If you are in reasonably good health, you are an appropriate candidate for sclerotherapy or laser surgery to remove spider veins. Your doctor will review the severity and scope of your condition and recommend a course of action. The doctor will also examine you to make sure that you do not have any other conditions of the venous system that might be causing the spider veins. For the treatment to be effective, you must address any underlying causes as well as the spider veins themselves.
Typical patients are women between the ages of 30 and 60 though increasing numbers of men are seeking treatment for spider veins.
