Spider veins, also known as thread veins, occur in women and men – even athletic people can be affected due to weak connective tissue. These are enlargements of fine skin veins caused by weakened connective tissue. Effective methods for removing spider veins without surgery are laser treatments or sclerotherapy at AIVA in Berlin. The dilated veins are closed by means of heating or sclerotherapy and without surgical intervention. The result is visible a few weeks after the laser treatment – beautiful, even skin without any scars.
Spider veins mainly appear on the legs, especially the thighs. However, other areas of the body can also be affected. At AIVA in Berlin, we also remove spider veins on the face, décolleté and stomach.
Of course, everyone feels differently, but our patients usually describe the laser treatment as a slight tingling sensation, not as pain.
Although fine needles are used to inject the medication into the affected spider veins and varicose veins, the minimal punctures are usually barely noticeable and not painful.
Depending on the size of the area and the extent of the spider veins, it is advisable to remove them in several sessions. Our team in Berlin will advise you on this during your initial consultation.
Small spider veins usually do not hurt. Larger veins can be slightly warm and painful when pressure is applied. We will examine you thoroughly before the treatment, but painful spider veins can also be removed.
Both procedures achieve a success rate of 80 to 90 percent. However, every person is different and we cannot give any guarantees. After a thorough examination, we can tell you your individual chances of success.
