Spider Veins

Spider Vein Treatment

Spider veins are small red, blue, or purple blood vessels that appear close to the skin’s surface, most commonly on the legs. While often considered a cosmetic concern, spider veins can sometimes be associated with underlying venous insufficiency and should be properly evaluated before treatment.

At Vein Specialists of Augusta, Dr. James C. Sherman and our experienced team provide personalized spider vein treatment designed to improve the appearance of your legs while considering your overall vein health. Depending on the size, location, and underlying cause of the veins, treatment may include sclerotherapy, Excel V laser therapy, or other advanced vein treatments.

Preventing Future Spider Veins

Spider veins develop when small blood vessels near the skin’s surface become enlarged and visible. Genetics, aging, hormonal changes, pregnancy, prolonged sitting or standing, excess weight, and increased pressure in the leg veins can all contribute to their development. While spider veins cannot always be prevented, especially when hereditary factors are involved, certain habits may help support healthy circulation and reduce your risk of developing new visible veins.

Regular walking and exercise help promote healthy circulation.
Maintaining a healthy weight can reduce pressure on the leg veins.
Avoiding prolonged periods of sitting or standing may improve blood flow.
Elevating your legs periodically can help reduce pressure and swelling.

Compression stockings may support circulation when recommended by your physician.
Changing positions regularly helps prevent blood from pooling in the legs.
Addressing underlying venous insufficiency may help reduce continued vein problems.
Routine vein evaluations can identify changes that may benefit from treatment.

Even after successful spider vein treatment, new spider veins can develop over time. At Vein Specialists of Augusta, we look beyond the appearance of visible veins to evaluate your overall vein health and determine whether an underlying circulation problem may be contributing to their development. Dr. Sherman and our team can recommend treatment as well as practical steps to help maintain healthier legs and long-term results.

Advanced Diagnostics for Patients

Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective vein treatment. At Vein Specialists of Augusta, we use advanced diagnostic technology, including vascular ultrasound when appropriate, to evaluate blood flow, vein function, and the underlying causes of symptoms such as swelling, aching, heaviness, varicose veins, and other circulation concerns. This detailed evaluation allows Dr. Sherman to develop a personalized treatment plan focused on improving vein health and achieving the best possible clinical results.
