What are Spider Veins?

Spider veins are small, visible blood vessels that appear close to the surface of the skin. They are typically red or blue and often form thin, branching patterns that resemble a spider web.

Similar to varicose veins, spider veins most commonly develop on the legs and feet, although they can occasionally appear on the face. They are generally smaller than varicose veins and may cause mild burning, itching, or discomfort in some patients.

Common Symptoms

  • Red or blue veins
  • Small, thin vessels
  • Close to the skin's surface
  • Web-like appearance
  • Common on legs & feet
  • May appear on face

How We Treat Spider Veins

Our team offers minimally invasive treatment designed to reduce the appearance of spider veins and help you feel more comfortable and confident.

Sclerotherapy⌄

Sclerotherapy is an established medical treatment dating back to the 1930s, specifically designed to address varicose and spider veins. This method involves the injection of a solution, often a saline type, directly into the affected veins. The injected solution causes these veins to collapse and irritate the vessel lining, leading to their gradual disappearance. The treated veins swell, bond together, and form blood clots. Over time, these vessels transform into scar tissue and become less visible.

At Mid TN Vascular, we are proud to have a team of three experts, each with a wealth of experience in treating varicose or spider veins in Franklin, TN. Patients can often see noticeable results within a few weeks. Moreover, this procedure can alleviate symptoms related to varicose and spider veins, such as pain, burning sensations, swelling, and nocturnal cramps.

Why am I suddenly getting lots of spider veins?⌄

Spider veins are damaged blood vessels just under your skin that look red, blue or purple. They’re usually harmless. Spider veins don’t typically cause any symptoms, but rarely, may cause burning, itching or discomfort (especially in your legs). Treatments can get rid of spider veins and help you feel better about your skin’s appearance.

Will insurance pay for spider vein removal?⌄

No, insurance does not cover spider veins.

What vitamin deficiency causes spider veins?⌄

Lack of Vitamin C causes vein valves lose their strength and have difficulty pumping blood back to the heart. As blood pools in the vein, a visible spider vein forms.

Do spider veins mean poor circulation?⌄

No, that would be varicose veins. Spider veins usually do not have symptoms, but are considered more cosmetic.
