Spider Vein Treatment
Effective, Minimally Invasive Relief with ECCO Medical
Spider veins—those thin red, blue, or purple lines that resemble a spider web—are more than a cosmetic concern. Often appearing on the legs or face, these visible blood vessels can also be a sign of underlying venous issues. At ECCO Medical, we offer advanced treatments that restore both comfort and confidence.
What Are Spider Veins?
Spider veins are a mild form of varicose veins that commonly appear just beneath the skin’s surface. Though usually harmless, they can sometimes cause discomfort or indicate venous insufficiency.
Common Symptoms
Visible red, blue, or purple veins
Leg pain, heaviness, or swelling
Burning or itching sensations
Skin discoloration or ulcers

Fast, Non-Surgical Treatment: Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is our go-to solution for spider veins. It’s a minimally invasive procedure that targets the problem at its source. During treatment, a special solution is injected directly into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and fade over time, resulting in visibly smoother, clearer skin.
Benefits of Sclerotherapy:
Quick in-office treatment
Minimal downtime
Long-lasting results
Little to no discomfort
What to Expect Before Your Procedure
To prepare for your appointment:
- Avoid direct sunlight on the treatment area for 2 weeks
- If possible, stop taking iron supplements 1 week prior
- Consider taking up to 2,000 mg/day of Vitamin C during the week leading up to treatment to aid healing and reduce bruising
Post-Treatment Care
To support optimal healing and results:
- Wear compression stockings for 5 days (remove at night)
- Walk at least 30 minutes daily and avoid long periods of sitting
- Avoid hot baths and direct sunlight for 2 weeks
Refrain from heavy lifting for at least 2 weeks - Optional: Use Vitamin C or Arnica to help with bruising
