VARICOSE AND SPIDER VEIN TREATMENTS IN WEST OMAHA, NE

WHAT ARE VARICOSE AND SPIDER VEINS?

Varicose and spider veins are more prevalent in older women than men, potentially impacting their quality of life. These conditions occur when vein valves are damaged, hindering proper blood flow in the legs. The damage typically results from veins expanding, causing valves to fail. As a result, blood flows backward and collects in the lower part of the vein rather than moving toward the heart, leading to increased pressure and swelling of the vein. Key factors contributing to these issues include standing for long periods, pregnancy, aging, and obesity.

For those seeking spider and varicose vein treatment in West Omaha, understanding that these problems stem from poor circulation due to faulty vein valves is important. This condition causes blood to pool, swelling the veins and causing discomfort. Prolonged standing can worsen these effects by increasing leg pressure. Additionally, pregnancy, advancing age, and excess weight also increase the likelihood of developing these conditions. Treatment focuses on enhancing circulation and easing symptoms. Key differences include:

Appearance:

  • Varicose veins: Twisted and rope-like, bulging under the skin, colored blue, red, or flesh-toned.  
  • Spider veins: Thin, web-like lines near the skin’s surface, usually red or blue.

Location:

  • Varicose veins: Mostly found on legs (thighs, calves, ankles), can appear in the pelvic region during pregnancy.
  • Spider veins: Commonly seen on legs and sometimes on the face.

Discomfort:

  • Varicose veins: Often cause aching or heaviness in legs; may also lead to itching or swelling.  
  • Spider veins: Usually painless but can cause mild discomfort.

Severity:

  • Varicose veins: More severe, potentially leading to complications like skin ulcers if untreated.
  • Spider veins: Primarily a cosmetic concern.

Causes:

  • Extended standing
  • Pregnancy
  • Aging
  • Obesity
  • Genetics

WE TREAT SPIDER & VARICOSE VEINS

Are you bothered by the appearance of spider veins or those larger, bulging varicose veins? MOD Dermatology offers effective treatments tailored to manage these issues. Our dermatology specialists in West Omaha specialize in procedures that improve both spider and varicose veins, enhancing your confidence and comfort with your skin. Our treatments include:

  • Treatment for Spider Veins and Mild Varicose Veins: Sclerotherapy acts as an effective treatment option for both spider veins and mild varicose veins. Performed at our West Omaha office, the sclerotherapy procedure includes the injection of a specialized solution into the affected veins, making them collapse and close. This method stops blood flow effectively, leading to the gradual disappearance of the veins.
  • Post-Procedure Care: To ensure optimal results following sclerotherapy, it is recommended to wear compression stockings for two to three weeks. This supports healing and maximizes treatment effectiveness.
