Spider Vein Treatment Arlington TX | Sclerotherapy & Laser Removal
Spider veins are small, twisted veins visible beneath the skin as red, blue, or purple web-like patterns — most commonly on the legs, thighs, calves, and face. While generally not dangerous on their own, spider veins can cause aching, burning, and itching, and are often an early warning sign of underlying venous insufficiency that can progress without treatment.
At Total Vein & Vascular in Arlington, TX, board-certified vein specialist Dr. Jerome Naifeh MD offers proven, minimally invasive spider vein treatments — including sclerotherapy and laser removal — with little to no downtime. Call (469) 844-8070 to schedule your evaluation.
What Causes Spider Veins?
Spider veins develop when the tiny one-way valves inside your veins weaken, allowing blood to flow backward and pool. This increased pressure causes small surface veins to dilate and become visible through the skin.
Common risk factors include:
-
Genetics — Family history is the strongest predictor
-
Prolonged standing or sitting — Nurses, teachers, and retail workers are at higher risk
-
Hormonal changes — Pregnancy, birth control, and hormone therapy weaken vein walls
-
Age — Vein valves naturally weaken over time
-
Obesity — Excess weight increases venous pressure in the legs
-
Sun exposure — UV damage is the primary cause of facial spider veins
Sclerotherapy for Spider Veins in Arlington TX — The Gold Standard
Sclerotherapy is the most proven treatment for leg spider veins and has been the gold standard since the 1930s. Dr. Naifeh injects a medical-grade sclerosant solution directly into the affected veins using a very fine needle. The solution causes the vein wall to collapse and seal shut — the treated vein gradually fades over 3–6 weeks as the body naturally absorbs it.
Most patients need 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for complete clearance. Every sclerotherapy treatment at Total Vein & Vascular is performed by Dr. Naifeh personally, who selects the precise sclerosant concentration based on your vein size and skin type.
Benefits of sclerotherapy:
-
No anesthesia required
-
30–45 minute in-office procedure
-
No downtime — return to normal activity the same day
-
Multiple veins treated in a single session
-
Significant fading visible within 3–6 weeks
Laser Spider Vein Removal Arlington TX — Needle-Free Treatment
For very fine spider veins or veins on the face, laser spider vein removal in Arlington TX is an excellent needle-free alternative. Laser energy is precisely directed at the vein, causing it to heat and collapse without any injections or incisions. Facial spider veins respond especially well to laser treatment.
Laser spider vein removal at Total Vein & Vascular uses the latest laser technology to target veins without affecting surrounding skin. Most patients see clear, visible results within 4–6 weeks, with no downtime and immediate return to normal activity.
Benefits of laser treatment:
-
Completely needle-free
-
No incisions or scarring
-
Excellent for facial spider veins and very fine leg veins
-
Quick in-office procedure with immediate recovery
Combination Treatment — Maximum Spider Vein Clearance
Many patients achieve the best results with a combination approach — sclerotherapy for larger clusters on the legs and laser treatment for fine surface veins or facial veins. Dr. Naifeh evaluates each patient individually and recommends the most effective plan for your vein type, size, and location.
Restless Leg Syndrome & Spider Vein Treatment Arlington TX
Many patients experiencing restless leg syndrome have an underlying vein condition contributing to their symptoms. Venous insufficiency and venous reflux disease are known triggers of restless leg syndrome — treating the vein condition often significantly reduces or eliminates symptoms entirely. Dr. Naifeh evaluates every restless leg syndrome patient for venous disease and creates a treatment plan that addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms. Call (469) 844-8070 if you have restless legs and haven't had a vein evaluation.
What to Expect During & After Treatment
Before your appointment: No special preparation needed. Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Avoid lotion on your legs the day of treatment.
During the procedure: Sclerotherapy is performed in-office with no anesthesia. You may feel mild stinging at each injection site, but most patients tolerate it very comfortably. A typical session takes 30–45 minutes.
After treatment:
-
Return to normal activity the same day
-
Wear compression stockings for 1–2 weeks to optimize results
-
Avoid strenuous exercise and direct sun exposure for 48–72 hours
-
Treated spider veins fade gradually over 3–6 weeks
-
Follow-up sessions scheduled 4–6 weeks apart if needed
