Spider veins – a purely aesthetic problem?

Are you bothered by fine, visible blood vessels on your legs? If so, did you know that these bluish-red vessels are the first visible signs of venous insufficiency are? In medicine we call them spider veins. The problem: some spider veins sometimes turn into varicose veins. And these in turn can lead to phlebitis and thrombosis if left untreated. Such vein problems often come to light sooner or later.

Preventing venous insufficiency – what really helps?

For beautiful, well-groomed legs most do a lot: care creams, hair removal, fitness exercises or anti-cellulite products. However, the fine veins remain. We can remove your unwanted guests with procedures that have been tried and tested for years, to give your legs back their youthful skin appearance after just a few treatments.

Before treating spider veins, it usually makes sense to perform an ultrasound of the veins to rule out broken venous valves as the cause of spider veins. Because otherwise they will come back immediately.

“Data shows: Up to 70% of all women have spider veins. They are often harmless, but extremely annoying – especially in summer. But with the help of a special sclerosing agent spider veins can be removed quickly and effectively after just a few treatments.” – Dr. Peter Herndlhofer

Say goodbye – Remove spider veins

During the treatment, we obliterate the affected vein by injecting a special liquid called Aethoxysklerol® directly into the vessel. Wrinkles and other skin changes on your legs remain unchanged, but spider veins can be treated effectively in this way. This is because countless studies have shown that most of the fine, visible veins disappear as a result. The trick: Aethoxysklerol® causes the inner walls of the veins to react with each other, causing them to stick together within seconds. After that, your body does the rest. It breaks down the broken veins and makes them disappear from your skin.

Did you know: The special liquid can also be used to remove varicose veins. However, a mixture of air and liquid is usually used to create a foam that can also obliterate thicker veins.

Still questions about removing spider veins? Our FAQ section cannot replace a consultation, but is intended to provide initial guidance.

There is a widespread misconception that compression stockings must be worn after every vein treatment. This is not true! The fact is: sometimes it makes sense to wear stockings for a while. But it all depends on the treatment and the symptoms. It is important not to expose the treated area to sunlight for 10 days, otherwise skin discoloration may occur.

Because spider veins can be caused by damaged venous valves and varicose veins, you should always have them checked out to avoid long-term consequences such as painful phlebitis.

Your body has a deep and superficial venous system. In the course of vein sclerotherapy, we treat only the superficial veins that are responsible for the annoying spider veins or varicose veins. If defective venous valves are the cause, the affected sections of the vein and the varicose veins should be removed. Because: Your body can well do without the pathologically changed veins, as they are the source of thrombosis and inflammation and have lost their original function.

You can remove spider veins with a special liquid called Aethoxysklerol® or with an Nd-YAG laser. With the laser, however, it depends on the exact color of the fine spider veins whether they can be treated effectively. This is because the laser does not recognize all shades of color. It is therefore usually more effective and quicker to remove the troublesome spider veins using sclerotherapy.
