Spider Vein Treatment in Forest Hills, Queens
Spider vein evaluation and sclerotherapy treatment in Forest Hills, Queens and Great Neck
About Spider Vein Treatment
Spider veins are small, web-like clusters of red, blue, or purple veins that appear close to the skin surface, most commonly on the legs and face. While usually not dangerous, spider veins can sometimes appear with underlying venous insufficiency, especially when they are paired with leg heaviness, aching, ankle swelling, itching, burning, restless legs, varicose veins, or skin discoloration. At M&S Vascular and Orthopedic Group in Forest Hills, Queens, Dr. Amir Salem provides spider vein evaluation and treatment for patients from Rego Park, Kew Gardens, Jamaica, Flushing, Bayside, Great Neck, and nearby communities. The visit is designed to separate cosmetic spider veins from symptoms that may need ultrasound vein mapping before treatment. Sclerotherapy involves injecting a specialized solution directly into spider veins, causing them to collapse and fade over several weeks. For patients searching for spider vein removal in Forest Hills, spider vein treatment in Queens, sclerotherapy near Rego Park, or a vein doctor in Queens, our office builds a plan around both appearance and medical context so deeper reflux, PAD overlap, prior clot history, and mixed orthopedic leg pain are not missed.
What to Expect
Your Visit, Step by Step
During your spider vein consultation at our Forest Hills office, Dr. Salem will examine the visible vein pattern, ask about symptoms, and look for clues such as ankle swelling, heaviness after standing, skin changes, varicose veins, tenderness, or prior clot history. If symptoms suggest venous reflux or another circulation issue, duplex ultrasound may be recommended before cosmetic sclerotherapy. Sclerotherapy treatment usually takes 15-30 minutes. A fine needle injects a sclerosing solution into each spider vein. You may feel a mild stinging sensation. Afterward, you may wear compression stockings for a few days and can usually resume normal daily activities immediately. Most patients need 2-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart, depending on the number of treated areas and whether underlying vein disease also needs attention.
