Do you find yourself avoiding shorts, skirts, or sleeveless tops because of visible spider veins? These tiny, web-like veins can make you feel less confident in your own skin.
At Fountain of Youth Medical Spa, Dr. Nhi Le and her expert team specialize in treating vascular and surface conditions like spider veins using advanced, non-invasive aesthetic techniques. As Victoria’s premier MD-led medical spa, we combine medical expertise with compassionate care to help you achieve the results you deserve.
What Are Spider Veins?
Spider veins are small, dilated blood vessels that appear close to the skin’s surface, typically on the legs and face. They get their name from their web-like appearance, often showing up as red, blue, or purple clusters. While they’re usually harmless from a medical standpoint, spider veins can cause physical discomfort and emotional distress.
Unlike varicose veins, which bulge and may indicate underlying circulatory issues, spider veins are generally smaller and flatter. However, both conditions fall under vascular and surface conditions that benefit from professional assessment and treatment.
What Causes Spider Veins?
Several factors contribute to the development of spider veins, including:
- Genetics: Family history plays a significant role in your likelihood of developing spider veins
- Aging: Vein walls naturally weaken over time, leading to visible vessels
- Hormonal changes: Pregnancy, menopause, and birth control can trigger spider vein formation
- Lifestyle factors: Prolonged standing or sitting, obesity, and sun exposure increase your risk
- Injury or trauma: Previous damage to the skin can cause spider veins to appear

Ideal Candidates for Spider Vein Removal
Spider vein removal is ideal for individuals bothered by visible veins on their legs or face. You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have small, visible veins that affect your confidence
- Experience mild discomfort or aching in areas with spider veins
- Are in generally good health with realistic expectations
- Are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- Want a non-surgical solution with minimal downtime
How Does Spider Vein Removal Work?
Our spider vein removal treatment follows a proven, straightforward process:
- Medical Assessment: Dr. Le or a trained specialist examines your veins to determine the best treatment approach. An ultrasound may be used to check for underlying vascular issues.
- Asclera™ Injection: A sclerosant solution (Asclera) is carefully injected directly into each visible vessel. This solution irritates the vein walls, causing them to collapse and seal shut, stopping blood flow to the damaged vein.
- Natural Absorption: Your body gradually absorbs the treated veins over the following weeks, reducing visible discoloration and restoring a smoother appearance.
- Quick Recovery: Most patients resume their regular activities immediately. Compression stockings may be recommended for optimal results, but they do not significantly affect pain or recovery time.
- Follow-Up Sessions: Depending on the extent of your spider veins, multiple treatments spaced several weeks apart may be needed for complete clearance.
