What It Treats
Spider veins commonly appear in areas that experience prolonged pressure or blood flow changes, such as:
Legs (thighs, calves, ankles)
Face (around the nose, cheeks, chin)
Spider veins can develop due to various factors, including genetics, pregnancy, or lifestyle choices. They often become more prominent with age or prolonged standing or sitting.
Understanding Spider Veins
Spider veins are small, visible veins that appear as web-like patterns on the skin. They can be red, blue, or purple in color and often resemble tiny branches or spider webs. Spider veins occur when blood flows backward through veins, causing them to dilate and become visible on the skin’s surface.
Some common causes and risk factors include:
- Genetics: A family history of spider veins may increase your risk.
- Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy, menopause, or birth control can contribute to the development of spider veins.
- Prolonged Sitting or Standing: Occupations or activities requiring long sitting or standing periods can lead to vein problems.
- Aging: As you age, veins naturally weaken and lose elasticity, making spider veins more likely to form.
- Obesity: Extra weight can put additional pressure on the veins, increasing the risk of spider veins.

Our Comprehensive Approach to Spider Vein Treatment in Arlington
At Dermestetics, we offer the latest, most effective treatments for spider veins. We focus on non-invasive methods to ensure minimal downtime and lasting results. Our team will work with you to know the best course of treatment based on your condition.
What does the treatment involve?
- Sclerotherapy: The most common and effective treatment for spider veins, sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution into the vein that causes it to collapse and fade away over time.
- Laser Treatment: A non-invasive procedure that uses focused light to target and break down the veins, causing them to fade and eventually disappear.
How long will the treatment take?
Most spider vein treatments are quick, with sclerotherapy sessions taking about 30 minutes and laser treatments often completed in under an hour. Treatment duration may depend on the extent of the spider veins being addressed.
Is spider vein treatment right for you?
If you’re bothered by the appearance of spider veins, treatment may be a great option. We recommend spider vein treatment for individuals who:
- Are in good overall health
- Have spider veins that are unsightly or causing self-consciousness
- Experience discomfort, aching, or heaviness in the affected area
How do we monitor progress?
Our team will track your progress throughout the treatment process, ensuring optimal results and making any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. We provide follow-up consultations to evaluate how your veins respond and determine if additional sessions are required.
