Reduce The Appearance of Unwanted Veins

Spider veins are small, dilated blood vessels that appear close to the skin's surface, often forming web-like patterns in shades of red, blue, or purple. While usually harmless, they can cause aching, burning, or cosmetic concerns that affect your confidence. Spider vein removal is a specialized treatment that aims to eliminate these veins safely. At Vein & Aesthetics Center of Tampa Bay, Dr. Fariba Gharai uses advanced sclerotherapy injections and YAG laser technology to restore clearer, healthier-looking skin.

Sclerotherapy Injections

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure that targets spider veins by injecting a specialized sclerosing solution directly into the affected vessels. This solution irritates the vein’s inner lining, causing the walls to swell, stick together, and eventually collapse. Over time, the treated vein is reabsorbed by the body and fades from view, while blood naturally reroutes through healthier veins. Performed by Dr. Gharai, this technique is safe, precise, and highly effective in reducing or eliminating unwanted surface veins.

Advantages of Sclerotherapy:

Gold standard treatment for spider and reticular veins
Requires fewer sessions compared to laser treatments
Long-lasting results with reduced risk of recurrence
Quick, in-office procedure with minimal downtime
Mild discomfort and well-tolerated by most patients

YAG Laser Vein Treatment

YAG laser vein treatment uses a 1064 nm wavelength of focused light energy to target the hemoglobin within spider veins. The laser generates controlled heat, which coagulates the blood and damages the vein wall without harming the surrounding skin.

This process causes the vein to collapse and gradually be absorbed by the body’s natural healing mechanisms. The result is a visible reduction or complete clearance of treated veins. Dr. Gharai offers this precise, non-invasive solution for patients seeking clearer skin.

Advantages of YAG Laser Vein Treatment:

Non-invasive option with no needles or injections
Targets small, superficial spider veins with high precision
Minimal discomfort, often requiring only topical numbing
Quick treatment sessions with little to no downtime
Provides gradual, natural-looking clearance of veins

Get The Most Out Of Sclerotherapy With Aftercare.

After your spider vein removal in Tampa, you can go home and resume regular daily activities immediately. However, you should avoid strenuous exercise, hot baths, and prolonged sitting or standing for at least 24 hours after the procedure. You may experience some mild discomfort, bruising, or swelling at the injection site, which will generally subside within a few days. Dr. Gharai will advise you to wear compression stockings for a few days to lessen swelling and promote healing. Sclerotherapy works well for many patients; most see spider veins respond immediately or within three to six weeks, depending on the vein size.

Are spider veins harmful to my health?

Spider veins are usually considered a cosmetic concern rather than a serious health problem. They rarely cause complications, but in some cases, you may experience mild aching, itching, or burning sensations. If you also have varicose veins or leg swelling, these symptoms could signal underlying venous insufficiency, which Dr. Gharai can evaluate during your consultation.

How do I know if sclerotherapy or YAG laser is right for me?

The best treatment depends on the size, depth, and location of your veins. Sclerotherapy is generally preferred for larger or reticular veins. YAG laser therapy works well for very fine, superficial spider veins and is an excellent choice if you’re needle-averse. Dr. Gharai will recommend the most effective plan based on your vein patterns and overall health.

How many treatments will I need?

The number of sessions varies depending on the number and size of spider veins, as well as your body's response to treatment. Many patients see visible improvement after one or two sessions. With YAG laser therapy, several treatments may be required to achieve optimal clearance. Your personalized treatment plan will be discussed during your consultation.

What should I expect after treatment?

After sclerotherapy, you’ll likely be advised to wear compression stockings and walk regularly to encourage circulation and healing. Bruising or slight discoloration may appear but typically fade within a few weeks. After YAG laser therapy, treated veins gradually fade over several weeks as your body reabsorbs them. Both treatments involve minimal downtime.
