standing, and wearing compression stockings if advised. Protecting your skin from sun damage can also help prevent ankle veins and new spider veins from forming.
They are treated through minimally invasive injections such as sclerotherapy, offered at Glo Med Aesthetics in Nevada City, CA, which safely collapses unwanted veins without surgery.
Spider veins are generally harmless. However, if you experience swelling, pain, or color changes, it’s best to consult a medical provider to rule out underlying vascular issues.
