Treatment of spider veins and leg veins at TXID include: laser options and sclerotherapy. Texas Institute of Dermatology-San Antonio Clinic offers excellence in laser treatment for spider veins and leg veins. Sclerotherapy has been around since the 1930s and is used to treat unsightly spider veins and leg veins by injecting an irritant into the vein.\u00a0 This irritant causes the vein to eventually turn into scar tissue and fade from view.\u00a0 This is one of many injectable treatments available to treat varicose veins.\u00a0 This particular treatment can be used with laser treatments in order to catch spider veins that were resistant to the initial sclerotherapy treatment.\u00a0 Sclerotherapy is estimated to be effective in treating 50-80% of spider veins with each injection.<\/p>\n

The Texas Institute of Dermatology is proud to offer several technologies that can treat spider veins and leg veins, spiders veins and facial telangiectasia depending on their depth and severity.\u00a0 These treatment options include Advanced Fluorescent Technology and Nd: YAG laser technology.\u00a0 These technologies use strong pulses of light into the vein causing them to collapse. A compression dressing and elastic stockings are recommended after the treatment.<\/p>\n

Frequently asked questions:<\/span><\/h2>\n

5\/9\/12 – What is the basic charge for spider vein treatment? (Lori asked – San Antonio)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Spider veins, a milder form of Varicose Veins, are veins that have become gnarled and enlarged over time.\u00a0 While any vein can become varicose, the veins in our legs and feet tend to be at higher risk because standing and walking increases the pressure in your veins.\u00a0 Usually spider veins are fairly painless and become a cosmetic issue.\u00a0 However, in some cases, the veins can become painful and may also indicate underlying circulatory issues. Occassionally, veins become inflamed (phlebitis).<\/p>\n

The most widely used treatment for spider veins<\/a> is Sclerotherapy, which has been around since the 1930s.\u00a0 This injectable irritant causes the vein to eventually turn into scar tissue and fade from view.\u00a0 Sclerotherapy is estimated to be effective on 50-80% of spider veins with each injection.\u00a0 Costs for this treatment are usually between $349-$450 for a single treatment covering a 10 cm x 5 cm area or you can buy a three-treatment package for $899 – $999.<\/p>\n

As technology continues to grow, intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments are becoming more and more popular due to their speed and ease of treatment.\u00a0 Advanced Fluorescent Technology (AFT) for Rosacea and spider veins may help to treat enlarged veins that present on your cheeks or around the nose.\u00a0 This treatment, for a 10 cm x 5 cm area costs $399-$450 or a three-treatment package can be purchased for $999.<\/p>\n

Another form of light treatment is the long-pulsed YAG laser for spider veins. This treatment is similar to AFT in that it sends strong pulses of light into the vein causing it to fade over time.\u00a0 The long-pulsed YAG laser can be used on the legs, hands, and even the face.\u00a0 This treatment is widely becoming the treatment of choice for more stubborn veins.\u00a0 The costs for long-pulsed YAG are $399 for a 10 cm x 5 cm area or $999 for a three-treatment package.<\/p>\n
