One of ourΒ recent patients said:
βI recently received treatments with Dr. Billy. I was initially a little nervous about the treatments, but Dr. Billy and the medical assistants reassured me by answering all my questions and explaining the treatments in detail. The treatments themselves were actually pretty quick and painless. They use topical lidocaine and liquid lidocaine, and they are not stingy with it. Dr. Billy has great bedside manners and is easy to talk to. I really appreciate how he follows up after every treatment, the same day, to make sure you’re feeling okay. I highly recommend him and his team.β
Now, you might wonder what it is about our treatment that wins such loud praise from patients. Besides our exceptional vein doctors and friendly vein care staff, we also follow a uniqueΒ vein treatment process. We understand that spider veins are often indicative of underlying chronic venous insufficiency. As such, instead of simply treating the spider veins without deeper investigation, we identify and treat the root cause of your vein problems. That approach ensures optimal and lasting results β your spider veins arenβt likely to return. Each vein treatment is personalized to address your specific needs.
If you have spider veins, varicose veins, or other vein-related problems, we encourage you to consult the board-certified vein doctors at VTC San Diego. Our vein clinic in San Diego is located at 5330 Carroll Canyon Rd Suite 140, close to theΒ Torrey PinesΒ beach state park in the gorgeous La Jolla neighborhood. You mayΒ schedule an appointmentΒ online or call us at +1 858-461-7886.
If your spider veins are caused by underlying venous insufficiency.
Spider veins are dense clusters of blood vessels visible on the skinβs surface β they look like dense spider webs spanning outwards. Spider veins are generally considered cosmetic problems because theyβre not painful, and they donβt cause medical complications. However, spider veins are often symptomatic of a dangerous underlying medical condition known as chronic venous insufficiency.
Chronic venous insufficiency is a circulatory disorder wherein your vein valves collapse, making blood flow backward in your leg veins. Over time, blood continues accumulating in your leg veins, leading to vascular dilation and the eventual formation of spider veins and varicose veins. Our vein doctors always treat underlying vein disease before treating spider veins to ensure lasting results.
Minimally invasive treatments for venous insufficiency include radiofrequency ablation, endovenous laser ablation, and VenaSeal. These procedures use various techniques to destroy or collapse the diseased vein responsible for your vein problems. Once the problematic vein is removed, the accumulated blood flows into healthier leg veins, restoring optimal blood circulation.
Radiofrequency Ablation
The vein doctor makes a small incision on the skinβs surface to insert a catheter under ultrasound guidance. The catheter is lodged within the diseased veinβs walls to deliver thermal energy. The problematic vein collapses, and the accumulated blood reroutes to healthier veins.
Endovenous Laser Ablation
The vein doctor makes a small incision on the skinβs surface to insert a laser fiber under ultrasound guidance. The laser fiber is lodged within the diseased veinβs walls to deliver laser energy. The affected vein collapses, and the accumulated blood reroutes to healthier veins.
VenaSeal
The vein doctor injects an FDA-approved medical adhesive into the diseased veinβs walls under ultrasound guidance. The diseased veinβs walls fuse together, shrink, and get absorbed by the body. The accumulated blood flows into healthier veins.
After the primary vein treatment or if you donβt have underlying vein disease.
Ambulatory phlebectomy and sclerotherapy are considered the best cosmetic procedures for the visible varicose veins and spider veins on the skinβs surface. These procedures treat the visible veins on the skinβs surface after the primary vein treatment. In some cases, if you donβt have venous insufficiency, the vein doctor can directly offer sclerotherapy without the previously-mentioned treatments.
Ambulatory Phlebectomy
Ambulatory phlebectomy is a minimally invasive procedure for the superficial varicose veins, i.e., the large and dilated blood vessels bulging out from the skinβs surface. The vein doctor makes small incisions on the skinβs surface to physically remove the superficial varicose veins. The incisions are sutured and allowed to heal. Over time, the incision marks fade away, restoring your legsβ beauty.
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive spider vein treatment. Youβre a good candidate for this treatment if you have spider veins without underlying vein disease or after the primary varicose vein treatment. During this procedure, the vein doctor injects a medicine called sclerosant into the spider veins to fuse their walls, turning them into hardened scar tissues eventually absorbed by the body. The spider veins gradually fade away in 3 weeks, though some patients need multiple sessions.
Book a Consultation
Scheduling a consultation with one of our vein treatment experts is one of the best ways to determine the proper resolution for your varicose veins. The treatments can include sclerotherapy, laser or radiofrequency ablation, a medication called Varithena, or procedures such as Venaseal, or Clarivein.
