Spider Veins Treatment

Spider Vein Assessment and Treatment Options in Sydney

Home » Procedures » Spider Veins Treatment

Overview

Spider veins (telangiectasia) are small superficial veins that may appear on the legs or face. Treatment options depend on vein type, location, skin type, and whether there is underlying venous reflux. A consultation is required to confirm the diagnosis and suitability, and in some cases additional testing (such as ultrasound) may be recommended. Multiple sessions are often required and recurrence can occur.

Ideal Candidate

A suitable candidate is generally a healthy adult seeking assessment for spider veins, with realistic expectations about the need for multiple sessions and the possibility of recurrence.

You May Be a Good Candidate If

You have small superficial veins you would like assessed.
You can follow aftercare instructions, including compression use if recommended.
You understand that results vary and more than one session may be needed.

Surgical Techniques & Approaches

Your clinician will assess the veins and may recommend:

Laser or light‑based therapy for certain superficial veins (selected cases).
Further investigation or referral where larger varicose veins or reflux is suspected.

Treatment choice depends on vein size, location, skin type, and clinical findings.

Surgical Techniques & Approaches

Technique selection is individual and based on your anatomy, goals and safety considerations. Options may include:

Sclerotherapy (selected cases):

injection of a sclerosant solution to treat suitable veins.

Laser/energy‑based treatment (selected cases):

may be used for specific vein types or locations.

Assessment for underlying venous reflux:

may be recommended where varicose veins or symptoms suggest deeper vein involvement.
